On the manufacturer's web site, in the picture of the crossarm's keyslot attachment, it appears that you can put the crossarm anywhere you want it. The page is https://www.malouffinelinens.com/Store/Structures-Bed-Frames/Structures-Twin-Full-Queen-Adjustable-Bed-Frame/index.cfm

I called Malouf and there's no center bar for the twin. Only full and queen

If I understand you correctly, your king size mattress and or box spring is on the floor. My guess is you would want more than 4 so additional support would be placed under the center area. Otherwise, the mattress would sag in the middle. Just sayin...

i cut down/modified the center support to use in twin configuration. i believe the design calls for the full size to use the support diagonally/queen size straight across as shown in the picture above. unfortunately since i tossed directions i am going from memory.

This is a great question. Because I used it for a king bed, it was stretched to its full length and so the legs were all centered correctly. But if I recall, they had specific holes you put the nuts and bolts in depending on the size bed frame you wanted. The bars slid down each other according to the bed size and I believe this would have centered the legs.Hope that helps!Megan

I'm confused how this would fit inside an existing king bed frame. Mine has center legs (which all king frames should)--and so does this product--so that wouldn't work, right?. I'm buying a new mattress but don't want a new boxspring. I already have the headboard and frame.

I hope I understand your question correctly. I will answer like this. I bought a double (full) bed mattress and bought this platform in the same size. This platform came in two twin bed size halves (I'm guessing that's what they are), with push-on rubber clamps that snap them together VERY securely. Let me know if this is not clear. But bottom line is buy ONE of these for the size mattress you plan to use.

I have a full size mattress with a box spring. It will work on a twin bed. I am not sure, on a sleep number bed. I had a question for the Drive Medical, I called after hours, and they called me the next morning. I don't have the phone number.

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 purchased 2 of these bed rails and have them on a twin bed. They do not snap together but the legs/straps overlap each other and fit snuggly under the mattress. They include instructions on how to use them as double bed rails.

I don't use any kind of foundation or box spring with my mattress. My bed frame has a set of wooden slats spaced about one inch apart and it has worked perfectly. Foam mattresses generally are much lighter in weight and considerably denser than standard mattresses. The density means that they are less likely to sag or bend out of shape than an innerspring mattress.

My son, at college, is using the frame as a twin bed frame only so he has not used the support legs that one needs if making a full size frame. My hunch is that after the weight of the box springs and mattress are added to the frame, the frame will "settle down" and the supports will likely touch the floor. The frame works great as a twin size and my son has had no problems.

I had trouble with the horizonal bar area. We only had one mattress on our platform bed.It didn't require a box spring. Look at the picture closely and that mattress comes up to the horizontal bar _ we had about a 3 inch gap, my pillow would slide right out the back.I really do like the frame. I taped some heavy foam board to the back and we're OK now.I don't think the up right bars will be a problem.

I have just a mattress on the frame, with no box spring. The bed doesn't really need a box spring, but I was still fearful of sagging. So, I ordered two bed boards the place in between the mattress and frame and have had no problems.

I'm not sure I have the answer you're looking for: I had just purchased a bed frame with the basic metal cross-bars for support (of the frame, I discovered) and a memory foam mattress. I needed this to support the mattress. They work perfectly together.

I have a California King sized bed that had almost no support at all for the box springs, etc. It had good strong side supports but nothing to hold any weight in the middle. I bought two sets of these and they worked beautifully. I now have one of the most sturdy solid beds ever. You do want to use box spring(s) or a sheet of wood though. I don't recommend putting a mattress directly on these supports. They are super strong but you need to disperse the weight of the mattress evenly if you want a nice comfortable bed.

We have a platform bed, so we were never going to use a box spring, even if it was recommended. We first tried the mattress without any support, other than the wood slats that were attached to the base of the platform bed. It was ok, but my wife wanted to get "bunky boards", because she didn't think we had even support. These hard, thin boards made a huge difference. They are maybe 1.5/2" thick. It's a perfect solution, if you don't want to raise your bed up with a box spring, which I would never use with this mattress. The wood slats on a platform bed would be fine, depending on how they are attached, however. Our slats just don't seem to be sturdy even for some reason. I hope this helps.

We ended up ordering a universal center bar because our mattress did the same thing a few times :(. Hasn't happened since though.
