My mom has a platform bed with wood sides (drawers underneath.) Aside from needing to pad the rail to prevent damage to the wood side, will this work?

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.

It should work well if you have a small amount of space between the mattress and wooden sides.

I have a platform bed so I don't use anything under it. I'm sure a traditional box spring would work.

not nessarily. if you have a platform bed frame those work with it. we use our box spring which that works well too. what ever you do make sure it is smooth area for instance a wood or vinyl floor never on carpet of any kind.

I've had two, both trucks were under the rail liners and it worked fine. The cover clamps down on the inner lip of the side bed rails. If you have an over the rail cover, it would depend on how much of the rail lip is covered. You could in theory cut holes for the clamps if the rails were too covered though.

I secured my mother's to the boxspring below her twin mattress...so it depends on the sturdiness and design of the wood platform, I suppose--there is quite a bit strap(s) to work with but I don't know the measurements of your platform. The best I can do is have you compare to a twin size boxspring. The product is very well made, by the way.

The bed doesn't require rails. There is a solid piece of particle board which goes over the drawer area. The only additional item we needed to purchase was a mattress.

I believe the queen size mattress is longer than full size so wooden rail might not work. I tried these and as I recall I couldn't get the headboard to stay vertical head to foot (plumb).

Yes, you can let it "rest" on the bottom of the "lip" of the bed frame side rail because the weight of the box springs and mattress will keep it in place. Just make sure the legs on the bottom are adjusted so they will not push up to much on the support rail(slat). The support rail has about 1 1/2" of surface where it will rest on the bed side board. The wood screws help to keep it from falling down especially if you "jump" into bed or if you are moving the bed without taking it apart and have wood floors.

Might work if you had pieces of wood attached to the edge of the bed. Otherwise would probably slide off.

I would recommend that you place a 1/4" neoprene (rubberized) sheet on the top of the platform bed. This will help to keep the Drive Medical Home Bed Assist Rail and Bed Board combo in a fixed position on the wood base and also protect the surface of the platform. Then your (heavy) mattress would be placed over the bed board combo to hold it down in a selected position. I am pleased with the performance of the Drive Medical Home Assist Rail and Bed Board Combo. Hope my recommendation makes your installation a success.

Yes. My daughter's bed is a platform bed with no boxspring tucked right into the corner of her room. There are straps that go from the rail and they run between the mattress and platform. The straps end with a round metal disc that then rests perpendicular against the other side of the mattress to hold it in place. Works great. We've never had a problem.

From everything I've read, I think a platform bed will be fine. As long as you have good stability underneath. I have just a regular box spring, and it works just fine.

This bed rail is between the mattress and box spring. I would think if the bed frame were solid wood instead of slats it may work. If the mattress sits on bed slats of several pieces of wood, the bed rail could slip. Our use is for a Parkinson's patient who has difficulty arising and his bed is a double. He has been very pleased with this bed rail, it is sturdy, easy to install and has made a wonderful difference for him.

I suppose you could though the platform bed is designed to support just the mattress. I put a memory foam mattress on mine but it set too low. I put a base under it and it fit perfect. I'm certain a box spring would as well.

I use mine with a platform bed, and have had no problems. We simply ensured that the rail's legs were positioned on the slats of the platform bed for complete support. The rail has never shifted once, not even when our son has been pressed tightly against it or when we change the sheets.

Not sure. I don't think so since the rail is secured by a strap to the bed side rail on the opposite side. Hope this helps.

I don't think these will help you with the side rails. Basically these adapters just attach to the queen-sized frame and move the hooks for the headboard and footboard inward so the full size headboard and footboard can attach.
