Glideaway X-Support Bed Frame Support System, GS-3 XS Model – 3 Cross Rails and 3 Legs – Strong Center Support Base for Full, Queen and King Mattress, Box Springs, and Bed Foundations

Exactly what I needed. All needed hardware (9 nuts and bolts for the support assembly, and 6 screws for securing the supports to a wooden bed frame) are included – you will need a Phillips head screwdriver and a mallet or hammer.Setup was mechanically easy, though time consuming and a little confusing at times. The instructions are a bit light on exactly how the cross supports attach. One side of each cross support has a notch cut out of it – this notch fits around the horizontal angle bar and you attach to the top most bolt hole. It took a little bit to work out exactly which set of holes to use. I also opted to fully unscrew the feet from their plastic receivers and then hammer the receiver into the metal leg piece before screwing the foot back into the receiver. Though the plastic seems to be rugged, I doubt smacking the foot with a hammer and putting that stress on the threads is a great idea and others commented about trouble with the plastic threads failing and I imagine these two things could be related. I’ve seen others that added a nut to the foot to provide extra support and take some of the stress off the plastic threads, so I’ll keep that in mind if I run into any issues though they seem plenty strong for the moment.You’ll want to adjust the 3 cross bars to the correct length and lock them in place, attach the optional height extension brackets (leave the bolts finger tight only because you will need to remove one of them), and attach the feet, and then position the three supports paying attention to the orientation of the brackets so that all three are oriented in the same direction. Then attach the center support to the bed using the included screws, and then using the center bar as your reference point attach the cross supports and secure the bars to the bed. Lastly, adjust the feet down to the floor and give it a little test push to ensure there’s no wiggle with weight applied. The supports are heavy angle bracket, so there’s not much give to them – be sure those feet are all the way down or else you’ll be putting all of the weight on the wood bed frame pieces and not realized it until you’re on the floor.I was replacing a set of 3 cross supports with feet under a king sized bed. Those legs became damaged when the bed was moved, causing the legs to be pulled forward and twisting. Unfortunately, their design meant that there was no way to safely move the bed without fully disassembling it, which I learned the hard way.The new legs have a few advantages. For one, there is the crossing supports between each leg that prevents any front to back twisting which could otherwise cause the supports to turn and snap the screws securing them to the bed frame as happened with my old supports. The adjusting feet also mean that you can adjust the feet up to move the bed and then adjust them back down once it is in place again. Finally, these legs are quite rugged and would take some very serious conditions for them to bend or break. I’d expect the wood frame to break before these cross supports ever gave out.Once fully assembled and secured, this provided a rock solid platform for my mattress. Though this was a replacement after the previous legs failed and just about anything would have been an improvement, these supports are significantly more stable than the old original legs that came with the bed frame were when new. A nice upgrade overall and I’m very happy with my purchase.

FINALLY a solution! Your back will thank you. My partner and I struggled for a few years (!!) with our high-end box top mattress and box springs sinking in the middle and causing us to roll towards each other in our queen bed. Our wooden bed, while newer, just didn’t come with adequate support. Seriously- they just provided an assortment of 2×4 boards. We tried to build our own center supports, which helped a little, but was lacking. After considerable research and reading the reviews on this system (along with many sleepless nights, tired days and aching backs and joints) we decided to take the plunge and invest in this. It was not completely turn-key easy to assemble, but the other reviewers helped us immensely. So, be sure to read the reviews. We did purchase extra hardware to add to the support. Unsure if it was truly necessary, but it certainly didn’t hurt. This does require attachment to the bed frame, so make sure there is enough of a lip to do so, and use a drill. I would recommend putting this together with a partner. It’s possible alone, but would be much more challenging. There is a video on YouTube that helps a little bit, but we had some initial trial and error (before drilling anything!) to figure it out. It took us about 2 hours to assemble and secure the bed. A little sweat equity went a long way- we immediately noticed a difference like night and day. We no longer roll towards each other, our backs feel better and we are sleeping so much better for nearly a year now. The product has remained in place and hasn’t shifted a bit! Very sturdy and 100% worth the investment.

Great replacement for failed/faulty/broken bed guts. We have a really nice bed that was solid wood and wanted to keep, but the guts (support frame and slats) were made of cheap wood and broke, causing the bed to become unsafe/unusable. We did some research and found the Glideaway GS-3 XS X-Support Bed Frame Support System and it made the bed like new. It was fairly easy to assemble (although the directions could have been better), and is solid and sturdy once together. It has nylon feet pads so it won’t scratch (we have hardwood floors in the bedroom it is installed in) and both vertical and horizontal braces. Also the bed used to squeak a ton when you sat on it – and it is nearly quiet now. I highly recommend this system if you are looking to keep your bed, but have failed/faulty/broken bed guts!

So much better than the old wood 1 x 4 slats. I followed the recommendations of a few reviews and purchased extra hex nuts and large washers to support the plastic pieces that came with the frame. Other than that, the frame went in smoothly. It helped to have two people to line everything up properly but it could easily have been done by one person. I needed support for an antique oak bed. This worked perfectly. It doesn’t creak or sag like the old wood slats did. I’d buy again.

The solution I needed-still don’t know if it’s properly assembled. I have an older wood four poster bed. It had no center pieces for support. I used a box spring and it held up but I was concerned because it did feel a bit dippy in the middle and my dog sleeps under the bed. I found this item while looking for solutions to my situation. It is made of sturdy metal and once installed works perfectly. Assembly was a comedy. We looked at the videos here which are not about installation and on YT and found two but they are not so great. You will be wondering where does the notch go-It goes on the top and stick out a bit. The instruction are close to useless. We relied on the YouTube videos, and got one side together but then were not clear about the alignment and the center pieces, ultimately, we put it together, I am not sure it’s correct but the fact that it’s drilled into the bed and the three legs are standing gives the stability. Don’t try it alone.

Good product, good price, terrible assembly instructions. I’d give this a 5 if it only had decent assembly instructions. The ones that are included are totally useless, save for the parts list. Watching Youtube videos helps somewhat.Here’s a brief set of instructions:1. Determine if you need the extension plate for each center clamp (depending on the height of the rails on your bed frame). If you do, attach them.2. Screw in the feet into the center clamps.3. Take 2 cross supports, and slide them through a center clamp. Extend the supports until they reach over the rails of the frame (they should lay flat on the rails). Tighten the L-bolt so that the assembly is secure. Do this for the other 2 sets of supports and center clamps. Make sure all the clamps face the same direction. For these instructions make sure that the L-bolts face the foot of the bed.4. Take the 3 assemblies and lay them on the bed frame rails approximately where you think they should go. DON’T screw them into the frame yet. Adjust the feet so that they will allow the assembly ends to make contact with the bed frame rails.(For this next part, the 2 x-frames will connect the 3 cross supports. The end of each x-frame with the notch will always be towards the foot of the bed, and attach on the top hole.)5. Starting at the head of the bed, take an x-frame and bolt the ends WITHOUT THE NOTCH to the top and bottom holes on the center clamp. Make sure you orient things so the notch at the other end (i.e. connecting to the center span assembly) is on top and facing up. I recommend having the long end of the bolts not stick out.6. Bolt the ends of that x-frame, and the end of the other x-frame (without the notch), to the center clamp of the middle assembly.7. Bolt the final x-frame end into the last assembly, near the foot of the bed. If the notch isn’t facing up then you attached that x-frame upside down to the center clamp.8. Check that you bolted the x-frames to the top and bottom holes on each center clamp.9. Center the entire assembly from the head to the foot of the bed so that you have good support between where your hips and shoulders will be. Starting with the cross support at the head of the bed, drill a small guide hole through the holes at each end of the cross support, and screw in the screws into the frame rails. Now that the whole assembly is anchored, you can go ahead and put in the other 4 screws.10. Check the height of the feet. They should put just a tiny bit of upward pressure, no more.And you’re done.

This was great. I had bought my daughter a new bed- unfortunately the wood slats were not sturdy and broke within a month. I purchased this for stability. It was very easy to install and it is adjustable so it fit perfectly. A great value. I would definitely recommend this product if you need to stabilize your bed. It is very sturdy now.

Satisfied. This was easy enough to assemble… I also ended up looking up the YouTube before putting it together and that might’ve helped the process. We’ve had this for almost a year and have not been disappointed. it has added extra support to our bed and has remained sturdy and stable.
