How thick is the mattress/pillow for the top bunk? I have a 90 lbs boxer who has hip problems. I'd like to make sure the top bunk has adequate padding

It's not a great mattress but you can put a thicker pad over or under it,that is what I did,just so you know it's pretty high,can your boxer jump up ok with his hip problem.it is a quality product,sturdy and I love it

Hello Nisha-I purchased this dog bunk bed last year for my dog (40 lbs). The bed comes with 2 mattresses and I put both on the top bunk for her, which was about 4 inches total in thickness. My concerns with your dog using it would be that the weight limit for the bunk bed is only 50 lbs. Also, with your dog having hip problems, there could be a challenge of them getting in and out due to the height of the top bunk. The bottom portion of the bunk would be too hard for the dog to get in and out of, for the openings are small. I can say this with confidence since I also have an 80 lb dog (lab/weimaraner mix) to compare size and function with. Hope this helps!

Add padding for your boxer. The padding Is good for my 50lb cocker spainel but once washed...they do then out.

We have a 101 lb weimaraniner, and he does great. The covers zip off so you could add to it or change it if needed. :)

I measured mine and its a little under 2.5inches thick however the pillow top it isn't sturdy at all and sinks all the way down with pressure from my cat. It comes with two pillows tops (one for the bottom bunk) you could double up. For me I ended up placing another dog bed on top of the pillow top and my animals love it! Hope this helps.

The pillow isn't thick at all, maybe a couple inches. We put our dog's memory foam bed (3" deep) that she's slept on when it was on the floor and she seems to love that added comfort. Not sure your pup would be able to climb in with hip problems as it is pretty high...

I would say you'd need an orthopedic type pad. The mattress isn't very padded or comfortable.

Hi Nisha,We purchased this bed for our 45lb pit/terrier mix and she loves it. The pad that comes with it isn't great but it isn't horrible. The pad is about 3-4 inches thick but the bottom is hard so that the bed keeps it's shape so I have considered buying the pad that goes with this bed. What I do is put a couple towels and blankets in the bed so she has more comfort. I would consider this bed more for keeping the dog out of your bed but u may have to add to the bedding for more comfort. Hope this helps!

The sleeper comes with a 2 inch mattress. I use it on the bottom bunk and put in a couple of rounded beds for them. For the top bunk, I use a regular kennel/crate pad with a round two inch bumper around the edge. I have little guys - under 20 pounds and the whole gang pile in and snuggle. This is a very well made piece. I have had it for several years now and it is still in excellent shape. I also put a big bean bag beside the bed so they can jump up on it and then to the top bunk. I tried the canine stairs, but the bean bag worked better for my pack. My crew absolutely LOVES this bed. Recommend highly. Hope this helps.... The sleeper comes with a 2 inch mattress.

It's probably about 1 1/2 inches thick - not real firm though. I have 2 boxers as well and they both love it. I add a couple of blankets in there for them to add some extra padding and think they are quite comfortable.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

No. Consider stronger support for top bunk in future. Though my wild child has not broken it yet :)

As thick as you can stand.The side rails on the top bunk are about 12" high. We put a mattress that's about 8" thick and it's fine. We did place small pieces of cork under the slat tubes so they won't rattle. This was before assembly so I can't say if they rattle or not, This was just preventive.

Hello, we have a 90 lb. lab and have had the bed for several months. No issues with sagging at all so far. He absolutely loves the bed so far!

I have the 9-inch premium mattress. It is not bad at all. It is not thin. It is heavy. It is firm and does not feel like an oversize sponge at all.The two other things I did get for mine were a "Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Zippered Bed Bug Proof Mattress Encasement 9" Height - Full Size"and a "Royal Heritage Home Burgandy Full Size Futon Cover"These are not very expensive but make the whole unit seem like it is.

If you are a back sleeper it might be enough. I'm a side sleeper with a really firm mattress. I'm around 140lbs and it's not enough softness for me. My hips still hurt. It compresses a lot and is only about an inch thick to start with.

I love mine. I helps me, but I have to tell you that it is not the only thing I have on there. It is about 4" thick. I also have a padded mattress cover over it, so between the two my bed is soft, but firm. The only problem I have now is having sheets that will stay on it. I am going to try some sheet clips and see if that helps. I hope this helps you.

Not as thick as a regular mattress - maybe half as thick. You don't want it to be too thick though because it needs to bend when you adjust the feet/head. We did have a pneumatic pad on top of the mattress to help prevent bed sores so that added some extra thickness, but even without that it was reasonably comfortable.

Technically, I don't know but I go on the top bunk all the time to change the sheets. I'm 140 pounds. This bed is very sturdy and I never feel like I shouldn't be up there. Hope this helps.

Good Morning Matt - The top bunk requires 8" or less to meet the ASTM safety guidelines. The bottom bunk can accommodate any thickness. If you get a trundle you would need a 6" mattress in order to be able to close it freely. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

We have had this bunkbed for 2 mos. it is not great quality and my hubby has actually had to add things to it to make more stable . There were not enough slats for top bunk so if too much weight was on top mattress would've Fallen through .

I'm not 100% sure about the top bunk, but the larger bed we have had 1 adult 200 lbs and three children. About 50-70 lbs ea. I would advise no more than 125-130 lbs on top.

It's been so long since we put it together, I can't recall the specifics. However, in my opinion this bed is safe. When we got it I had a 2.5 year old, who was able to easily go up and down the stairs. My biggest concern with any bunk bed is the potential to roll off. So, we bought a thin mattress for the top bunk to make sure that the guard rail was tall enough. We've never had a problem!

We have a pillow top queen and the regular bunkbed mattress. They are both very comfortable, but I wouldn't consider either of them firm. The 7 inch crazy quilt is more firm than the 10 inch pillow top, in my opinion.

It feels pretty sturdy however I only used it for a month but my daughter was 10lbs when I moved her from it to a crib, I would have been comfortable with her continuing to sleep in it had I not wanted her to get use to her crib.
