Is this sufficient to convert twins to king alone or do you recommend a "bed bridge" to place between the mattresses and/or a mattress pad? Thanks!

my [non-expert] opinion is that you would be well advised to get a bed-bridge; but much depends on what kind of mattresses you're trying to join.

I just bought the 'bed bridge' and it works perfectly. Also, I bought the strap to hold the two mattress's together. Would do it again for sure. My new mattress cover is a high quality, don't skimp on this.

I honestly would not buy this again. It is no different from the tie straps that you can pick up at any store. I don't feel that it helps. We also purchased a bridge that doesn't really help either. You can still feel the seams even though we have a mattress pad over the top of all that. We had to go and buy an egg crate cover to help.

It is sufficient to hold the twin beds together. We still use a bridge to fill in that little gap.

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights. Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

I only purchased a single bed, so don't know how it would work to have the two together. I would think it would be hard to make the bed with two unless you have plenty of room to walk around it and pull the sheets up. Mine keep slipping off when I raise the bed, but I like to sit up to read and watch tv so I'm constantly adjusting the sheets.

We used it to convert queen to king and it worked fine. Should do the same for you.

We bought 2 twin mattresses, put them on existing twin frames and then pulled the frames next to each other to make one, sort of queen-sized, bed. This allows us to move independently in the bed without disturbing one another. The height of this bed is about that of a regular bed. I doubt if this helps, but hope it does.

They'll definitely work. I have regular size twin and there was plenty of leftover strap once I put them together. I was able to put the twin beds together and set them up as a king on my own; very easy to do and I'm very pleased with the product overall!

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.

Yes. In fact, all the box springs that I have seen for king sized mattresses use two box springs instead of one. Having said that, if you are asking if box springs for twin beds will work, I would say that they probably will, but I don't know for sure, but any mattress dealer should be able to answer that for you. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have the same mattress. Buy a wood board to put underneath from home depot... Its a reallly thin piece of wood or use something similar. And get the dual bc the single one has way too many false alarms. Love it and worth the investment

Anywhere you would use a twin size - yes. BUY IT. I find it to be well made, no smell, & its holding up just fine without any issues. This is a great buy I would make again without a second thought. Reminder it does need support like any mattress underneath.

I have a twin XL with a single control, much different from this one which is meant for a bed for two.Why not call Sunbeam or check for "Sunbeam heated matress pad instructions" online. Sorry that I could not help more.I love this matress pad. It is so nice to slip into a warm bed on cold winter nights.

The two beds do come apart to be used as individual twin beds, the only catch is the top bunk foot board will have a hole where the entryway for the stairs is. You can simply cover up this area with a quilt of some sort if it is an eye sore. Upon inspection you can take the rails off the sides with the allen wrench so it looks like a regular twin bed. I also went to the the Bedz King website just to verify this so the answer about removing guardrails from top bunk is yes.

We did one set on our twin, which we prefer. Having just one on each side of the bed protects our toddler from rolling out, but allows him space at the bottom of the bed to crawl out. It's worked out well for us so far.

Yes. That is how I am using mine - crosswise under my twin mattresses in a split king adjustable bed. Each twin can have the head or foot raised or lowered, and the suspenders under the mattress help hold the sheets in position instead of pulling out every time I adjusted the bed.

Wait, sorry I was thinking of a trundle bed I bought on Amazon. The king-maker is a pad that goes on top of two twins and straps everything together by the corners to make a King. It has a foam piece that fits in the empty center. It's fairly comfortable. The only thing that's a little difficult is finding a place to store it when you're not using it.Just take off the pad and push your beds apart again for two twins.

No, this isn't a lightweight cot by any stretch, but it is not particularly heavy. Without a mattress, it could be lifted by a single reasonably strong individual (albeit very awkwardly). Moving it with 2 people would be easy. My concern with lifting it by myself would have to do more with the fact it is made of composite wood and lacks much in the way of horizontal support mid-frame, so that if you bump it hard, you could tear out the fasteners at the ends. (Heavier solid wood likely would make for stronger joints.)

No, the bed is attached to the headboard and the footboard, so you cannot use it without the footboard. I believe twin is for 1 person but full and queen are made for 2 people.
