After a week in yellowstone of trying to sleep on the factory 6 thick queen mattress the lower back pain was killing me even with a memory foam topper.
Putting full size mattress on queen frame.
The four sided metal queen size bed frame that adjusts to variable widths is very simple to fit to a full size bed.
So i removed the mattress from the wood foundation and no wonder the mattress edges are so droopy.
Only a queen bed frame that uses extensive cross support such as a frame that uses a large number of wooden.
Queen headboard and or footboard usually measures 60 inches wide while full size mattresses and bed frames only measures 54 inches wide.
It had a wooden headboard and footboard with iron rails that connect them.
If you re upgrading from a full size mattress to queen you can easily attach your existing headboard to the larger bed frame.
After removing the queen size mattress and box spring push the frame inward from the foot of the mattress support to adjust its length to 75 inches.
Since the metal bed frame dimensions are set for a full size mattress you will need to loosen the fasteners and make the bed frame 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer so the queen size mattress fits.
The side rails on a queen bed frame would not be able to provide the necessary stability to keep the full sized mattress securely in place.
You do not have to adjust the bed frame very much.
Also determine the type of box spring you have whether it is a standard box spring or split box spring.
Push the frame inward on one of its sides to adjust it from 60 inches to 54 inches.
The foundation is made for a full size mattress 75 x54 not a queen size 80 x60.
The problem is that the bed frame is about an inch too wide for my box spring so the box spring needs to rest on boards in order to keep from falling through.
In contrast a standard full size mattress is approximately 53 inches wide by 75 inches long.
I recently purchased an antique full size bed frame.

Although 6 inches may seem like a lot it really isn t when you split the difference between each side.
