Instructions
1. Determine if the side rails of the full bed frame are hooked or bolted to the headboard and the footboard. Some side rails hook directly onto the headboard and footboard, while others use nuts and bolts.
2. Purchase a full-to-queen bed converter online or at a bedding store according to what type of frame you have. Some converters come with both hooks and bolts.
3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the old side rails with the converter rails. Hook or bolt the converter rails to the headboard and the footboard. Adjust the L brackets to fit the queen-size box spring.
4. Adjust and secure the center support leg before placing the queen box spring on the converted frame. Place the box spring on the frame.
5. Place the queen mattress on top of the box spring.
