I bought my mattress about 4 or 5 years ago.
Gap between mattress and footboard.
It was supposed to be a standard king.
Stand at the bottom end of the bed and try to push the box spring until it hits the headboard.
Check pieces and determine measurements.
Tall footboards require that the bedspread be tucked into the gap between the footboard and the mattress.
Step 3 remove both the mattress and box spring if this still doesn t fix the situation.
The number of boards you use depends on how wide the gap is.
Prevents arm and leg entrapment.
It pushes the mattress all the way up to the headboard so that the gap doesn t occur at all.
Short footboards can either have the bedspread tucked behind the footboard or allowed to cover it.
If you prefer you could push the mattress all the way up to the headboard and fasten the stop gap board s to the footboard instead.
Diy headboard mattress gap filler so full disclosure this gap filler technically goes between the foot board and the mattress not the headboard and the mattress.
Works when side rails are raised or lowered.
Closes space between mattress and headboard footboard.
In many cases when there s a gap between the headboard and mattress it is simply because the box spring isn t positioned correctly.
