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.

We bought it to use with the memory foam mattress we got for our son and his wife and they love it. It fits on the metal frame made for foam mattresses perfectly. According to our son it was very easy to assemble. Hope this information is helpful to you.

It is compatible with a standard metal bed frame. It holds up on its own doesn't lean on wall. I bought for a king bed and its nice. I am picky and this exceeded my expectations. Good Luck

I believe the rails connect the headboard and foot of the bed together. They are metal. I ordered a queen size frame and the is a gap between the end of my mattress and the foot of the bed also if you are not using a box spring mattress with this you will need to get some kind of slants to support your mattress

I purchased this headboard for my queen size bed. We have a regular metal frame with a boxspring and pillowtop mattress and it looks fine. The only problem we have with the headboard is that since it is mounted to our metal frame, there is a lot of movement if the bed is not up against the wall. We have the bed in front of our window which is fine--I just cannot sit up in my bed, with a pillow behind my back and read a book!

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

I am not sure what you mean by an adjustable bed. If you mean an adjustable frame then it will work, but if it is just the metal frame, you will need some 2x4s for slats or my husband used plywood to fit on the frame to hold and support the bed. Otherwise after a period of time it might start to sag in the middle. We have had ours for quite sometime and still love it!!! I am going to order another one very soon for another bedroom!

This bed requires a firm surface. It must be on a flat surface or a spring support surface. I would suggest a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood be placed on the metal bed first if there is not consistent support on the entire surface.

The supports have a hole on each end for either a bolt or screw. To attach to metal rails, you may need to drill a hole in your frame. The supports are fairly stable, though, so you may not need to bolt at all -- depends on how 'active' you are in bed...

When u put the rails together make sure it is your size; either for queen or king. Read the directions carefully. We really like this bed. Only problem we had was the hardware was missing. After a phone call we received the hardware in 2 days.

Depending on how high your bed frame is off the floor, it may need some tweaking. Other than that, an inexpensive way to give some added support. It slid onto my metal frame with no trouble.

Unfortunately no. the bed is made to be the support. A metal frame would not fit. If you do choose this bed you will need to buy more wood for extra support. the wood supplied is not nearly strong enough and there's only three pieces

I just spent 3 days trying to figure this out myself. You have to buy a regular full size metal frame to use the sides of the crib as headboard and foot board. There are no actual conversion rails for it.

You can connect it to a regular bed frame,there are several holes to do this. However, on my frame, only one set of the holes worked, so another set had to be drilled. It does work with just one set of holes on each side bolted, but it is not as secure. I've noticed that others here have said they have had to drill an additional set of holes as I did.

we did not have a bed frame before but the steel unit has "floor protectors" that tend to slide a little on our wood floor.and they make a clicking sound when weight is shifting on the mattress itself. I think it would fit inside any king mattressbox frame as the metal frame does not come up the sides of the foam. there is a simple "pretty cheap" dust ruffle to cover the metal frame. we use this unit as a main bed and so far are o,k. with it, and we both have back issues and not all bedswork out. we did buy a Costco mid price range mattress and happy with it also. we did not have a bed frame before but the steel unit has "floor protectors" that tend to slide a little on our wood floor.and they make a clicking sound when weight is shifting on the mattress itself.

Sorry, I don't know if it fits into a standard bed frame as our intent was to just use it on a floor. However, I don't think that I'd use it on a metal frame for fear that the mattress gets damaged and leaks from any metal snags.

We attached ours to a metal bed frame without a problem except that one of the bolt receivers on the headboard was stripped. We used a screw an inch or so away instead.
