Would this work ok for a slatted metal bunk bed? Looking for something for the top bunk.

We recently purchased this unit and are using it in conjunction with a Captain's bed that has wooden slats supporting the mattress.

Should work fine. We did not like this product as it does not fold down to change sheets. Might be preferable on a bunk.

You need a solid surface under the mattress for the way it attaches otherwise the straps will fall through.

The best choice would be a bunk board. That's what mines on. Even if the wood slats are very close together, there still is space and that's not too good for a memory foam mattress (especially one that's 10 inches thick).

It should work fine, the legs are adjustable and it also comes with height extensions that I did not need with my four post bed. It will work with a metal frame, you will just have to drill and bolt it if you want it attached. Either way, it shouldn't move with the mattress on it, attached or not.

Short answer: No. The bunk bed (at least ours) is not designed for a left sided ladder mount. With some rigging, the ladder could be probably be placed on the left hand side of the bed, but the real problem is that the side rails on the top bunk cannot be attached to the right side of the bed, so you would climb the ladder and have to climb over the rail. And, you would still have the intended opening for the ladder on the right side of the top bunk.

Hi Helen, Yes, this will work for you, as long as it is a solid base. If you do have a slatted bed frame it may not work, depending on the width of the gaps in the slats. We do have a 30 day return period if you find it does not fit your needs. Thank you for your interest-KathyeLuxurySupply Customer Service

IT's not quite long enough to reach the floor for a regular bunk bed. And of course, if your regular bunk is metal framed, you'll have problems attaching it. I agree with Jo, if you have a staple gun and your bunk is wooden, fixing the curtains with the staples is a bit more sturdy.

I have a twin and full. The full has a solid base (bunk frame) and the twin has around 8 slats across the bottom. You will need some sort of support. Even plywood with supports would probably suffice.

I think it would work fine, if the slats run the width of the bed and not the length.

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

We used a bunky board at one time, and also just wood slats (make sure there are enough) and it worked just fine. Excellent mattress, but it's KEY to rotate it.

if the wood slats are close together (max 4" apart) i'd say it would work. If it doesn't, you could easily fix that by placing 1/2" sheet of plywood over the slats.

I use these on my daughters bunk bed and they just have wood slats and they work great! My daughters are both around 40lbs. but even if I lay on the bottom bunk to read a book or something it feels totally fine.

I installed this on a 40 year old bed that had metal side rails. I used self-tapping screws. If you are handy, a metal frame should not be a problem. If not, you will need help.

Possibly. We have ours on the ceiling above a loft bed. But I think it might work under the top bunk. Not 100% sure though.

This bed is for children. I replaced the thin wooden slats with 1 by 4 lumber, and placed a sheet of 3/8 inch plywood over the slats. The slats are secured into the side rails with screws so they will not slip out of place. A person of over 100 pounds should occupy the lower bunk.

We have ours over a piece of plywood which works well but i think wooden slats would be just fine if, as one of the reviewers said, they are fairly close together.

Hmmm, my guess is it would be fine, it's a sturdy bed with metal frame and I think the thickness would look fine. Good luck!
