Frequently Asked Questions about Bed Frames

What kind of bed frame will RAISE my bed?: Bed frames with risers or bed risers.
Our deluxe bed frame with risers is the best bed frame with riser system available anywhere. We also sell bed frame risers that you can use on your existing metal bed frame. Learn more about our bed risers or bed frames with risers.

What kind of bed frame will lower my bed?

A Low Profile Bed Frame or Low Profile Bed Rails will help lower your bed.

If you don't have a headboard or a headboard ONLY (with no footboard), you can choose one of our Low Profile Bed Frames.
If you have BOTH a headboard and a footboard, you can use our Low Profile Drop Rails.

How can I attach a footboard to my existing bed frame?: Use a Footboard Bracket Kit.

Can I convert a full size bed to a queen?: Try our full to queen converter rail system.

Can I convert a queen size bed to a king?: Unfortunately, there is no converter to convert a queen to a king. Why? There is too much difference in width between a king and a queen: 16". The overhang would be 8" on each side, which would not only look a little weird, but there would be no good way of making it stable enough to support king size bedding. (Full to Queen size conversion works, because the difference in width is much smaller, only 6", so there are only 3" overhang on each side, which is practically unnoticeable.)

Can I convert my twin size bed to a full?: Unfortunately, there is no converter to convert a twin to a full size. Why? There is too much difference in width between a twin and a full size bed: 16". The overhang would be 8" on each side, which would not only look a little weird, but there would be no good way of making it stable enough to support full size bedding. (Full to Queen size conversion works, because the difference in width is much smaller, only 6", so there are only 3" overhang on each side, which is practically unnoticeable.)

Can I convert my 3/4 size bed to a full?: Unfortunately, we do not know of a converter that will convert 3/4 bed to a full. If you opt to use the headboard ONLY, you can use mod-adapter plates to adapt your full size bed frame so that you can attach the 3/4 size headboard.

What are the standard bed sizes?: Twin: 39" X 75"
Twin Extra Long: 39" X 80"
Three Quarter (3/4): 48" X 75"
Full (Double or Standard): 53" X 75"
Full Extra Long: 53" X 80"
Queen: 60" X 80"
Eastern King (King): 76" X 80"
California King: 72" X 84"

How can I attach a hook-on headboard to my metal bed frame?: You can use our bed hook adapter kit. These attach easily to your bolt-on headboard brackets and allow you to hook-in to your headboard without having to use your footboard.

How can I fill in the gap between two twin mattresses?: To hold the mattresses together tightly and fill in the gap between the two mattresses, Try our Create-a-King!
