Can someone tell me the measurement from the floor to the top of the mattress? Our ceiling is 8 feet tall and I'm concerned my son will outgrow this too soon. He's 10 now and I'm sure it will be fine, but I don't want him hitting his head on the ceiling within a year or two. Thanks!

It is 5 foot 7 inches, this is without the box spring. My daughter is 13 and 5' 6" and has plenty of head room.

From the floor to the platform that the mattress sits on is about 58". We have an approximate 8" mattress so from the floor to the top of the mattress is about 66".

I bought this bed for my son for Christmas and he's 13 and loves it. It's 5 feet 6 inches to the top of the mattress we have.

I measured it as 5'6". The mattress you provide yourself of course. This gives my son 2'10" of room. I tried to sleep there once and it was a little claustrophobic with 2'10" of space. I think your concern is worth considering. I hope this helps.

Depends on the age of your child and how high he can jump. In reality, no one needs a 24ft clearance, that is crazy. Our son is 4 years old and we keep this in our basement which is about an 8' or 8.5 foot ceiling. He doesn't come close to hitting the ceiling and jumps on it pretty hard...

I know it has taken me a week to answer this but since the bed frame is not at my house I had to wait until I could get to it. From the floor to the top of the ball is 83 inch plus or minus a little. P.s. my granddaughter loves the bed frame.

The lamp is TOO TALL for your ceiling. We have 8' ceilings and we had to send the lamp back. It hit the ceiling and was too overwhelming for the space.

I think a std 8' ceiling will be fine. Depending on how tall the kids are too.

My son has 9 foot ceilings and I think any lower might be a problem. He can sit in bed and not hit his head as it is. It is a very sturdy bed. The only thing I notice it that it hurts my feet to climb up the ladder barefoot. He has asked for a different ladder if possible.

My daughter just turned 8 months old and she is too tall for this crib from front to back. She cannot rotate around in it and then gets stuck. I am currently searching for a full sized crib and mattress for her. It was a bad choice for us. She is in the 95th percentile in regards to height. We are a tall family. :) Hope this helps and good luck with your search!

I have a older house I think from my daughter's floor to the ceiling was about 12 feet. Stability is great!!! But I live in PA. My daughter just turn 17 and loves the bed!!

We personally did not like this mattress, but to answer your question. My granddaughter has gotten so very tall that she is now in what you would call a junior bed or a small twin bed and we use a Simmons Beauty Rest Med, Firm for her right now. Hope that helps, the important thing is to keep a bed guard up so they don't slip out of bed and as toddlers they seem to prefer a slightly softer bed than most adults can use , indulge them with a plush mattress for a while , it will change soon enough. Thanks for asking.

I am 6' tall and my hair hits the ceiling sometimes but don't bump my head at 85" ceiling height. I would recommend about an 85" ceiling height for you if you don't want your hair to hit the ceiling.

Hi Rolf. I would suggest using this bed in a room that has at least 8' ceilings. That is the ceiling height in our son's bedroom and when he sits straight up on the bed, his head is quite close to the ceiling. And just for reference, our son is just shy of 5' tall and weighs about 120 lbs. (so he's a pretty big guy). We couldn't be happier with this bed - it is incredibly sturdy and provides a roomy full-sized bed on top of a spacious desktop and room to sit and watch the TV that is up on his wall. I would recommend this particular brand bed (or a single-bed version) to anyone! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Hi Rolf.

Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me just how much extra room you had. My husband is 6'1" and our ceiling in 7'10". Can you please tell me the height of the foot pads when they are even? Thanks very much.

The bed stands at 5'11" - so just under two meters. My daughter's ceiling is 8', so she has just over two feet of clearance above it, which can be snug. But she loves it anyway. She had a very nice twin size mattress, but it was so thick that the bed's railings served no purpose. We replaced her mattress with an inexpensive, 6 inch thick mattress and now she can sit up in bed without hitting her head and the railings are several inches higher than the mattress so she feels more secure. By the way, I've anchored her bed to a 1x6 that is screwed into the wall studs and has ten decorative knobs from which she can hang clothing and necklaces and such. It's gone a long way to feminize the bed for my pink-loving ten year old!

Honestly your jumping will not be like a circus act. I jump in my kitchen and the ceiling is probably nine feet and I don't come anywhere near hitting my head. I'm only 5'6" and not sure how tall you are but I've had guys that are over 6' and they don't hit the ceiling. If I had to guess I don't think I come off more than about 6-8 inches. Hope that helps.

It was difficult for me to measure the center height from the floor because it's pushed against the wall with no room to move it out, but I'm thinking about 58 1/2 inches high in the center, plus or minus a half inch. I have queen mattresses with a queen bed frame I got with the mattresses at the store. I thought I would be able to attach the headboard to the frame with the given hardware, but no. The headboard legs are too narrow to attach to my standard queen frame. I have had it for 3-4 months and I haven't problem solved this yet. I just stood the headboard against the wall and shoved my bed against it. It looks good. I need to go to home depot and find out if there are some sort of brackets I can use to attach to the headboard and then to the bed frame. Kinda a pain, but I do LOVE the headboard. It's very gorgeous! I wouldn't want another one, other than the not fitting the frame, it's PERFECT!
