I don't have a poster bed, just a regular full. How is this used without a poster bed?

You can just hang it from a ceiling hook. It has supports built in to keep its shape above the bed.

I believe it comes as free standing frame that goes over the bed. It was a gift so I did not see it assembled yet

We had that same situation with my daughter's bed. There is a loop at the top of the canopy that you can hang from a hook in the ceiling and then it just hangs down. I don't remember whether it came with a hook or not, but you can get one at Home Depot for $5 or so. They're very easy to install. It has been up for close to a year now and we haven't had any issues.

depends on your bed frame. if it is a platform bed frame like I have you do not need it.

I used a standard twin sheet because that is the size of the air bed. Note that I used a foam topper so I just tucked the sheet under that and even tho there was a lot of sheet to tuck in, it works fine!

Hi Patricia! We bought this for my daughter and she doesn't even have a head or footboard! We just used a regular bed frame to put it on and it worked great! she LOVES this bed!

You still need a box spring. This provides better support for a full size and larger bed so the box spring will not sag.

It's a really good item to put up by yourself. Also, make sure you have the middle post on the cross bars for the bed. They should come with two little post. I love my bed and it's a good investment.

I used the box spring already on my bed. I would not recommend using no box spring at all.

I put a bunkie-board on the slats and a standard inexpensive twin on top of the bunkie-board. I covered it with a bedspread and put three inexpensive queen pillows with sham covers that match the bedspread across the back. I also put on a tailored bed skirt so I could use the space under the bed for storage, and tucked in the bedspread on the front and ends of the bed. It looks great and everyone who has slept on it says it is extremely comfortable. Hope that helps.

You don't need anything. The board is wide enough to fit right on the side rails. If you want extra support, since you only have side rails, add 3 or 4 wooden planks eventually spaced down first, then the board. That's what I had to do on one bed and it works great. Hope this answers your question and concern.

We haven't yet, and find this is a problem given the bed we are using, which has no slat close enough to the bottom of the mattress to allow us to tuck in the top sheet. The bed's already pretty high, so we're thinking bunkie boards. It's perfectly comfortable without a box spring.

You need to buy the cover for it. It does not come with mattress and it is always nice to have. Make sure you buy cover for sleeper sofa mattress. Not for regular bed.

I have a queen, four poster bed. On the whole, I would say that the bed fits inside my existing frame. The bed, itself, is freestanding and the legs are far enough under the frame that you don't really notice that the metal legs that hold the bed aren't that visible. Ours is on carpet and does slide a tiny bit over the course of a few months. What I mean to say is that you may want to remember to periodically check your bed to make sure it's sitting inside your original frame squarely and not putting pressure on your original bed frame.

Agreed must have a frame wether wood or soft sided a pedestal so bed is not on the floor. If you chose not to put a heater on then its like sleeping on a bed of ice cold water. Waterbed sheets are easier then "normal" mattress unless you want to have a size larger ie king for queen bed. A hose to fill and the chemicals that go inside to keep the plastic soft, yes I have had one crack while sleeping. The other attachments make life easier for filling. A pump makes emptying the bed easier, can be rented for 10-15 bucks a day from rental companies. If you choose a free-flow be expected to be tossed around every time your partner leaves the bed. A fiber fill reduces the movement depending on how much fiber is in it. Soft sided are nice can use normal sheets and isuch more like a typical bed

You can use it by sliding it in from either side. Slide it under the right side and if you want it on the left side just pull it out from the bed and then roll it to the left side and slide it under.

You can use a regular mattress and a box spring is not needed. Your bed will sit at pretty much the same height it would with a standard frame and box spring. The storage space underneath is great.

We hauled ours in a regular bed pick up truck. There are a lot of trucks out there without standard beds. So I guess bottom line is that it depends on what size bed you have on your truck.

It depends on the bed. If it is a low profile bed, you need a box spring. I use my matress without a box spring for a month without problems. Then I bought a bed and use it with a box spring and love it.
