Bed frame has locked castors but they slide on my hardwood floor. If I put these grippers under the castors, what's preventing them from sliding?

I have hardwood floors too and the bed doesn't slide with these castors. I don't know how the grippers work, but they do.

Our son's guest room has a queen-sized bed on a hardwood floor; mattress and box springs with no headboard; sitting on a cheap metal frame; with caster wheels on the four corners. Every time I sat up, the bed would slide away from the wall. We bought these and it totally solved the problem, even though I am quite overweight. I was able to sit up in bed, leaning on pillows against the wall.

Absolutely! I use them on my bed with locking castors. It doesn't move at all. They work great!!!

They stay in place when you put them on - they do not move - they are great. I too have laminate flooring and I can't budge the bed any more. No more slamming into the wall with the frame. The price is right and they work wonderfully.

The light colored rings are made of soft grippy material that does not slide.

the weight of the bed presses down on the castors, which have a rubber ring around the floor side. The weight of the bed and the increased friction of the rubber ring prevent the bed from moving. It's proven very effective on the two beds we use it on. I am so happy to have found this solution.

exactly the same issue I had and I tried a few different things before finding these. there is a rubber circle on the bottom of the slipstick cup and with just the weight of the bed on it, it sticks like glue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My opinion is that these are best used to sit items in that you do not want to cause indentations in your carpet. The slider is all hard plastic so trying to move your item causes the item to slip out of the slider...and then you have to pick it up to move it.

Just lay the 2 tracks down under the matress on tip of the center bar and side rails built into the bedframe. It keeps the matress from caving in.

We replaced all the castors with some really nice nylon ones that don't scratch our wood floor. They are also have a lot smoother operation. We purchased them from Rockler Woodworking (Rockler.com). You just have to make sure of the size and type of the posts that go into the chair. Don't remember how much they were, but not much.

We also have some hardwood, and neither of our dogs have ever had any issues with traction or sliding. It really is a great product. Hope this is helpful & happy walking!Maybe Joe is applying too much if he's experiencing slippage, not positive, just a thought.

Hello, I purchased this item and have the same slipping problem. I have to purchase Velcro also. I've decided that a strip of Velcro across the end of the flap that goes under the mattress, then another strip that will go across the back of the organizer at the seam where the box part will hang down the side of the bed.I'm going to place the Velcro on the flat of the box spring so it will have a stronger hold. I think it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for this job. I pinned the organizer in this manner, and I think it's the best option, I hope this helps you Tana

there is a black, plastic (?) ring around the bottom that seems to prevent unintentional sliding. i'm not sure about it being protective, but i've had them for six months and they haven't scratched the wood floors

The only way I can think of to lock them in to prevent theft of the grippers themselves would be to run some round-stock (metal bar) through the hole in the tightening handles and drill holes for locks on each end of the bar. That would prevent a thief from being able to unscrew them once they are tightened.

No, they do not lock. However, I've not experienced slippage or collapse. As best as I can describe it, the legs "scissors." One end of the "scissors" is attached securely to the bottom of the shelf. The other side of the "scissors" is ~1" [finished] dowel rod. This dowel rod slides left--&gt;right (or maybe right--&gt;left depending on your perspective). There are two 1"x2" blocks attached to the underside of the table, and then attached to the two blocks is a strip/slat made of what appears to be standard military/industrial grade Aluminum (~97% Al with some magnesium and chromium for tensile strength). This strip/slat about 1/2" in width by 1/8" in thickness. The dowel rod for the "scissors" travels from block-to-block secured by the metal slat. It is possible to pick up the table and move ir, while simultaneously having your fingers on the dowel to ensure that the legs do not collapse while moving, or when you rest the table again on the floor (or other hard surface). I've never had a problem with it.

They should work fine. I'm assuming the casters lock or else the bed might tend to roll. These are a bit slippery inside and bumped furniture moves easier than when on carpet. This style is stronger than others and more likely to hold up to the concentrated weight of a caster.

If a drawer under mattress section is hard to open, your bed has not been set to square.I had 2 balky drawers & by adjusting frame, they all now glide easily.

I haven't used the lumbermaker that much but I noticed that I had to tighten the bracket that attaches to the bar very evenly between the two screws. Too much force from one screw would loosen the other and then when I tighten the loose screw the other one would loosen because the bracket was spreading. If this is what you are reffering to I can see where the bracket would eventually become "sprung way out". Other than trying to control how much I tighten the screws I dont know what to do about it. Have you talked to Haddon? Good luck. Tom L.

The pads will keep the bar from slipping - to a point. They will slide with enough pressure. I have them on the legs of a table. My 11 year old grandson still manages to slide the table.

No, the casters don't lock. I got rid of our after the first day (see my negative review) because it was very unsafe on our hardwood floor.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

My experience is that the cups need to be removed in order to move the bed, because they prevent sliding or rolling. They work well - really keep it in place on my wood laminate floor.

The beds have a metal bar at the bottom by the feet which keeps them from sliding down. However, if you don't have a bed frame you cannot keep the mattress' together and that is a nightmare to deal with. We do not use a bed skirt because we have a bed frame that covers the sides of the beds.
