Some platform beds lack tall railing and rely on your mattress’s weight to keep them in place, which causes your mattress to shift and slide around at night.
Similarly, if there is extra space between the railing and your mattress—despite the bed marketed as compatible with your mattress size—there’s room for your mattress to slide around. Mattress movement is annoying and potentially unsafe, especially while you sleep. Here are our tips to help keep your mattress stay in place: Attach Velcro, carpet tape, or non-slip tape to your mattress and the wooden slats. Place a non-slip pad or rubber mat between your mattress and the base. Place small towels or wooden boards between the edges of your mattress and the platform bed.
