Does this work with a platform bed
752639
the platform bed I need this for has a lip and I don't think the disc would be able to lay flat on the other side, any suggestions on others like this that WOULD work??

It's possible since the straps go all the way across to the other side. There is also a metal disc that would go between the box spring and mattress so that it can anchor flat against them to avoid sliding out. As long ad you can place this metal disc flat against the outside of the platform and mattress you should be fine. Only thing is you might want to put a small hand towel around he disc so it wouldn't scratch or ruin the wood platform. Hope that helps!!!

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.

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 use your old platform. However, for best results I think a solid platform may be best. We had ours on the floor for a few nights, while we waited for our new bed frame to be delivered. Durring that time we felt the matress was a touch on the firm side.

Hi, I'm not really sure what a platform bed is. There are two bolt holes on each leg that could be attached to another board with holes lined up . May have to use longer bolts if bed board is thick. It is a really nice looking headboard. Connie

I should add that we are currently using it with a platform bed that does not have a box spring and it's fine.

The platform bed doesn't come with a mattress it is just the platform frame. If you want a mattress and box springs this isn't the way to go . Hioenthis helps.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

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

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.

Yes it is well suited for a platform bed. In Europe the ideal choice for a latex mattress is the platform bed.

One of the folds faces up and one down. The one that faces up can be felt some. I usually have it closer to my feet. You should be able to use it on a platform bed frame, however, I have not tried that myself. I only used it on the floor. Thanks.

If you have a platform bed I would say no. We use it on my sons bed & it's a platform. It is still in great shape & I've slept on it with him & it's comfortable.

No you don't, I just converted my old bed frame(wooden) into a platform bed. It just needs to be flat and solid. I think they sell some already made on here I think they are called mattress foundations that fit in your bed frame. Hope this helps and would be happy to answer anything else if I can.

I bought this for my daughter and she has a queen sleep number bed. It fits nicely on her platform bed, it won't hang down much on a normal bed with box springs. I doubt it would cover the box springs at all.

I don't think it would work well for this platform bed. Nice frame for the price.

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 bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!
