Would it work to buy the full size frame for use w/ a twin mattress and use the extra space (slats) like a "shelf" for books, coffee cup, laptop, etc?

Are you talking about using placing a single mattress on the bed then either a board or bookcase across the remaining space? You should be able to do that. The frame is sturdy enough. Slats aren't that wide to use without something across them. Also, remember the bed isn't that high off the floor. You could put a full-size mattress on the bed and use a bookcase as a headboard either at the top or side. Look-up "book-case daybed" for a better idea of what I'm talking about. For what it's worth, I've bought two of these and both of my kids have enjoyed this piece of furniture.

I don't think this frame would work for what you are describing. You don't need a bed frame in addition to this item. The unit acts as frame and box spring. Just throw the mattress on the top.

No. A traditional twin mattress fits perfectly. Anything larger will not fit into the frame

Yes, you sure can. I just tested it for you! I love mine in front of my bed, I put extra linens and a blanket in there. I did buy a smaller ottoman at Ross Dress for less to store my dvd's in.

I believe that you could use both a box spring and mattress with this bed frame if you wanted too. It would make the bed much higher though and the only consideration would be that the frame could support the weight. This type of bed is usually made for just a mattress which avoids the need for a box spring because of the supporting slats on the frame which is what I was looking for. With a good firm mattress like we have it is just as supportive as one with a box spring and we don't have the extra cost for one like we would have with the standard bed. I find that with just the mattress it is easier to make up the bed and turn the mattress occasional as it is suggested. I love this bed frame.........it is also high enough to store items under it in storage bags or they even make bed "drawers" that slide under the frame.

They do make almost the exact same loft for a twin. I would either recommend getting that or getting full sized mattress.

I have an 8 inch full size futon mattress on the frame. It fits well. Concerning the weight, I would defer to the manufacturer. The mattress is supported with wood slats.

No however we bought the tv stand and use it for our printer and other storage ie baskets, binders, etc. the TV stand would not be good for "regular" sized books.

You might need to add a few more slats but it will work. We have a twin bed that has slats about 4 inches apart and it works fine.

Personally, I'd say no because it seems to be much sturdier with all of the columns attached. Before responding to this, I removed a column to verify if it would work -- and it will, BUT it feels much flimsier. Hope this helps!

I think there would be too much space around the mattress. The queen mattress fits perfectly in the frame.

The frame would work good for either thicknessbut would ffold better with the six inch. A full size mattress fits exactly to the edges

Yes. However, this frame is terrible. It really doesn't matter what kind of mattress you use with it.

absolutely. that is why i got it. I wanted something that i did not need a boxspring and the bed would still be normal height. And I wanted something that was not expensive. This is perfect. Room for storage underneath.

I actually purchased the frame for a full mattress and it looks great. The full mattress is centered in the frame and once you place the night table on the sides you don't even notice that the frame is a bit larger on the sides.

Yes. There are mattress frames that remove the need for a box frame that work great.

I don't think so... I think it would take up too much space. I wouldn't use with anything smaller than a twin mattres.
