What is the maximum thickness of mattress for this bed? Will a 6 inch foam mattress be low enough so the side of the bed act as a bedrail?

I have the 6 inch foam ones n they are great! The rail is super high except where the sides come down for getting in and out

We have a regular size twin mattress and the sides are perfectly adequate as bed rails.

Hi, you can go easily up to a mattress that is 9" thick so yours is going to fit very well. Thank you so much!

We got a 7" foam matteress and it is still below the lip of the bed. 6 inch should be fine.

Hi Mr. Flory, The height of lowest setting on the rail is 12" from the ground to the top of the rail. The lowest height of a 6 1/2" mattress only on the lowest setting from ground to top of the mattress is 13 1/2". If you have any further questions please contact us at 435-565-4490. Thanks Lightheaded Beds Customer Service

The manual recommends 4" for both. I think its because of the rail on top. I purchased a 6" without knowing and we just use it on the lower bed. Yes its twin beds.

You have about 14" from the top of the slats the mattress will lie on to the top of the rails. We use an 8" mattress with no fear of rolling out.

The frame would work good for either thicknessbut would ffold better with the six inch. A full size mattress fits exactly to the edges

Our mattress is 5 inches thick and the rail height is 11 inches. Would easily accommadate a larger mattress.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

We put an 8 inch mattress on it for our daughter and it was level with the metal railing. She could have easily rolled out of bed and gotten hurt. So we opted for a thinner mattress so she wouldnt get seriously injured.

The top of the guardrail is 11 inches high, so you'd have no protection from rolling off the bed. My daughters mattress is 8 inches tall and I sometimes worry. I guess it depends how much rolling around you do.

Your bed frame probably cannot support the weight of this bed, it must sit on the floor but you can usually assemble the frame around the bed. The bottom edge of my bed is about 9 inches above the floor (on top of carpet. The sides of the bed soft foam covered in cloth. There are shorter legs available I don't know if longer ones are available. If you need a specific measurement let me know. I emailed the seller and he answered me a few hours later, you could try that too. This is a great bed!

This not absolute. Our mattress is approx 9" and it appears to have enough material for at least 2+" additional. You could email the manufactor....

The rails are roughly 11.5 inches above the slats. I have a five inch mattress on this bed, but clearly could be deeper.

The mattress should be 8-44" thick. Anymore will make the bed too high for people under 6' to sit on, and you will hit your head on the drawer knobs that stick out from the headboard in the middle of the bed. I have a 15" mattress and it is a little too high. I'll probably remove the knobs.

I purchased a 8 inch memory foam mattress for bottom and a 6 inch memory for the top,the top mattress do not want any higher because then the child will be with the height of the guard rails almost anyway,they recommend a 6 inch mattress,and they were right,so glad I made that decision,ITS PERFECT,MY 4RS OLD LOVES IT AND SO DOES MY 12 YRS WHO SLEEPS ON THE BOTTOME WHO IS A BIG 12 YRS OLD HE IS 150 POUNDS AND 5"6 WITH SIZE 11 SHOE HAD HAS PLENTY OF ROOM.i JUST MEASURE IT FOR YOU ITS 3 FEET 2 INCHES WHEN HE SITS UP FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE BED ON A 8INCH MATTRESS,HOPE THAT HELPED YOU,REMOEMBER IF YOU PURCHASE A THICKER MATTRESS THAN 8INCH OF COURSE YOU WILL HAVE LESS HEIGHT ROOM

I measured ours & it is 1 1/2 inch thick. We had an old egg-crate foam mattress that we also put on the bed. It is VERY comfortable.

I bought mine for a trundle bed (which has a wooden base), not sure slats would support the 6 " thickness of this mattress. Why not add a 1/4 " piece of plywood for added support. A friend of mine spent the night on that mattress and wants to buy one for her bed.

The deepest depth of mattress should be 5 1/2" to 6". Other wise it is to high on guard rail. Would be dangerous!
