We're having a problem with our box spring and mattress slipping off of our basic frame. Does this frame hold the bed in to keep from slipping?

Well, it's a platform bed, so the bottom mattress lays fully on the platform and can't really slip off. I suppose the top mattress could slip...hard to say because mine is Tempurpedic and super heavy, so they don't slip at all.

We are using a memory foam mattress, it has not slipped.... Hope that helps. Love the bed - I was surprised how deep it is.... it could probably hold a box spring and mattress.

When the box spring and mattress are placed on the frame it leaves an approximately 2" lip on the sides of the mattress . I have not noticed any movement. It is a very solid frame.

You don't have to use a box spring, but the wood holding up the mattress is not sufficient enough in terms of strength to hold up the average mattress. You should place additional pieces of wood on the frame or get a flat piece of wood cut to the length and with of the are in which the bed will be placed. Put it over the wood to brace the mattress.

Hi. While I can't be certain, I would say No, it won't slip. I figure as long as you tuck the additional material under the mattress (between the mattress and boxspring), I can't imagine how 10+ inches of securely tucked fabric could escape in order to slip/move around.

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

We like ours. We have had no slippage whatsoever and my husband naps on it daily. Just be sure the frame you get has the metal keepers on the front which prevents slippage.

We have not noticed it slipping - but I think you can buy straps to put on the frame to stop the mattress from slipping. Maybe you could try a rug pad.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

Yes! Once I opened my mattress I put it right on my frame and since then it bends and unbends without a problem!

It stays on very well. I had an older 8" futon mattress (size = full) that stays on there great. I particularly like leaving it in the most reclined position which does not seem too reclined really. The front is angled up enough that your butt does not cause the mattress to start sliding off. Plus the wooden grooves sort of prevent it from moving. Unless you have a thin rigid mattress with a smooth cover, it should not slide off. I would think a very thick mattress and a thicker, high quality mattress cover would work especially great on this frame. The frame is very strong too.

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

the mattress is heavy and it will not slide off of your box spring, as long as you dont have plastic on your box springs !

Not at all. I put my mattress in a bedbug cover and laid down a skirt for the frame, popped the bed right on top. I even got under the frame with my wife laying on the bed to check if a box spring could prove beneficial and it would probably make the bed sag if you were to use one. The support of the frame is phenomenal, and no box spring would be better. Not to mention you'd need to jump to get into bed with one, the platform is pretty high, and if you use a deep mattress your already pretty high off the ground.

The corners of the fitted sheet do hold in place, however the whole sheet slips down a bit. After the bed goes up the sheet is not tight and somewhat loose. However, I don't see how it could be any other way. I just pull it upward somewhat when making the bed.

We bought the frame and all, we also kept our box spring and placed it on top. It moves around and we have to slide the Heavy thing around without moving the box spring. (Can't be done, so we fuss over the thing once a week.)

The mattress topper has a fitted skirt so basically it tucks under the box spring instead of the mattress, i bought sheets that do the same so i didn't have to worry about it, but my regular sheets that I've used in between washes, never slipped off or had any problems, however my boyfriend says it slips off when he sleeps but he tosses and turns a lot. Hope this helps!

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.
