The ad says that you do not have to lift the mattress, but show that they criss-cross underneath. Could someone explain how they are attached?.

I hook one end about 1 to 1 1/2 foot from corner. I slide/ pull the other end underneath the mattress and then hook it. I have a 12 in. thick foam mattress and the sheets would pull loose at the corner. These help keep the sheets in place.

The way I do it is put the fitted sheet on the mattress then put one end of the strap on the elastic of the sheet on the top of the mattress, stretch it diagonally across (under the end of the mattress) and clip the other end of the strap to the elastic of the sheet on the side. If you are facing your mattress from the bottom the straps should form a triangle: the straps being the bottom and the two sides of the sheet's elastic the other two sides of the triangle. I know this might be hard to understand ( a picture would do it better) but I hope this helps!

They clip on like an oldfashioned garter to the corner, then you run it along side the edge to the next corner and pull it under and clip.

They have one that criss-crosses in the center underneath but I got the set the that just goes under the corner. The one I got is called "Adjustable Sheet Mattress Corner Straps" you do have to lift the corner of the mattress just a little to get the "suspenders" on/in. It is about the same as when you but a sheet on that is not made exactly 12/or whatever inches tall/thick. Hope this helps.

I would suggest these be left under the mattress and you can use wooden clothespins to attach the ends to the fabric seam of the box spring. This way, when you change the fitted sheet you can just attach it without lifting the mattress. These work way too good at keeping the sheets stable to go with another brand.

We use just a king-size mattress. We keep the remotes separate. You can raise and lower the head and foot of each side separately just a little. If you want it raised a lot you need to raise both sides and keep them fairly even. We have no trouble with the remotes not synced. Just know if you use the vibrate feature on one side you can feel it on both.

Sorry it took so long to answer - my email was down :) - The instructions say you just unsnap the corners, put the new sheets on and snap in the new corners - NOT SO - because the are stretched to hold down the sheets the are under tension - so when you unsnap they go under the mattress and you have to crawl in between the mattresses to retrieve. I just take them completely off - put on the clean sheets and put straps on. Hope this helped.

I was wondering the same..is it all one part or is there gaps in between? Where the mattress goes? No gaps would be wonderful and sturdy.

There seems to be a female end within the actual wood of the crib sides that the screw is tightened into to hold the mattress up. I used the crib at the highest adjustment and to now the toddler bed. It's been moved twice and has held up very well with no damage or stripping, spluttering, or cause of uneasy.

Hello, there are some cross bars to support the base, (you need to put base under the mattress)

I bought one each for my parents armchairs and we found that you didn't need to put anything under the other side. Hope this helps.

You just have to pull them out of the boxes which will look too small. However the top mattress just unfolds and you simply have to unfold and zip the cloth on the box spring. It took me all of five minutes for both. Simply love it!!

A boxspring isn't necessary, the mattress sits on a platform. The picture shows bed without a boxspring

They aren't made to attach to anything. You can only rest the bed legs on top of the risers, which made my queen bed very wobbly. I can't imagine they'd feel secure even on a twin bed. I threw mine away after realizing they didn't accept returns.

If you anchor it to your bed, the side next to the bed should be rolled down permanently. So, when you're in bed, you just reach over and pick up your baby. You shouldn't be rolling up and down the side each time.

This foam mattress comes in a vacuum package. This should have been evident when you opened the original package. Unless you have the equipment to do a large scale vacuum package, forget about it. just double up the mattress and tie it tight. good luck.

they just kinda fold up...there is a crease that you fold it along. I've had trouble getting it to stay up though. Not sure how to make that work well

It basically has prongs on the ends that connect each end to each rail. It was very simple to do. Adjusting the center 'leg' and guessing the height was more trial and error. Compensating for carpet thickness and compression with people on the bed. I can say the center support was the perfect fix for what I incorrectly thought was a bad mattress.

Mine is at my cabin so I can't see it right now, but I don't remember there being any brackets. Also mine is used only as a bed so it's open all the time. I have another futon used as a couch. It's a little different than this one. It does not have brackets either, but the mattress miraculously stays put. If you look at the picture of the futon you're asking about, see how the seat area slants downward toward the fold? So basically where your knees bend over the edge, its a little higher than the fold/hinge area. I think that downward slant toward the back fold is kind of helping keep it in place. Hopefully someone using this as a sofa can help more! Mine is at my cabin so I can't see it right now, but I don't remember there being any brackets.

It took some effort to have them aligned. My advice is: 1) do not tighten any screws in the middle of the alignment. 2) remove the mattress if necessary so that you will have a much lighter frame to deal with.
