Will this work on custom toddler bed that sits on a wooden platform inside the frame? Do the front legs hang lower than the base of the mattress?

hi! Im sorry. I dont understand your question. English is not my first language therefore I dont know what a custon todler bed is for you. If it helps, this bed rail works with a kind of rope that goes from the barrender to the other side, where it is kept firm by a metalic circle that must be placed perpendicular to the mattress. I hope that helps!

The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame. I have a thinner older mattress and I don't use a box spring because the head board seemed to short and there was too much mattress showing (for me). It looks now the way I think a platform bed should. PS: The bottom of the frame/rails is only 6" from the floor. I was happy about this because my (at the time) puppy could not get under the bed... But turns out her toys could AND SHE COULDN'T RETRIEVE THEM HERSELF, so I have to keep a hanger in my nightstand that I reach under the bed and slide her toys out from under (the things we do lol) The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame.

Yes. My daughter uses the full-size mattress with the full-sized platform bed frame and has no box spring mattress on the platform. It would actually be way too high with an additional box spring mattress.

I use mine with a platform bed, and have had no problems. We simply ensured that the rail's legs were positioned on the slats of the platform bed for complete support. The rail has never shifted once, not even when our son has been pressed tightly against it or when we change the sheets.

you take the front side off, put the mattress in the lowest setting, and use this product http://www.amazon.com/Kidco-Convertible-Crib-Bed-Rail/dp/B002ZDFVP4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top to make a short side to keep the toddler from rolling out. graco does not make or sell a conversion kit to make it a "toddler bed" that most people assume.

Thanks for your interest in the bed. This is a platform bed so the mattress just sits on a platform. If you put a box spring under the mattress you would be too high. You could possibly remove the platform and set the box spring down into the frame but I cannot say for sure as I don't have one to look at in person.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

Our crib converted to a toddler bed by basically removing the front railing. We are using this product with good results. It's designed for a twin bed or bigger - so we had to put the hooks in the middle of the bed to compensate for the straps being too long. But it seems stable enough for our needs.

Depends on the rail I think. Side rails usually have straps that slide under the mattress. Some wrap around the box spring but others have a 'catch' (on the other side of the bed) at the end of the strap. I would think it could be worked out. In fact, I tend to think even the ones that wrap around the box spring could wrap around the platform portion of the bed in the same way

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

No, not without modifications. It's really a platform bed meant for a springless mattress.

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.

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.

If the mattress sits down inside any sort of bed frame (meaning that the top edge of the frame comes up above the bottom edge of the mattress on the bed rail side) you will need to make some modifications before it will work. I use the bed rail on a twin bed without a box spring, but I needed to raise the mattress up to the level of the top of the frame to make it work. I did this by placing 2"x10" boards on top of the frame, and setting the mattress down on top of the boards.

I dont use a footboard and it doesn't stick out at all. It's designed like other frames were it is a bit shorter than the mattress.

I am using it as a replacement for a bed rail on their toddler beds, and it works great. As long as you place it under the fitted sheet, you can't get under it, it stays in place, and truly does keep my girls (twins) from falling out of their bed.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats...if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

Yes it works until unless ur mattress is of standard size by height. My mattress is little bit high than the usual mattress . But it does work and its a beautiful crib. Go for it I am using for my month old son.
