Would this rail work with a 5 inch foam mattress?

I don't think so. I have a firm 10" mattress and a little lip in my bed that holds it pretty tightly. I fear the foam Will be too soft to hold it in place

Probably not unless you had something heavier like a plank of wood to brace it down. Here is why: The side guard is anchored down to the bed by using the weight of the mattress against two(2) L-shaped metal rods. Now if you put a sheet of wood between the foam and mattress or put the bars under the mattress it would be ok. We have both standard and deep mattresses (18") and this is the highest quality bed rail we found so far that fits both. I hope this helps you.

I don't see why not. A mattress is a mattress. My granddaughters bed has a regular innerspring mattress and it works fine. Sometimes she sleeps with her mom, who has a foam mattress and the bed rail works perfectly there too.

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.

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.

This would fit but it won't be snug. I have a four inch rail and it fits perfectly. Hope this is helpful. Jeanne

Assist Rail has a section about 4 feet long that goes between mattress and box springs (provides very good stability to rail). Two straps go under box springs, up the other side of bed and attaches to 4 foot section under mattress for stability. Should fit virtually any size bed. We used on a queen size, had extra room on straps.

If the slats are resting on a "lip" of the rail (frame) then yes this would work.

These rails are designed to work with the 6.5' beds with a toolbox, as long as it is a fleetside (not stepside) bed.Thanks!Got-Chrome888.552.4766www.got-chrome.com

If this bed rail were used on an adjustable bed, it would have to be placed away from the joint & under the mattress.There is a bar that slides under the mattress.

I have only used it in a twin bed, but the rails seem high enough that if your king size bed has a really thick mattress it should work.

Only if you use a piece of plywood or something to cover the bars. The foam mattress will sink into them otherwise. What you need to make it work is very low cost and easily found at a Lowe's or Home Depot.

As long as the main (wider) end can get under the mattress while the smaller (narrow handle-like) end can get through the rails you should be fine.

The mattress thickness won't make any difference - it will just stand up a little higher, but it should work fine. The biggest issue is being able to secure it to the "frame" of the bed. We ran the straps around the box springs, under the mattress, but you would need to run them around the upper bed frame, since it's just a thin mattress I'm assuming, and no box springs. Depending on the bed and where you want to put the rail, it could be done. It's quite easy to install.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

If you mean rails that go across underneath the mattress, then yes. If you mean a guard rail that keeps kids from falling out of bed, then no.

Yes. It will go between the mattress and the platform. It really is the best bed rail we've found.

Hard to answer. If the distance between the bed and the frame is longer than the adapter (for example if the bed has posts it may not work). If the frame has a place to bolt the adapter through and it requires a hook on rail it will probably work. Hope that helps.

Hi Ernas, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Home Bed Style Adjustable Length Bed Rails. These bed rails should have no problem fitting on your extra deep mattress since the bars go between the bed and box spring.

I use mine on a hospital bed frame but I don't have any bed rails, so it may not fit if there are bed rails since the mattress is about 3-4 inches wider than the frame.
