We are thinking about putting the mattress on the floor with these side rails, will that work?

I would say yes since it doesn't hook to anything besides the mattress by tension from the straps.

Possibly if the mattress is not too thin if it's a thick mattress definitely. My hesitation in thin mattress would be the polls poking through or not being waited down enough

I placed the box spring and mattress on the floor. The rails were between the box spring and mattress. Works just fine. Imagine doing the same without the box spring might work and may depend on your flooring and whether the mattress would slip, or not. These rails are awesome.

I would think so. The straps fit between the mattress and box spring so I suppose the floor would serve the same purpose. The side would flatten on the floor though instead of resting next to the side of a traditional bed.

I have wheels on my bed rails and it don't move at all. I think it would work just fine. Hope this helps

I didn't pre-drill but I did screw the rails into the frame. The reason being, the only thing holding the rails in place would be the weight of the bed. They would eventually move around on you and wouldn't support the mattress properly as intended.

No, there are no side rails. There are some mattress retainer parts that keep the mattress from sliding off the edges of the frame, and of course, a larger retainer at the base to keep the mattress from sliding off.

I would think it would be fine. The bottom long rail goes under the mattress above the box spring. It works wonders for me as I have a high plantation bstyle bed I need a stepstool to get in it . The bed rail is such a help.

Probably not unless you had something heavier like a plank of wood to brace it down. Here is why: The side guard is anchored down to the bed by using the weight of the mattress against two(2) L-shaped metal rods. Now if you put a sheet of wood between the foam and mattress or put the bars under the mattress it would be ok. We have both standard and deep mattresses (18") and this is the highest quality bed rail we found so far that fits both. I hope this helps you.

I did not try using the mattress on the floor so I really don't know for sure. I used the Signature Sleep mattress with the bed frame that I already had.

No, not for using like that. They would compress too much to be useful for that I think. They work ok as bed rails but they're not so firm as the actually elevate the mattress significantly.

I really don't think this would work in this situation. I only used them for full to queen and another set for queen to full. I think this conversion will only work with steel side rails.

Yes, but it would be a very low to the floor bed. They provide a firm support for whatever foundation you put over them. You'll need to drill holes into the metal frame to attach them if it doesn't already have them.

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.

Yes, make sure it it secured perfectly at the sides, I have even worked with it seated on the floor.

No because the weight of the cushions would not be enough to hold the rail securely in place. It's just fabric straps that go underneath the mattress with a little hook on the end to hook it under the mattress to keep it in place.

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.

I looked into doing the same thing but it is not suggested because of the weight restrictions and the added height it would create. Because one side lowers to be used for access during the night increasing the mattress height leaves room for injury.

It would work best if you have something to hook the strap to under the mattress on the opposite side of the bed rail. Otherwise I don't think it will stay upright.
1389870
Yes. It is held in place by the weight of the mattress, so unless the mattress is extremely thin and extremely light, I think it would work fine.
