where did you guys put the braces? facing up or down? towards the middle of the bed or on the ends?

I really am not sure because I did not put them on yet as I do not have a headboard to use. But I would say, wait until you have a head board, and line it up on the back and make the call on where to put the braces to make sure you get an exact fit on the headboard.

Hi Ms. Levine,1) Mostly Yes. You would need to align it after some time especially if you are using the features provided by bed.2) Difficult to stay in middle.3) I didn't try anything. But if you use some kind of holder for the bed's rolling feet then it should be fine.Hope this helps.Regards,Sagar

I use 2 sets of suspenders on a hospital bed, both the head & foot are adjustable. The short set came with 4 suspenders the long set came with 2 suspenders. I put 2 of the shorter set on the corners at the foot, hook the other 2 together and connect it from side to side in the middle & the longer 2 down the middle from head to foot. Works great for me.

I tried it both ways. It works better for me with the egg crate face down toward the mattress. I have been very happy with it.

Yes, tilts both ways. Actually I was very pleased with this product (I was expecting less). My wife and I both had different surgeries a few weeks apart, and were able to use it in bed, from either side. It raises up pretty high too, and goes low so it can be used at a chair as well.

You can have them on top or bottom. Just turn them around and screw it to opposite side.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up.Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They wouldbe on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any replyon that!

I would say for the crib. Simply because when you remove all sides and use the back as a headboard on a traditional bed set up you are then using regular bed rails and box springs which offer different support. For the toddler/daybed setup you are still using the crib mattress and supports. Hope that helps.

They are normally vertical but it is up to you. They can be installed either way.Good luck!

I located one of my ceiling roof trusses.... Used a long bit and bolted thru... As far as wanting to standing on the bed, the support straps are easy to adjust to just about any height... I have ours at the edge of the bed so she can actually lay her head on pillows since there is no head rest.... I hope that helpsEnjoy and send pictures...lolBob

We did both for my daughter. I like it better mounted over the middle because it wraps her whole bed. It's easier to maneuver when it's at the head though. Both work.

Like others have said, it's kind of awkward when putting them on their side. You could potentially use some rubber feet toward the front, and if put in the exact right spot, you could balance the speaker on those and where the middle curves out furthest (if that makes any sense). Ideally though, you want them upright.

I have not tried it without the braces. Its basic use is to protect mouth areas from brace wires and brackets that are causing pain. It starts out soft, then rubberizes a bit. I stick it into the brace to hold it in place. Its a bit like keeping a piece of gum in your mouth. Therefore, It should be used in a non visible place. Unfortunately, front bottom teeth are not an ideal spot.

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.

The 45 degree braces are a part of the platform, so they move with the platform. So when you adjust the platform, they are adjusted at the same time. You will need to buy plywood to go with this (at least I did). And you want 3/4 inch thick plywood to stand on.

I put them on the slats. My bed did not have a center support rail. You should be good with them on either.
