Hi, I wonder if I can turn this bed and make it a floor bed frame for my baby? I will cut off the legs, will it work? Thank you.

It would not be worth it. The bed is not that high. I would just put the mattress on the floor until your baby is ready for a bed.

Yes, I'm sure it will work. If you look at how the legs are attached, you don't need to cut them - you can simply remove them and reattach later when you want to use it as a regular bed. This is a very well made bed, made with good materials.

I'm confused by your question Wendy- I don't really know what your "foundation inside your bed frame" means, and what your plans for use is? Do you mean using your existing bed frame on top of this Pragma Bed? If so, that should be fine. In fact, it'll make your bed surface a little higher off the ground, if that's what you want.

I wasn't paying attention when my husband was putting it together but you are suppose to be able to use the changing table as a night table when u convert the crib to a toddler bed. I know there are a couple of pieces that I will have to order to convert it to the toddler bed but not sure if I will have to buy any pieces to use for the stand alone night table. And also, I don't know where all the negative comments are coming from with this crib. We love it and it is beautiful and well built. Very sturdy and looks a lot more expensive than what we paid for it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is shopping for a crib.

Yes thats what we did, but my husband had to adjust it because it has a wheel in the bottom that did not allow to go down the bed, he cut it and left it as a semi circle. If your bed is a box spring you will not have this issue.Another person said that between the rail bed and the mattress is a space that can be dangerous for the baby, I fixed that rolling 2 blankets as long pillows and problem solvedThe other issue is that my baby likes to move a lot so I make every single night a pillow barreer so it works as a third bed rail. I will try to send you a picture so you can see it. Its a nice product!

Go to home depot and have them 5 cut 1x4 the width of the bed frame, spread them evenly between the space and then put the mattress back in the bed. The wood slates will support the bed and the problem is solved. The only other option is to buy a set of box springs but that will make the bed to high.it should be cut 5 board the width of the bed, the best board to use are 1x 4's

Jumps in it from one of the tiers. I reconfigured mine, it doesn't look like this photo. You can have the bed on the lower one if you want and put a tier on top.

Oh it requires much more that.....the slats it comes with are very cheap and if yo crack one forget it. I still wouldn't trust the frame supporting anything without reinforcing it with a 3/4" piece of plywood or sheer panel (which I did) cut to the inside dimensions of the bed. Lowes will do this for you gratefully and with a smile on their face. They're the best. If you don't do this you may run the risk of....."Mommy, Daddy !!! I've fallen through and I can't get up" I've had zero problems by doing this. It was a cheap remedy. Also FYI......The paint job is iffy at best.

The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame. I have a thinner older mattress and I don't use a box spring because the head board seemed to short and there was too much mattress showing (for me). It looks now the way I think a platform bed should. PS: The bottom of the frame/rails is only 6" from the floor. I was happy about this because my (at the time) puppy could not get under the bed... But turns out her toys could AND SHE COULDN'T RETRIEVE THEM HERSELF, so I have to keep a hanger in my nightstand that I reach under the bed and slide her toys out from under (the things we do lol) The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame.

You will need slats or an actual bed frame with good strong ledges on sides and a beam through the middle with legs. Otherwise, it can shift and tip, sending you through the bed and onto the floor. I put mine on top of the slats that came with my platform bed (my memory foam mattress was so malleable that we kept popping the slats out, so this fixed that issue). I had originally tried it without the slats, but the ledges on the side weren't wide enough to support it without it shifting.

We are. We have a low profile box springs and the bed is very tall. I don't think it would work well with a regular height box springs unless you cut the legs and made them shorter. But then, you would loose your underbed storage, so I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a standard metal bed frame then.

not really, only if you want the legs on. We opted to use it without the legs as it fit at the end of my daughter's bed that way. If you want to add the legs, you just screw them in. the unit is fully assembled otherwise. good luck.

I wondered the same thing so, I called Dream on Me , so I could before purchasing and they said that the "conversion kit" would just be any standard bed frame, which you could get from any store, but what I did find interesting was that you would need to buy the seperate leg post if you want to detach the changing table and use it seperate.... and you can buy that on the bottom of the webpage where they say "to complete the set".

I guess, one could tie the two frames together somehow, but there is no dedicated way to turn two of these into a king size bed. If you have a hardwood floor, you need some means to keep the beds from skidding. We had to put rubber foam under the legs or the bed would slide around.

This bed frame is fairly heavy, i have an area rug on a hardwood floor, and i find that i need to ask for help becaus eof how heavy it is and how it likes to fight with the area rug.. if your floor is hardwood and you have slider things under all of the legs it should be easy, or if you have a rug.

The mattress isn't attached to the frame, if that answers your question. Besides taking the mattress off and putting it on the floor, is there a reason to "turn [the legs] flat"?
1486654
Yes. There's three boards that go across the frame (the mattress sits on)and two legs that hold it off the ground. The legs are not very sturdy. I moved my bed and the legs broke. I ended up taking the boards and legs out from under the mattress and now the mattress just sits on the floor with the frame around it.

I don't think so. It's meant to be put together to form a bassinet the way it was made. I suggest you use a pack and play if you are looking for something ground level.
