Will this fit onto a non-platform bed? Meaning with a box spring in a standard, wood queen bed frame?

It should, since it's foam you should be able to push it down in case the frame is a tad small. Hope that helps.

Yes, I have a twin sized one, and it fits perfectly into a standard wooden frame. As far as I can tell, it is sized exactly the same as a traditional spring mattress (except for the thickness).

The mattress I ordered was a twin, and fits a twin bed perfectly. I think it would be the same if you ordered a queen size. One way to be sure the dimensions will be under the features of the mattress and you could measure the box springs to make sure they are the same. I hope this helps you. I really like the mattress.

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

I don't think that this would work in your situation. I tried to install this on a bed without a box spring- the mattress sat on the wooden slats. The rail part (which is what you see in the picture) is a round metal tube perhaps 3/8 inch diameter- so there would have to be a gap between the bed and the frame. The other issue I ran into was the round piece at the end of the strap to hold the rail flush against the bed (the straps run under the bed and are meant to wedge between the box spring and mattress). Since I was trying to install it with a mattress on a flat surface the circle was unable to lay flush against the bed and would slip free. Both issues meant that I was unable to secure the bed rail to our child's bed and I ended up having to return it. I went with the little bumpers that slip under the sheets and that has worked wonderful for us. Since you are using this on a trundle bed I would expect you to run into similar issues.

I purchased a queen size mattress and it is on a captain's bed with drawers beneath the platform, very solid. I'm not sure if you mean a box spring on a bed frame or just the mattress on a bed frame. We've never had a box spring, just the solid platform. If you mean just a bed frame, I would imagine it would need some additional support otherwise it might sag over time.

I am not sure. We had a regular queen metal bed frame which we got rid of and put the regular box spring on the slats that were provided and the mattress on top. It became taller than before. The leather bed frame itself is very low.

I have a standard queen size mattress. The box spring isn't really necessary with the wood slats.

It would work without one on a platform bed ... but really it is designed to be used with a box spring or some kind of foundation . I have had it for almost a year .... used my old box spring that was fine and I am quite satisfied ... you need to use a mattress cover ... would recommend a thick one ... I use one that is thick and springy ... it works great ... the mattress itself is quite thick ... feels very firm at first but overtime softens up ... it was a great buy !

Larrydude,This ACTS as a bed spring/box spring.As for if it can fit into your bed frame, I don't know. You'd have to compare dimensions.

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

Yes, it will work, but make sure the wooden supports are not too far apart. I have a full size platform bed, so I bought a nice high mattress w/o a box spring. There were only 3 wood supports that are installed with the platform bed frame, NOT enough to put a mattress on, so I had to nail in 4 more planks of wood. Then i put the mattress supports over the 7 wood supports. It's sufficient now. I will tell you over time, you will probably need to buy the mattress supports again after 1.5 years. I'm at that point now. But it worked fairly well for its purpose. Just make sure you have enough wooden supports w/o too large of gaps.

not sure if I get the question, but it will work for a queen size mattress without using a box spring.

Yes, it will work with a standard queen/full size bed frame. The attachment plate has multiple adjustment holes to give you the best fit.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

it works perfectly with a captains bed (no box spring) so it will probbaly work well with a platform bed too.

I think it would be fine on anything from an inner-spring setup to just a plywood sheet on a platform bed. Personal preference may dictate; I like firm and am using a plywood sheet on top of an inner-spring foundation. I have a queen size arranged in stiffest configuration and I'm 6'3" and 210 lb. I've had mine over a year and love it.

You have to use a boxspring with this bed. However I hacked it by going to Home Depot and buying planks that I could lay down in order to turn it into a platform bed.
