Does it work with a thick mattress to provide enough of a rail so my baby can't climb over?

It works on a thick mattress. Ours did not climb over. It really depends, I suppose on how active your baby is. It is a deterent for sure.

This works fine for thick mattresses. My only problem was that the mattress was below the frame line which made it impossible to lower the rail to easily change the sheets.

It's not high enough to not climb over, it's really meant to prevent them from rolling off a bed but It really would only be about a foot high

It will stabilize it, but you may have to adjust the height of the frame to take advantage of the mattress weight.

No, there is no rail that holds the mattress in; it just sits on top of the frame.

No, due to the height of the rails. The rails are not tall enough for both a mattress and box spring, the mattress would slide right off due to not being contained by the rails. But the bed frame is made to not need a box spring at all, which is how I use it with no problems.

Unfortunately no...the height of the rail would be the same height as the mattress for a normal sized bed. It's a short rail in height, tall enough to keep my one year old from rolling out of bed, but she can climb into bed right over the rail.

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

It is not tall enough to go below both a mattress and a boxspring. If you only have the mattress on top of the bed frame it can work. The rail normally fastens with a belt around the boxspring, but could be adapted to fasten to the bed frame.

No. I got it for my daughter who is 3 yo. She had no problem to sleep in it without safety rail

We used ours on a twin bed but there's no reason it wouldn't work for a larger bed. There are straps to help secure the rail but we did not need to use them.

It is very sturdy but I would not let my baby go near or under it. A little common sense it would probably tip over.

The bed we use it on has a box spring under it, so I can't say for sure - but, if the bars that go under the mattress can rest on the metal spring support and not fall through, then I don't see why it wouldn't work. This bedrail also has a strap with a heavy piece of metal that acts as an anchor when you put under the mattress; it helps hold the bed rail in place. Hope this information helps.

I've been using this with my little girl since she was one and a half. With the mattress it's about knee hight. She's fell off once but never really got hurt. I recommend getting a rail guard if your toddler sleeps like a tornado, they sell them at target or on Amazon for 30 and under. The bed has held up amazingly by the way, still looks brand new after a year with an 8 year old and a toddler.

I was initially concerned about the railing because it came up only a few inches above the top of our standard size twin mattress and we were putting our 2-year-old in the bed. He has never fallen out of it and it is enough of a lift from the top of the mattress that he rests against it and doesn't roll over it when in bed. Once he does get more daring, though, it will offer little deterrent from jumping....but we're talking a 4' fall to thick, padded carpeting...

It should work just fine. My daughter's crib also has a wooden platform, not springs, and this bed rail is designed specifically for these types of cribs.The rail has durable, adjustable straps that run from the rail under the mattress and to a metal disc. You place the disc upright against the opposite side of the mattress from the rail, and the mattress itself holds the rail in place. Unless your kid is strong enough to lift up his/her mattress, you shouldn't have any problems with the bedrail moving or shifting at all.

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.

As long as there is a hard surface between the mattress and the platform, the rail can be used. Ours is supported by the mattress and box springs as well as the weight of the user.
