Moving Twin Beds...Maybe a solution?

[mbubbaca]

So after a year of sliding around at night on our twin beds. I might just have found a simple solution. 2 2x2 brackets holding the mattress in place at the foot and top inside next to the nightstand. If it isn't enough I can put a slat along the long side and add another bracket to help hold us in place.

Looks like a great way to wear or rip a hole in a sheet or mattress....I would put a piece of a pool noodle above and/or below the mattresses, if I had trouble with them sliding around.....Mine don't slide, though.

If it was me, I would use a piece of 1x2 Oak, sanded edges, stained, and screwed into place. A lot less chance of damage to the mattress and much nicer to look at!

We use those lock together exercise mats under the mattresses. They also add insulation

We found that a magazine holder fits perfectly between the mattress and the night table and also has a useful purpose for the ipad, papers, etc in addition to holding the mattress snug.

Can you please elaborate on this mattress holder and where you bought it. We are picking up a 25 twin bed tomorrow. Thanks

You might even consider laying down a piece of rubber matting, either the kind they put on shelves, or the kind they use under throw rugs on wood floors. I would think this the easiest and less expensive answer to the sliding problem without destroying your mattress. I use this under EVERYTHING I wish not to move.

Waffled texture rubberized shelf matting under the mattresses will keep them in place.
