Is it possible to leave off the side rail on one side of the bed? I generally like to sit on the edge of the bed, but the side rail gets in the way.

Maybe the side with the ladder, but I have doubts about that being a good idea.

Possible but not safe. Takes some of the overall sturdiness away (we put it on last when we built the bed, and the bed stood stronger/sturdier after adding it). Besides that, I wouldn't let a child on it without the railing.

Hi Rachael: Yes you could leave the legs off. Never thought of it, but I just took a good look and you certainly can. I love these bedside tables and everyone that stays in my guest room loves them as well. Don't hesitate about getting them. Beautiful. diane

Same here. I have a platform bed frame with no side support at all and I have no problem at all. I hope this helps.

I was thinking about this overnight. If you're concerned about a bedside table, it won't fit inside the inner and outer headboard posts. The bed isn't where I am at the moment, but it's the curve of the extension that makes it a problem. That being said, the distance is short enough that when you place a bedside table outside it, there's not a big problem using it. hope that answers your question. If there was a way to send you a photo, it might make it easier to see. It's a beautiful bed, everyone comments on it.

No, the rail does not lift the mattress on any side. Its convenient and when not in use it folds down at the side and is barely visible. Hope my answer helps.

I would think that you could mount them to the side of the bed rail. You would have to screw them in though.

It's possible if you mount it to the rear that there will be interference. I mount mine slightly forward for preference and it's fine. If you don't have room to move it around then the side rails will probably interfere.

The bed is hard. Not extremely firm, there is some give. I think you can only use one side.

No, you do not. However, I would highly suggest finding a different product. This was damaged to me since delivery and it has been falling apart ever since day one. It's made of a cheap plasterboard from China, and won't hold up to any sort of use. Furthermore, it uses these weird rails that run along the bed horizontally instead of the traditional frame support and it is the most uncomfortable thing on this planet. Definitely would NOT recommend!

On our Ikea Sultan mattress, using both sides (even on the largest setting) made the mattress arch up like a rainbow. We detached one railing and pushed his bed side up against the wall and are just using the one railing. I thought I'd have to find something else, but it's working fine this way. Our issue was the round "latches" that allow the sides to fold down for sheet changing. They dug into the bed causing the bed to arch. But by removing the one side, it doesn't arch but still leaves the "hooks" that slide under the bed and around the other side to hold the mattress in place.

The rail comes off! I don't see it being an issues being confined on all sides but I don't want to answer that question for sure.

Depends on the rail I think. Side rails usually have straps that slide under the mattress. Some wrap around the box spring but others have a 'catch' (on the other side of the bed) at the end of the strap. I would think it could be worked out. In fact, I tend to think even the ones that wrap around the box spring could wrap around the platform portion of the bed in the same way

You may not have the tracks attached correctly or the bed square. My first attempt was frustrating until I attached the tracks correctly. If that is not the issue the bed may on an angle.

Yes. You can use this bed rail from either side of the bed. There are nylon straps that attach to the bed rail and mattress for a tight fit. It also doesn't get in the way of the sheets which is nice as well.

Yes the front rail can be removed. A small, mini rail also comes in the box when its time to turn it into a toddler bed.

You can take one side off but it doesn't come with anything to on a small side on to keep kiddos in. The mattress does drop down very low though so even if they fall out they're not falling far

Can you adjust the headboard to make it not so high? I'm looking for a shorter headboard because The bed is in front of a window and I don't want to block it too much. Just want the headboard to show a little above the propped pillows. Thanks!!
