Can two be purchased and used on each side of the same bed? I read a review for a different single bed rail that said the manufacturer stated that putting two on the same bed would be a strangulation hazard. Has anyone used two of this particular bed...

Yes, but one may need to be more towards on end of the bed more than the other so that the two poles that go under the mattress don't hit the ones on the other side. Please note that this product will only work with a mattress AND box spring.

I think it would work ok that way you just wouldn't be able to use the step but then again why would you need them. I think both beds are pretty sturdy. Before I bought these beds I researched for almost six mouths I think these are the best beds for the price I paid.

Agree that for a tight fit you shouldn't need them. In our case we actually had some room on either side - our mattress width was a bit smaller than the rail width when installed on older headboard/footboard. So I made up slats and also made small wooden spacer shims to drop in along either side to keep the mattress "centered" between the rails. Good luck.

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.

Chandramohan , I built my own frame out of 2x6 . The box springs and mattress rest on top . I also screwed the frame ( head board, foot board and both side rails ) together because they kept coming apart . Now it is one solid frame. After a lot of doing this and doing that , it is finally the way I believe it should be. If I had to do this over again I would probably just buy a bed from some place like Rooms to Go and let the store employees deliver and put the whole thing together and leave all the work out of it for me.

They can be used separately; however, the top portion will look as it does in the photo.small/short headboard and railing.

I have used them and they work perfectly with numerous holes for different beds. They come in pairs, which I did not know, so I have 2 extra ones. Listener@aol.com

Yes. You can easily separate them and put them back together. I personally used only one in most occasions. But if you want to use this as a permanent bedding, I would suggest you better go for a regular mattress as there is no match of comfort between the two.

2 part answer: 1) is it possible to put them side-by-side? Maybe. Although there's a slight angle to the corners, and they might not meet perfectly. 2) SHOULD you put them side by side? In my opinion, no. There's nothing to bind them together and make them safely into 1 piece. Personally, I wouldn't do it. And if you're using it for stepping exercise, I don't think you would need it bigger. Again, IMHO. Bottom line: as an ex Phys. Ed. Teacher, I think putting 2 together without rigging something substantial to hold them together would present a safety issue. And the latter would possibly void any warranty.

If you want one on each side yes. We purchased 1 and used that on a trip or two and then liked it so much went ahead and purchased one for the other side.

These rails should fit a standard length queen bed just fine. I use mine on a twin bed and have several inches of rail length left, so I could use them on a longer bed, if I chose to.

No, you do not. However, I would highly suggest finding a different product. This was damaged to me since delivery and it has been falling apart ever since day one. It's made of a cheap plasterboard from China, and won't hold up to any sort of use. Furthermore, it uses these weird rails that run along the bed horizontally instead of the traditional frame support and it is the most uncomfortable thing on this planet. Definitely would NOT recommend!

yes, it comes with 2 rails, so no need to buy anything else. Regarding the box spring question, you do not have to have a box spring, BUT you do need a flat hard surface. I don't think the wood planks are enough. Maybe you could put a piece of wood in place of the planks in the area of the rails. I have not tried this, because I have a box spring, but from looking at how they work, it would be my opinion and I would try that. If it doesn't work, then you would have to return them and look for something more compatible with your bed.

Sorry, but I don't have an adjustable bed, so I don't know for sure. However, if you put both up at the same height then it should not be a problem.

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.

There are positions you can screw a headboard on either side, I chose not to do this with my Daughter's bed (we bought the matching headboard) in case she wants to change the side the headboard is on. The matching headboard is pretty sturdy otherwise when placed against a wall.

Rachel we still used the bed slats just as an extra form of protection/ to reinforce the box spring. I would GUESS you don't need the slats... I'm guessing you're saying the box spring fits perfectly in the rails, in which ours does, but i'm old school" we used the slats as well. IF someone heavy sits on the bed the slats take on the pressure of the extra weight. Hope this helps
