Has anyone tried using on a platform bed? There is no frame to attach strap to. Will it be stable? Hubby could really use this, does not want newbed

I bought this for my mother, who does not have a platform bed, and until we had it secured to the frame it was not steady. That being said, if the base of the bed is wood, you could set screws or bolts down through the base of the bed cane (which is wooden) and into the platform. Without knowing your specific bed or your access and ability with drills and such, it's impossible to say. For my mother it was not secure until that strap was attached and tightened.This was a great addition to the bed for my mother. She loves it.

I bought one for my mother. And it comes in so handy. It's a great investment. The way you attach it, is the straps go underneath the boxspring. Not to the mattress. The weight of the mattress and the straps on the boxspring or frame of the bed, secures the device security.

This is not the bed cane for a platform bed. Get a larger, more sturdier one that requires no strap.

I put my mattress on the frame and had no board and no trouble. Are you sure you put it together properly? Is there a box spring? I don't think it will stay on the frame without a box spring.

its sits on a platform, about couple inches below frame. I bought a half size box spring, and i have box spring and mattress on there. Its a little high but it looks ok. It would probably look best with just mattress and no box spring. So, to answer question, it sits a few inches below frame on platform. Bed is very nice, bought it a couple weeks ago, put it together all alone, and pretty simple and easy.

I am using a platform. I had a platform bed with drawers under that I had an I am still using it. Works great and love my Brentwood 10" HD Memory foam mattress.

Probably not. Ours is on a platform frame and it's working fine. Use a box spring only if there's no support under the mattress, like with a plain metal frame.

It's average for a platform bed. But the overall height will depend on the thickness of the mattress you use with it.

I would imagine it could be used with a platform bed. It has two metal pieces that extend off from the legs that bolts to the bed frame. So I would say yes to answer your question but I can't say for a fact as I have a standard queen sized bed on a normal frame.

I secured my mother's to the boxspring below her twin mattress...so it depends on the sturdiness and design of the wood platform, I suppose--there is quite a bit strap(s) to work with but I don't know the measurements of your platform. The best I can do is have you compare to a twin size boxspring. The product is very well made, by the way.

You need something stable to hold it. A simple steel frame with a couple cross braces isn't enough. Use a box, use the floor, use a platform or slat bed frame.

I would recommend it. The bed is pretty high and the platform frame is pretty strong. My kids have jumped on it and it holds both of them.

It needs to be sandwiched securely since it comes in 2 pieces. I don't think it will work on a platform bed unless the bed portion is completely flat and solid.

I have a boxspring with it. because there are slats and not a platform, I do not think a mattress alone would work very well. Great bed - looks beautiful and appears way more expensive then it is. I highly recommend it.

I previously had a foam mattress and the regular box spring DID NOT support it. I bought a slated platform bed frame and am so happy I did. I made a world of difference in the support. Get a good platform bed frame... all are not equal. It creates a nice storage area for roll out storage bins and I am very happy with my mattress and the bed frame set now.

I have a mattress on a sheet of plywood and it works fine for me. HOWEVER, the strap won't connect to the platform unless you finagle a hook of some kind. I made one from an old clothes hanger, but wound up not using it because the weight of the mattress keeps it in place for me. I am elderly and use the Rail to both keep me from rolling off the bed and to help me rise. The Rail itself sits firmly in place unless you deliberately pull it out (which a child might do).

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

No, it is not a platform bed. There are three cross rails to support the mattress.

It needs to be attached to metal bed rails. I am not sure of the construction design of a platform bed.
