Without adequate support under the foundation, even the best bedding available will eventually sag thus causing the side rails to warp or break. Today’s bedding foundations need more support in the center, than the bedding of days past. Save money when you purchase center supports with your wooden bed rails. See Set-Up Video on our YouTube Channel here. All are edge banded to keep smooth edges. We finish it off with a polyurethane clear coat to protect the wood stain. Our wood bed rails are made from a 7/8 inch plywood core with a veneer finish. We recommend using our tubular steel center supports for a fix it and forget it project! The wood slat bearer will accommodate either wood or metal slats. If you require a perfect match, order the unfinished bed rails, and work with your paint store to select the right stain. Please note that wooden bed rails come in a dark, medium, and light finish and unfinished. They are 82 inches long and made of high quality wood and come in dark, medium, and light finish, as well as unfinished.

These wooden rails replace metal rails or wooden rails that have warped, been lost, or damaged over time. The changes took about 2 hours to complete.“Carl, thanks for the quick response, bed rails arrived today as promised and the bed had been assembled with new queen mattress and box spring!” -John U. I had to trim the shelf against the headboard nearly 3', but the whole setup is more snug than it was with my original design. The change is not visible from the outside, but the increase in strength should keep anything from coming loose in the future. After getting five screws in each bearing plate, I stretched the 3' x 7' tie plates across the inside of the rail to stiffen the joints. After that, it was a matter of drilling through the wood and plate (but not the outside face) and securing it will #10 metal screws. Then, I had to trim the expansion rails to remove the area where the pins were and widen the kerf enough to fit the 1/8' bearing plates and deep enough to snug up the old and new rails. Rather than repeat the same mistakes, I headed over to Lowes and picked up some Simpson strong ties (four 3' x 3' Bearing plates, and four 3' x 7' tie plates) I removed the hook portion from the old bed rails by drilling from the outside with a small diameter bit and forcing the retaining pins out.

Full Mattress 54' x 75' Queen Mattress 60' x 80' Update: Well, it almost worked.The pins I was hoping would work in broke sending the bed into a slanted position. It has really turned out to be a great addition. We can charge our phones, store books, glasses, etc.

It sits about 4' below the mattress and allows you to lay your arm under your pillow without it falling asleep. The additional area at the head of the bed was made into a curved shelf resting on triangular plywood posts, complete with an electrical outlet. The finished dimensions of the opening are 60-1/2' (a little wider than it should be, 3/4' plywood was used under the box spring) x 90' (including the curve on the headboard). The extension of the frame was a bit more difficult because the headboard was designed to curve around the mattress. The rails use the same bed hook design as the original. I am hoping that as we use the bed, it will loosen the pin holes a bit to mate up the two pieces better. As you can see if the photos, the original rails sit a little proud of the extensions. The blanks were make up of face-glued Yellow Pine that was shaped with a bandsaw and belt sander. After a couple attempts, I came up with this result. I had the idea to extend the frame (width and length) to accommodate the mattress we used. We had an 'antique' bed frame that was setup for a Full sized mattress instead of the Queen each of us had.
