I'd like to order, but am concerned about mattress size...do I need to be? My son's bed is twin and standard issue with short boxspirng. The mattress however, is deep. Will this bed rail still work? Thanks.

It should. I have ours on a king mattress and has plenty of height above mattress top.

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

I have no experience with that type of mattress. This is what I know. There is a strap that goes from the rail and under the mattress to the other side of the mattress, with a large plastic button on the far side. The strap must be pulled quite tight to keep the button and the rail snug.

It does fit a regular twin size mattress...though, the deeper the matresses, the lower the rails seem. We just pulled a matress off a twin bed we had in storage & it worked out fine! Hope this helps!

We bought a standard twin mattress. It was 8 inches thick. The total depth of top bunk from bottom to top of safety rail is 15 1/2 inches. Our 7 year old has had no issues. This is a very nice bunk bed.

I have a cal king that fits, there is still room on the sides to fit a wider mattress...If they even make wider mattresses. Yes you need a box spring. I love this bed! I put it together by myself...but it really takes two ppl...I just couldn't wait to get it up :) get compliments on it all the time!

Probably. Are there any railings at all? They do slide out a little from out twin bed but I haven't had them push all the way out. I could probably tighten them up a little under the mattress. The problem is the doubles are really designed to fit a bigger bed (double or queen). But if you have any railing at all up there that would hold them in place and they would work great. Also better than nothing. I'm just a little skeptical because if it did push out, that's a long drop. I have one side up against the wall which helps to keep them in place. There is a strap connecting the two sides together. It just is a little loose for the twin. You could probably shorten the strap and they would work fine. OK, I hope this helped. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try and help.

I think it would work well for a twin bed. It is not really wide but is very sturdy. It does not slide at all and holds in place well. There is a bar that goes under the mattress which is long enough to keep the rail from moving. I have it positioned near where my chest would be when I sleep. I do have to slide up slightly after I sit down on the bed to be in the correct position. Hope this helped.

A twin mattress that is 6 inches in height is ideal, but an 8 inch mattress will work too. There will be only about 2 inches of clearance of the rail with an 8 inch though.

Hi Minnie, I wonder if you find out (or purchased) the bed frame to convert this crib to a full size bed?... I have the same situation right now, my daughter is excited about getting a bigger bed and I would like to use this crib since I like the design a lot! I searched on Graco's website to find a compatible part that fits the crib (don't take any chance), and found it but haven't ordered it yet. Could you please, tell me if you were able to find the part, and provide more details about it? I wish the specif. would include this as well :(Many thanks in advanced!Yiliam.

We didn't get the daybed with the trundle, only the daybed. We had a single-sided twin bunk mattress we used for the daybed. But if we had the trundle, I would recommend getting one of the 8" twin foam mattresses they sell at Costco and other places. It's low profile but a great mattress. It's actually what we did for our bunks so the railing seemed 'taller.'

I put this in my RV and I love it. But it's a short mattress I don't know how well it would work over a normal length box spring. That could be a problem.

The bed in my opinion is perfect. you CAN NOT use it with a box spring otherwise you will be way way too high. the bed rail on the side to the top of the rail is about 18 to 24 inches. but the mattress sits down a few inches below that. it really is the perfect height. I am about 5 foot 11 inches and my gf is shorter and we both love it. the lights and everything are great. The ONLY prob we found but we realize it is because we have a small room. watch your knees on the end of the bed. if you have a room like in the picture your fine. but if you are at all cramped for space with the bed in there it will hurt .

The deepest depth of mattress should be 5 1/2" to 6". Other wise it is to high on guard rail. Would be dangerous!

Hi Tish, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Deluxe Full Length Hospital Bed Side Rails. These bed rails will not work with a regular sized twin bed. The Drive Medical 16500BV would be the rails you'd be looking for. Below is a link to the bed rails on Amazon.Link to Amazon: Drive Medical Home Bed Style Adjustable Length Bed Rails, Brown Vein

Amazon had the rail for this crib, but it's been out of stock. I just added it to my wish and list and checked every day until it was in stock. Then I bought it.

A regular twin is too small. We used 2 twins awaiting our new mattresses and they are definitely were like a foot short. A king = 2 twin xl...
