This is my first post here, so please take it easy on me! :sweatdrop:
To make a long and embarrassing story short, I recently bought a king bed frame for my California king mattress, which was purchased a year ago.
Both items were somewhat pricey, and neither can be returned at this point, nor do I want to return them. To clarify, a Cal king bed is 4 inches longer than a regular king, and is also 4 inches narrower. So my question is, can the side rails of the frame be extended to accommodate the extra length of my mattress? We were actually able to stuff the foundation and mattress into the frame as is, but it's not entirely stable and the mattress is a little squished :whistling2:
The side rails are single pieces of wood with metal pieces on each end that latch into the headboard and footboard. Now that I mention it, I wonder if an extension piece could be made to latch onto the side rail, and then latch onto the head/footboard...
Any ideas, other than buying the right size frame?
Thanks!
