How does this rail system secure to the box spring and/or mattress?

If you look closely at the picture you can see the bars that come out from the rail. They go under the mattress portion of bed between mattress and box spring, platform, or whatever. and come up on opposite side of bed. The weight of the mattress holds it in place. We have a memory foam mattress on top of a wooden slatted platform; it's a little tricky lining it up on the slats just right, but once done, it has stayed solidly in place.

If you have a mattress with box spring, then you're all set. What's deceiving about the pic is the support rails along the side. That is not included.

The rails seem to work fine. No wobblying. My bed was so low that I couldn't use the crossbrace with the feet so we just put a board between the rails to support the center of the box spring.

There are metal springs with metal hooks attached to the entire metal tubular framework and canvas "sheet" that forms the base of the bed on which the mattress sits. One end of the spring is attached to the frame and the other end to the canvas.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

The rectangle "rail" box mounts "level" onto the wall. The two vertical parts mount to the TV. By lifting the TV angling it outward from the bottom, The top of the vertical arms clips over the "rail" and when the lower half of the TV is rotated toward the wall spring loaded "clips" snap lock the arms to the bottom of the rail. two plastic tabs hang behind the TV as the "clip release" to allow the TV to be accessed / serviced. This is a tight to the wall mount, very sweet !

We recieved this about a week ago. It is very solid! We needed it for husband to use pulling himself up and manuvering out of the bed. It holds snug. One of the great points attributing to this is the adjustable hieght rail (a big u shaped bar) that goes 3/4 across the queen size bed, under the matress, and on top of the box spring. The height of the bar that goes between the mattress is also adjustable for height. Our mattress is lower because of a 9 or 10 inch box spring and then an 11 inch foam mattress. Our handrail goes between the mattress and box spring at 20 inches from the floor. It could have gone higher because the bottom of the legs and handle can both be adjusted.

It basically has prongs on the ends that connect each end to each rail. It was very simple to do. Adjusting the center 'leg' and guessing the height was more trial and error. Compensating for carpet thickness and compression with people on the bed. I can say the center support was the perfect fix for what I incorrectly thought was a bad mattress.

I have mine attached to a metal frame that holds our low profile box spring.

The rail has two long poles attached (approx 3') that slide underneath the mattress of any size bed. Also included are a pair of straps to secure the rail on the opposite side, in case the weight of the mattress isn't enough to keep it from moving.

We do not use a box spring. My son has a trundle bed and neither mattress has one. My husband and I both have to take turns sleeping in there with my son right now and nobody has a complaint about the mattress. Very happy with purchase.

It has a lip which should rest on the edge of the bed and mounting points on the bottom to use with the supplied straps to secure it to a hitch or bumper. I use my own personal cargo straps instead though.

There are no straps. The legs (3) tuck between the mattress and box spring and the pressure of the person in the bed as well as the mattress holds the side rails in place.

It's basically like a top sheet with a ruffled edge. It goes in between the mattress and box springs. It's very easy to install and it looks great. It helps to have 2 people to put the mattress back in place and not need to slide it much.

It's made with three pieces all you head rail foot rail n base.no box spring needed you just put your mattress right on top.i love it.

As long as there is a hard surface between the mattress and the platform, the rail can be used. Ours is supported by the mattress and box springs as well as the weight of the user.

Yes. It works just like a regular rail, except it also "tightens" down to the top of the mattress. My 2 year old can sleep right up against it and it never moves or shifts at all. It would be impossible for him to shift it or roll between the rail and the mattress. We used ours on a daybed which like a convertible crib, does not have a box spring.
