I am looking to get this for my toddler, would a bed safety rail fit? (ie - does the mattress sit down in the frame, or is it level with the frame)

I don't have this bedding set, and my daughter is still in a crib... BUT, When my sister purchased this bed for her son, she worried about him falling out and just got crafty for a bed rail. We cut a pool noodle in half, length and width, and placed it under the bed sheet as a rail. Worked FANTASTIC.

As people have noted, there isn't a substantial lip, so whether a rail would attach is mostly an issue of the size of the hardware. We never used a safety rail since it is a short fall. Just placed some pillows strategically the first few nights to see if it would even be an issue.

Bout an inch on the side 2 inches head and feet. Yes a toddler would roll right off the bed you would need railing for the little one

Not sure on the safety rail but the mattress sits down a little. There is a small lip around the bedit sits in. Hope that helps some.

I never measured, but my son has a standard twin mattress on it and it fits perfectly. The rails don't come up over the mattress too much though, so if your little one is small you might want to get a bedrail for one side and maybe the head.

Hi Ray! We also don't have a box spring and the mattress + frame work great together. We laid on the bed, (we're plus size!) and had a family member look under the bed and there wasn't anything "spilling" between the metal frame rods. I would say a box spring is totally unnecessary unless you want it for height. .

No. A toddler bed is too small and there are wooden slats with spaces between each slat that hold the mattress. I put particle board on the slats for extra support for the twin mattress so that would be an option. Although getting tripped up in space between a toddler mattress and the bed frame is a danger for an elevated bed.

Not sure how floppy the memory foam mattress is. The bars underneath the mattress are spaced pretty well. We have a regular top mattress with no bunkie and it is very well supported. No dips or lumps or bumps. The distance between the top rail and the top of the mattress is a bit of a consideration. We bought a new top mattress that is a bit thicker than you might traditionally see for a kids' bed, and, as a result the top rail doesn't offer any real protection. I would be worried about that with a 4-5 year old, but not older kids.

It comes with 2 side rails, which we kept on the bed the whole time. They are low enough for your child to climb over them but just high enough not to roll out when they are sleeping. We never had any issues.

It seems that the designer of the bed doesn't think a guard rail is needed -- the steel frame of the springs should give it enough structural rigidity. However, I wouldn't like that frame exposed, and so when that time comes (my granddaughter is only 10 mos old right now), I plan to just fashion a piece of wood, shaped with a router to a nice curve and stained, to serve to cover the exposed spring frame so it looks like it's a proper piece of the bed.

There is a different part for the toddler bed. You need new rails unless you bought them with the original crib.

HI, � i have a standard twin mattress on there and it fits great. There's about 4-5 inches of railing (after the mattress is up there) so my 5 year old felt perfectly safe. And i felt good about her being up on top. I hope this helped.

The frame sits about an inch and a half off the floor. I thought if I put my son's twin bed on risers I could fit this underneath but it is definitely not for under a standard twin bed. Unless it's a day bed or something made especially for a trundle.

from the floor to the side frame is 9 and 1/2 in. With both the boxspring and mattress distance to floor is 29 in. Does that help? I hope I understood your question My daughter loves the bed!

We personally did not like this mattress, but to answer your question. My granddaughter has gotten so very tall that she is now in what you would call a junior bed or a small twin bed and we use a Simmons Beauty Rest Med, Firm for her right now. Hope that helps, the important thing is to keep a bed guard up so they don't slip out of bed and as toddlers they seem to prefer a slightly softer bed than most adults can use , indulge them with a plush mattress for a while , it will change soon enough. Thanks for asking.

It's been so long since we put it together, I can't recall the specifics. However, in my opinion this bed is safe. When we got it I had a 2.5 year old, who was able to easily go up and down the stairs. My biggest concern with any bunk bed is the potential to roll off. So, we bought a thin mattress for the top bunk to make sure that the guard rail was tall enough. We've never had a problem!

The crib is adjustable for four mattress heights. It does not have a drop rail. I was under the impression that the drop side cribs are now banned due to their not meeting safety standards and the potential for injury or death? The adjustable heights on the mattress work very well and are not a hardship, partly due to the crib itself being built lower to the ground. We transitioned from a drop side to this crib almost two years ago and he is now three and nearly ready to go to the next stage on the crib - removing one side and replacing with the side rail that comes with it. We actually got the new crib because he was so active and energetic and we were afraid the other one would collapse on him. The new DaVinci has been wonderful - no problem in the Cherry finish at all, looks great, and is so sturdy for this extremely active little boy! We're delighted with our choice and plan on a white one for my grand daughter soon.

I don't think that this would work in your situation. I tried to install this on a bed without a box spring- the mattress sat on the wooden slats. The rail part (which is what you see in the picture) is a round metal tube perhaps 3/8 inch diameter- so there would have to be a gap between the bed and the frame. The other issue I ran into was the round piece at the end of the strap to hold the rail flush against the bed (the straps run under the bed and are meant to wedge between the box spring and mattress). Since I was trying to install it with a mattress on a flat surface the circle was unable to lay flush against the bed and would slip free. Both issues meant that I was unable to secure the bed rail to our child's bed and I ended up having to return it. I went with the little bumpers that slip under the sheets and that has worked wonderful for us. Since you are using this on a trundle bed I would expect you to run into similar issues.

Has anyone found where to buy the toddler rail to match this crib? Bought crib last January. Love the crib but now need to plan for the toddler rail.

You can use it with a convertable crib that you have changed to the toddler bed mode, but not as it is still in crib mode. The rail has hinges that stick out on the side of the mattress so the walls of the crib would get in the way of those.
