I have a hook on full size headboard/footboard that I want to convert to a queen size mattress -any suggestions-

These hooks are MUCH larger than they look in the photo. They would not fit into the grooves that were already in the headboard I had (which I had purchased at a consignment store). What I recommend is making sure you match the slots that currently exist in the head- or foot-board with the hooks themselves, to make certain that they're large enough to accommodate these giant hooks. Then on top of that, you need to worry about the difference in dimension from king to queen . . . I seriously doubt that this product will give you enough width to bridge the gap from king down to queen sized bed frame. I haven't seen your headboard/footboard, but an alternative (if the board legs are not skinny in width) would be drilling holes in the head/foot board an simply using long screws to attach the bed frame. For that you'd need to start with the dimensions of a queen sized bed frame and see if you can affix it to your head/foot board. IF you need an extender (and you likely will), this isn't the product for you. I would instead look for a product that is flat . . . I hope this makes sense. The thrift store headboard that I purchased was my summer DIY nightmare, far more complex than I could've imagined. :-)

This will work, but you'll have to get a queen frame like this one Leggett & Platt Consumer Products Group Adjustable Fashion Bed Rails, Queen (to hold the weight of the mattress) and use the hook converter to attach the headboard/footboard to the frame. In my case, the width of the converter is enough to go from the full headboard to a queen mattress, but in another case I used Bed Claw Queen Bed Modification Plate, Headboard Attachment Bracket, Set of 2 as well as the converter to bridge the gap.

You will need to be a little creative but it is doable. Just not sure how it will look. Full is 54" x 75" and queen is 60" x 80". Sooo... 2 things you will need. First: New queen length rails that are 80" long. Second: you will need to rig the hooks to be 3" wider on each side. While not much there is a little effort to it. I haven't found a ready made solution to do this second part. The first part you can find at most any mattress / thrift shop most likely.

Any twin bed frame will do, but if you want to use the footboard, you'll need the extended frame. I believe you can search for it as a "twin bed frame extension kit." If the manufacturer offers anything for the conversion, go with that. I didn't and kinda regret it. We ended up with something too makeshift for my liking without having the right tools.

I had the same situation and it worked out. There's a few things to consider... the hooks on the ends must match firstly, which is hard to calculate unless you know what the prior ones looked like. There's a good change they WILL work, because they were somewhat common across beds, but there are exceptions. The length is a 'standard' length - so the basic question to find out is... will the hooks properly hook into your headboard and footboard. If you DON'T have the originals, find the cheapest set of adapter hooks (not the bars, just hooks) that appear to match those on these rails, order them, and if they fit, return them and order these bars. Secondly, make sure that you have a normal length mattress. That would be likely unless your mattress/box spring themselves were antiques and well... who would like that? ;)

I have a queen size bed....and it is just a few inches longer and wider. You might want to see if they make a larger one.

This system is to convert and center a FULL size head and foot board TO a QUEEN mattress set . over priced for a queen to queen setup .But the only option I found for a full to queen setup .

It depends upon how high the hook catches are on your headboard and footboard. On my bed it's 8.5 inches from floor to bottom of bed frame. I have both hooks on catches. The frame bottom is roughly between the two catches. I suppose if I wanted it higher or lower, I could just use one hook catch. However, if I wanted it higher, probably would be better to add a lifter to the legs. Hope this helps

This is will work well. I went from an old bed to a king bed frame. I had to add an extra clamp board around the back of head board post. Just using the hooks the head board isn't real solid. But it's easily done.

The width fits a queen size bedframe. As stated in answer to previous question, "There are plates included that bolt to both legs of the frame and bridge the gap." I did not do this as the headboard then would be wider than the full size frame. Mine was for a queen & fit niecly.

I think the headboard converts to a foot board. It comes with extensions that can be removed to make it shorter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005A4ON90/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We got a queen memory foam that was recommended to go with the queen headboard. It works fine.

I have a Queen size on mine only because I already had the Mattress. The Queen size is one foot to wide but it still works. Just hangs over the back edge. If you don't have a mattress don't buy a queen size ,get the full size.

Probably too big - I have a queen size. It will not attach properly to your bed frame if you have a full size. If you want to attach it directly to the wall and don't mind that it will extend slightly on each side of the bed it will be fine.

it takes a queen size to fit a queen size bed. Full and queen size are not interchangeable.

The full size ~ the queen size would be too large and not fit correctly on the top of the mattress. Measure the height of your mattress to see what size depth you will need. If it's a pillow top then anywhere from 12"-17" if it's standard then smaller. I hope this helps.

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!
