My boys play rough and I'm worried they will get hurt if they bump into the metal frame corners. Does the mattress lay above the frame or inside a bit

Inside a bit. There is a chance that they might bump into the metal corners. My husband and I have had minor bruises bumping into the frame. But the under-bed storage is unbeatable... maybe install bumpers (tennis balls) around the corners somehow??

Yes, I agree with the other person who responded. It lays inside just a bit.

The mattress is completely inside the frame, the the metal frame is exposed around the entire bed.

its ok for your kid to play in. But I purchased a mattress so my son could be comfortable if he fell asleep.

Yes. I even put a featherbed under it before I moved. Really cushy. Fitted sheets go over it, but newer sheets are larger/deeper than older ones because newer mattresses are thicker.

It is open underneath. Mine has a support leg in the middle on each side. It would not be easy to slide a mattress in and out of under the bed.

I never felt the bumps when I tested it, I think little kids are too light to feel them anyway. No idea if it would bother the mattress, it didn't do anything to ours though.

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

The frame does not hold the mattress in place, i.e., it can slide some. For the most part I have not found this to be a problem. The bed is well built. I have two.

This is a good frame and would support two twins....I don't believe they will slip. This does clip together in the middle....sounds like it's not sturdy but it is. If you put a king size padded cover on it....might be enough to keep the mattresses together

We do not use plywood under our mattress. I think it would cause the mattress to slide, and the platform is designed to use the metal grid to stop sliding.

Not really they are strong metal frames that connect together. Grandson sleeps on and I tried first night was great bed.

Yes, a twin size mattress will fit underneath. We put one under ours so we could sleep both our boys. Our matress does sit on the floor though. No bedrails or frame. I don't think there would be enough head room if you used a frame for a mattress.

we did not have a bed frame before but the steel unit has "floor protectors" that tend to slide a little on our wood floor.and they make a clicking sound when weight is shifting on the mattress itself. I think it would fit inside any king mattressbox frame as the metal frame does not come up the sides of the foam. there is a simple "pretty cheap" dust ruffle to cover the metal frame. we use this unit as a main bed and so far are o,k. with it, and we both have back issues and not all bedswork out. we did buy a Costco mid price range mattress and happy with it also. we did not have a bed frame before but the steel unit has "floor protectors" that tend to slide a little on our wood floor.and they make a clicking sound when weight is shifting on the mattress itself.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

I would just push the mattress up to fit tighter at the top of the bed. It would be much safer and that's what I did for all my kids beds.

We used a thicker mattress for comfort, but once the baby got more active the thicker mattress allowed her to stand a little taller in the crib. We simply dropped the mattress frame down further. We've not experienced any further issues, still love this crib. I hope that helps you!

No my son it never bothered him. No damage to mattress however I would suggest putting something between the metal bars and crib itself. It did make tiny scratches.

Think thin. You need a bunky board underneath the mattress and if the mattress is too thick it will be above the rail and therefore unsafe.
