To clarify about my bunk bed with a bunkyboard (no box spring), the mattress sits down in the rail and I can't tell if this will effect the install

You might be able to slide it over some and lay the angle arm down into the bed rails, but if not it will bc otherwise it would sit lopsided

If the mattress doesn't fit too snugly to the outside edge of the bunkyboard it will work. We are using ours with a twin captains bed and it works great. The bed rail sits under the mattress edge and then the strap goes under the matress and holds it secure. Hope this helps.

No you need a box spring or you could get a piece of plywood cut to the size for the bunk bed .

We used a bunk mattress which is thick and has a board on the bottom so we didn't use a box spring. I am not sure.

Hi Jane, I apologize but I really can't give you an accurate answer to your question just because I have never tried using the Hide Away rail without a box spring. What I can tell you is that the rail slides in and out with great ease due to the rail being between the softness and weight of the box spring and mattress. I can't imagine how it would slide easily without both. As far as sturdiness without a box spring, I can not answer that.

Yes. The side velcro pieces/bar will be clamped down to the top of the bed rails.

This probably depends on the bed frame. We have a flat piece of plywood under ours. Works perfectly! No box spring required. :)

The rail has two long poles attached (approx 3') that slide underneath the mattress of any size bed. Also included are a pair of straps to secure the rail on the opposite side, in case the weight of the mattress isn't enough to keep it from moving.

The trundle that I have it on has a spring base so I am not using a box spring with it. As I remember bunk beds usually have either slat supports or spring supports so I would say no a box spring shouldn't be needed

I have just a mattress on the frame, with no box spring. The bed doesn't really need a box spring, but I was still fearful of sagging. So, I ordered two bed boards the place in between the mattress and frame and have had no problems.

It is just the bed rails, that the box spring usually sits on, sometimes there are rollers on them, other times not. My bed rails that came with my bed matched up perfectly and I had no problem attaching them.

I can't answer this because I installed it on a truck without a bed just frame rails

I think it does. If there is no box spring the bed would be too low and possibly below the start of the velvet part of the headboard.

Yes. It works just like a regular rail, except it also "tightens" down to the top of the mattress. My 2 year old can sleep right up against it and it never moves or shifts at all. It would be impossible for him to shift it or roll between the rail and the mattress. We used ours on a daybed which like a convertible crib, does not have a box spring.

I believe the rails connect the headboard and foot of the bed together. They are metal. I ordered a queen size frame and the is a gap between the end of my mattress and the foot of the bed also if you are not using a box spring mattress with this you will need to get some kind of slants to support your mattress

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

Rachel we still used the bed slats just as an extra form of protection/ to reinforce the box spring. I would GUESS you don't need the slats... I'm guessing you're saying the box spring fits perfectly in the rails, in which ours does, but i'm old school" we used the slats as well. IF someone heavy sits on the bed the slats take on the pressure of the extra weight. Hope this helps

The box spring will sit on the side rails and the support beams...they are the same height
