Can I attach this to a platform bed frame?

I have it attached to a regular metal bed frame. You would have to bolt it to a platform, but it looks like it could be done.

No. This bed has regular side rails and 3 cross slats. It is not a platform bed.

I don't know. There are holes for screws in the bottom of the posts that I used to attach to a frame. If there is a place to screw it in then yes

Yes, I bought a platform bed to go with it. It worked out very good I'm glad I went with the platform bed, I have never had a platform bed before but I am glad I decided to use the platform instead of a box spring.

yes you can! Which is also helpful if you have a platform bed (no space underneath)

I bought this for my mother, who does not have a platform bed, and until we had it secured to the frame it was not steady. That being said, if the base of the bed is wood, you could set screws or bolts down through the base of the bed cane (which is wooden) and into the platform. Without knowing your specific bed or your access and ability with drills and such, it's impossible to say. For my mother it was not secure until that strap was attached and tightened.This was a great addition to the bed for my mother. She loves it.

Yes. My husband attached our current headboard and footboard to this. We decided to use only the mattress with this frame because it was too high up with the box spring but you can try.

yes, it is a platform style bed frame, so you can just put the mattress right on the frame. My daughter liked the bed higher though, so we put both the box and mattress on the frame.

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.

The metal is fairly thick, so if you were to attach it in enough places, I don't think that you would need the legs that it comes with. Essentially, if I am to understand what you plan to do. I guess what I would be concerned with would be the weight and activity in the bed. Is it for a child or an adult or two adults? This would be a matter of using your best judgement. The frame metal is your standard frame metal, so if you think that will work for you, this will too. Hope this helps. (Hard to know without too much information)

No. You would need something with a solid platform in order to bypass a box spring. A bed 'frame' is not a platform.

No because the frame has the motor and everything that operates your bed attached to it. I'm assuming you're talking about a bed where the mattress just sits down on it. If that is the case, it won't work. I believe that the legs are attached and there are extenders to make the bed taller if you want it to be higher. This bed is extremely heavy and I don't think I would want to put it on a platform.

Yes, you can attach a headboard to this frame using the Smartbase headboard and footboard brackets.

Yes, I'm using it on a platform bed without a box spring, and it works great!

That would depend on the width and depth of the space between the headboard & footboard, and from side to side. Get those measurements and compare them to the measurements provided in the product description. If you have an existing frame with rails, you may want to consider adding extra slats between the rails to support a foam mattress (if that's your intent) which would eliminate the need for the metal platform.

Yes you can. I have just a straight platform under it on my son's bed. Works great

You have to use a boxspring with this bed. However I hacked it by going to Home Depot and buying planks that I could lay down in order to turn it into a platform bed.
