When you head to a mattress store, retailers have a lot of different types of sleep solutions to choose from. Generally, these sleep systems come at a standard bed height of about 25 inches, or two feet off the ground. You can, however, adjust the height of your bed however you see fit.
Overall, defining the best bed height for yourself is about finding something that allows your legs to be close to a 90-degree angle. For adults, the average knee height is between 16” and 24” off of the ground.
Choosing the best bed height for you can significantly impact your comfort level when getting in and out of bed. Another determining factor in your bed height is how you want your bedroom to look.
Here are some suggestions when considering the different heights of sleep systems.
Lower sleep systems are great for a number of reasons. You can take advantage of loft space by having lower beds. They are better for pet owners. Many new parents also get low sleep systems, so kids don't fall too far off the bed. When you like to sleep lower to the ground, it's best to get a platform bed. While many simply place a box spring and mattress on the floor, that type of sleep system is designed to be placed on a frame. Platforms will give you the support your mattress is designed for but will keep your bed closer to the ground. Also, if you happen to have mobility issues, a low sleep system is a more ideal bed height.
You have more options with high sleep systems. You can purchase a high frame or loft bed with lifts. You can choose between a platform-style bed or a traditional sleep system with a box spring and mattress. If you need storage, then under the bed storage is easy with a high sleep system. It can also discourage kids from climbing up or pets from jumping up.
Both high and low sleep systems can be challenging to get in and out of, so if you suffer from back problems or are older in age, the average bed height is the best option. Consider finding a height that complements yours, one where you can easily sit down on the edge of the bed. That's the bed height that's just right!
There are many styles of bed frames and adjustable bed bases you can choose from. Whether you are looking for an adjustable bed frame for a queen or king or any other base, you can find what you are looking for at a Bedzzz Express mattress store near you. What does this mean? Well, you won't have to compromise the way you want the room to look when you choose the right mattress and bed frame.
A platform bed also known as a flat bed is any bed frame that can support your mattress on its own. These are usually lower to the ground and have a slatted or solid surface. You won't have to worry about a box spring foundation layer unless you want to increase the height.
If you happen to be taller or simply want more elevation, then a traditional bed frame might be a better option for you. These frames usually need a box spring or a different foundation, making the top of the mattress sit higher off of the ground.
These types of beds are covered in fabric and are usually lower to the ground. If you want more height with these types of beds you can add an additional foundation layer. Many people describe upholstered beds as cozy and “low-profile”.
Adjustable bed frames are available in various heights with different features. These types of beds are an optimal choice for those who are looking for various features such as changing the position of your bed and supporting your upper body or laying completely flat.
In addition, these are a great choice if you are looking to adjust the bed from high to low and you won't have to choose one height over the other. You can get the best of both worlds! Take a look at our adjustable bases to determine which one you might like the most.
