So, what is the right bed height? Well, it really depends on the person. Taller people are going to want a high bed while shorter people are going to be better off with a low bed. Sitting near the edge of the bed, it should look like the legs are at close to a 90-degree angle. This will make it easy to get in and out of bed.
There are so many types of bed frames and foundations to choose from and they will give the bed a different height. For instance, platform beds are lower and will be better for short people and those who want a modern, sleek look in their bedroom.
Traditional beds with standard frames will need a boxspring, so they will be a bit taller. These are a good fit for people of pretty much any size and those who want a classic-looking bedroom. Antique beds are much higher and are a good match for taller people and those who want a classic look in their bedroom. Futons are going to be a better fit for guest rooms, but won’t be the best for taller people.

great
In my experience the best bed height is the one that your wife is most comfortable with 😅
Simp
Yikes do u carry her purse too?
The simp
He's not simping he's getting laid...
I've seen beds right on the floor for a 'zen' type look and that could be cozy, but I prefer to sleep up higher as it's easier to get out of bed in the morning haha
I have always liked a higher bed - even one on a platform. The only time when it became inconvenient is when I was 8 mos. pregnant! LOL!
The dad must've exploded inside you when you where on a couch or something.
@@Imfrommars444 uhh 😳❤️😏
@@brandonmurray6779 Umm yea
Since I am tall, I like high beds. It also seems the thicker mattresses are more comfortable to me as well.
Also a thought, when you sit on the edge of your bed, you will sink a bit which lowers the mattress height when it matters, so perhaps making your bed taller will still give you the right knee height with that in mind
Thanks for the info! A traditional bed frame is always a good choice.
Thanks for this topic, I never even thought of considering bed height!
Great info. I prefer a high bed, a low bed does not feel comfortable to me, don't want to be so close to the ground.
Great video about a topic I wouldn’t have really considered in my bed frame search.
I’m 5’ 8” and my bed is 28” high. I like sleeping high. My feet are planted flat when i sit at the edge of my bed so no problem there and 14” of storage space is great
THIS MANS IS 6/7” 😭
Yea im 6’6 this video is something i never even thought about but my bed gonna be high af lmao
Perfect! Just what I’m lookin for just had a queen bed ordered.. be back questions I love a high bed
I'm 5'10 and my bed is hip height. I didn't mean for it to be so tall but I needed storage and a mattress topper. I love it though and I find it easy to get in and out of bed.
A bed that is higher is definitely the way to go. Because when you get up in the middle of the night to go pee the last thing you want to be doing is lifting your body up doing any exercise you just hop out of bed and go pee and then roll back in
I do prefer lower beds, closer to the ground, connects you with the nature. Helps me to be more focused on my day. High beds are good for holidays, a lower one for a daily basis (for me) 👍🏻
I have one mattress in my house that sits on a platform bed, my bed however is on what I would guess is a more traditional style bed, with a box spring and large mattress. I happen to like sleeping a little higher off the ground, but I don't think it affects my sleep. I'm tempted to measure the distance from the floor, but I know that with this mattress is too high for my 7 pound dog to jump onto. That may have helped my sleep more than anything else.
Thank you. I’m 5.2 feet & my bed is comfortable to sleep on it,however, I have difficulty getting on and off. The explanations you give is excellent . Thanks.
Hmm who else went to their own bed to check if the bed was the right height....or is it just me? I didnt even think about all this when purchasing my bed or mattress. Great job
Our bed is 30” off the ground. I’m 5’ 8” and my wife is 5’ 4” and it’s perfect.
Wow. That’s very high. If I’m drunk i am sleeping on the floor
im a higher bed person but again thats determind on comfort. So i do prefer higher but im in bed 24/7 so long as kts going to fit my needs im happy.
I came here after buying a Robot Vacuum. The height I needed is for the Vac to move easily under the bed. But it is better to rethink and learn more about beds and if the highrise bed is better for air flow eaither cooling or hygienically.
Great video ! I wish you include what an average person, taller person and shorter person is. Or at least a ballpark.
Thanks. Very useful video
Great information. I'm 6'2 and definitely appreciate a taller bed. Easier to get in and out of.
Great review
He's 6' 7" 😮
I like a higher mattress and am used to it, I didn't realize you could buy bed risers.
great vid, thx!
Thanks. I've got a new frame and needed information on comfort and design. BTW, I'm not buying one, but I'm short and love to climb up onto an antique bed. They look luxurious.
Great to hear!
Excellent advice
I inadvertently made our bed high. First the side frame of the footer and bed was damaged and had to replace it with a generic one. I think that might have increased it by a couple of inches. Then the box spring that came with the an old matttress broke had to get one those DIY BED box that made it even higher. Our dog peed on our tempurpedic mattress we then had to replace that mattress. Since the tempurpedic mattress was very expensive (we got ours more than 15 years earlier) We got some thing that was 1000 dollars cheaper. We got a Serta iSeries 2000 which was a medium firm mattress. We had no idea this thing got to be almost like a table! 😂 😂 😂 😂 i had to order a low bedside stepper!
i was waiting for him to say "but not so suitable for a shorter person like you"
I prefer high beds for sure. I think they just elevate (no pun intended rofl) the room more. I also really like my mattress on a traditional type of frame with a headboard to tie the room together.
My partner and I are both tall. I have a very high platform 14" and a thick 12" mattress. Works for us but we're ready for a new mattress.
Love high beds!
How can you lower your mattress and box spring? I have seen brackets that attached to beds that hung down a few inches that you put the bed boards on and then spring and mattress...would lower it. Where can I find these?
Hi Marten - I don't think you mentioned which bed height is best for you yourself, which would've been helpful. We're in our early-mid 60s now, husband is 6'6 weighs 280-pounds, I'm 5'6 weigh 170-pounds, we've had our bed 35-years with three mattresses, and are spec-ing up our "final forever" bed, so mattress/mattresses have to 7' long, not so easy to find here in the UK, but I have some sources lined up. Even at 24-inches high I find our current bed sometimes has its limitations. If my husband suffers a sudden back spasm, it's very difficult for him to move off the bed once he's swung round to the sitting-on-the-edge position without my help, and I don't relish providing a human pivot support to him as we both get older! It's hard enough now! If we have to source a bespoke bed base, I'd rather factor in additional height for the final bed height now, maybe get a wooden frame with higher/longer bed upright posts which can be sawn off at the base in later years when we both lose height ourselves through ageing. So what bed height do you currently sleep on? Would be grateful for your comments.
Hi thanks for such a wonderful video. I have a 12" mattress without box spring. We use it directly on the floor since the height is good. Now we have decided to buy bed but confused on what to buy whether upholstered or low profile? We are not interested in buying box spring since the bed will be too height. Myself and my husband are of decent height I am 5"3 and my husband is 5"7 so too much height can affect us we are looking for a lower one without box spring. Which one would you recommend upholstered or low profile?
very concise!!!
How do I measure in-between the headboard and top of the frame where ya slide a mattress in so there’s no gap. My bed is 5-6 inches off the ground my box spring is 9 inches off the ground .. I’m 5 ‘ 4”
So should I be looking at a 10-13 inch memory foam mattress?
Ty
I'm only 6'4" and used to have a traditional innerspring mattress with box spring on an old school metal frame. Then, I switched to a 10" latex mattress that sits on a platform bed (no foundation or box spring) and it's definitely lower. I don't love it, but it's not as low as some low profile platform beds I've seen. Would prefer to sleep higher. But, to be honest, once you are lying down it doesn't really matter. It's more a matter of getting in and out of bed and sitting on the edge where the height matters.
"I'm only 6'4"" 😹😹😹
@@xTruncz My sentiments exactly
😂😂
I like higher beds but I want it to be low enough so a dog can hop on or if they can't then I'll pick em up ☺️
They make doggy stairs
Love platform bed....had it for 38 yrs🥂🥂has 2 big drawers
In general I like a lower bed because I'm not very tall. I don't want to sleep on the floor though.
Holy moly 6 ft 7 that's awesome! I'm only 5 ft 2 and my bed is too high lol I have to jump in
I'm also 5'2 and my feet dangles when I sit on the edge of my bed, I feel like a kid everyday lol.
Is there a way you can male you bed taller for example adding a lower bed base or using a 2nd mattress? my bed is low
I want to shorten my sleigh bed but don’t know what height it should be because I have a thick top mattress and an old box spring? Is with one mattress what size or without mattress height should be? PLEASE HELP!
Hello! I have a purple mattress which does not recommend a box spring. I am looking for something to add so height to my slatted bed frame. Is there such a thing as a “slatted box spring” so to speak that you’re aware of. I can’t find anything! Thanks for the great content!
Hi! Can you do a review on sleepy's mattresses? They have very cheap(budget) mattresses but seems to have bad reviews on thier website. Can you do a review on their memory foan mattresses? Thanks!
I have a low bed and it feels like I have to use a lot of energy to get out and it makes it harder to fall back to sleep when I have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Can you have two 8"foam mattresses so you can sleep higher on a platform bed with wood slats?
Would it be too much weight?
I have a four poster bed. So it is plenty high. I had to get a low profile foundation
Thank you.
How do you feel about more than one mattress for a thicker mattress
I prefer a lower bed because I'm 5ft 0in. I don't like it too low...but somewhere in the middle
I heard that a higher bed height will make it easier for someone with mobility problems to get out of bed as you're closer to standing and it's less effort to slide out of bed, was hoping you might demonstrate that. Also, tip I heard from bob & brad, it's easier for someone with lower back or back pain to roll out of bed, then to do a sit up in the morning as it'll keep the spine straighter when doing so.
Not if their feet don’t go flat on the floor. It is a real hazard.
Helpful, thanks. @@TERFClub
I love and always wanted a big o bed, Victorian style and black and really tall buuuut, I have a senior German shepherd so I'm going to have to get a floy bed so it's easier for her to go up and down
The platform bed with the slats
Won't the mattress eventually lose shape because of the slats?
Ok… but imagine I’m quite tall, and I made the mistake of buying a REALLY short bed, and I REALLY need to make it higher… what would you recommend?
What are the options to make the bed lower for an elderly person?
I have a super high bed I have to jump or climb to get in it 🤣 but I kinda think it would be better if I was in a shorter one cause I'm lazy and it makes me just wanna stay in it all day
The current bed I’m on I too high it hurts to get out of it in the mornin my feet don’t touch the ground
Hi Marten! First thank you for this video- been trying to decide between the 11.5 or 14.5 Saatva. Also, what brand was that white fluffy comforter/duvet featured during the first part of the video? Ive been looking for a fluffy white comforter for awhile. Thank you!!
What is the wall color and what company
We have 18 inch high platform beds.. add a mattress and they’re about 28 -30 inches… I think u meant what we in the south call a flatbed.
Looking at a bed frame that says low profile what does that mean ?
I would like to have the "sleek" look of a modern bed but it's too low for me to get in and out of. Plus, I would definitely miss the storage space under the bed! It's a nice place to scoot things for a fast way to clean up the room!!😉..hehe I've often wondered why we used box springs and I guess this is why (easier to get in and out of). Have people always used box springs or is it something we started doing in the 20th century? Also, that was a good way of telling if the bed is the right hight for me/someone. Thanks.
When you think about it box spring it a stupid idea, taller bed frame is better and does permit storage under the bed
@@black11189 Yea! I used to know a person who did all kinds of wood work and I wouldn't mind finding someone like him to make a high frame like you're talking about.
I am 5'7 or 5'9 and which bed height is good for him becuase I have back pain.
You can also slip a bunky board or a thick piece of plywood under your box spring to increase height. I want my bed 30” off the ground and I’ve done a ton of research as to why- most hotel beds average at 30”-32” high which makes me think of luxury, and who wouldn’t want their beds to feel luxurious
Yes I have two box springs sets myself. It is extra high but curious if you can tell me what a bunny board is please?
I either sleep on a mattress on the floor or a very high bed
I clicked the way to video then he said I'm 6'7 I was like oh so this video is relatable since I'm 6'4
Thanks for the informative video!
I can honestly say I have never met a futon that I loved. I have a question. If you are more along the lines of plus sized will the height of a bed affect you?
Not so much the bed height, but the mattress thickness for sure. Plus sized people definitely want a thicker bed.
I'm 5'2" 120 lbs, small female and my bed is 27" high which is perfect for me. My husband is 5'11" 250 lbs, his bed was at 26" and was a struggle to get out of, too low; so we got it now at 30" high (tape measured from ground to top of mattress not sitting on it). Higher beds you can just slide over and you're already almost standing. We think higher beds are easier to get in and out of. I have another bed at 17" and it is much too low. Low beds make me have to do a plank just to get out of the bed. To each his own.
I like a low bed cause I am 5'4
Is 12 inches short or high?
Low bed makes your room looks bigger
At 6'7" you're not "taller" - you're TALL. LOL
If they weren't so expensive I'd invest in an actual futon, not these weird things we've taken to calling futons. Had one while I was living in Japan, and it took a while to get used to, but once you do it's great.
I prefer medium height lol. I am short but I still don't like to fall into bed nor climb out.
I love having a high bed, but my parents clearly are getting to the point where lower is better., plus it;s easier for the dogs to jump into bed with them. But the floor is too low for us.. I think hip height is perfect.
Seems that higher would be better for elderly to stand from.
Sleeping with dogs is a dirty unhygienic practise thats disgusting
I’m 5’2 and love a high bed just something about it
Most hotel beds mattress heights are around 30”, might be you like it too. I can’t stand a low bed, like sleeping with a mattress on the ground ugh I want tall Queen like luxury bed!
I prefer high.
my beds at 30 inches, yeah time to take out the box springs
I jump in and jump out Im 5,2, and my bed is too high.
Yeah I would like to see a 3'4" person POV on this, average female high. Because I'm used to my feet dangling off everything and never planting firmly on the floor. Climbing in and out of bed is just kinda normal, with life.
My partner and I bought a particular hight of bed frame based on what would be a good hight for sex.
I need an 15 inch bed
Low bed
I hate high bed's or too low 😭
What should matter is to have decent mobility and strength to be able to get your ass out of bed regardless the height of it.
Not all us short people want short bed. 27" is great, just slide my leg over and let it drop and I'm already standing up and out of the bed quicker. That way I can go from laying down to standing up in a second without having to sit first.
lmao i out 2 matresses for my bed and its so tall
As long as it's on the same level with my groin, it's perfect for me.
Solid argument
hello people
As a 5’4 person I feel like I need a taller bed shorter beds are ugly
Im 5'4" and I have a taller bed where my feet dangle five inches off the floor. I want something lower, where it is easier to get in and out of bed. Im on macybeds as we speak, buying a low profile bed frame 6.0", a low profile box spring 5.5", and a 10.5" - 11" mattress. Im tired of it being hard to climb in and out of my bed.
The best bed height is 6 feet under. smh
Wtf there's a youtube channel talking about the best way to sleep stuff 👁👄👁
I don’t like high beds.
Most beds especially electric beds fr the elderly are made for the average man not women it’s sickening and I’ve written to manufacturers.
I just what a bed where I gotta run to get on it.
OMG! You're in luck! Helix just announced their new Elite line on Friday. They're 16" thick. You might need a springboard. helixsleep.com/collections/elite
and I just want a bed that I don't have to get a running start to get into it. Im 5'4" tall.
