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...

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".

It is a little high, but my son who is 5'8" can sleep up there and not hit his head on the ceiling, and we do not have super high ceilings. There is no way to cut it shorter.

Donna, Someone over 200lbs got on the bed and there was indication that it was straining. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it and can sit upright with room to spare. For your average 7 1/2 foot ceiling it is too high for anyone older than a child. John stalvey

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.

Hi Marsha, I just thought I would add that I purchased the 4 ft. ladder and can easily reach our 8 ft. ceiling from the top step. Hope I've been of some help to you. I was mostly impressed with the depth of each step. Makes me feel more secure when I need to climb. Good luck with your ladder purchase, Carol

I'm petite at 5'2" but I have never hit my head on the ceiling with 102" ceilings. The highest part of the bed (the top rail) is 71" (from the floor), and my mattress (not a super thick one) sits at 66" (from the floor), so measure your ceiling height in inches, then subtract 65-70 inches from that, and you'll be left with your head clearance measurement (give or take a few inches depending on your mattress thickness). Whether this is enough or not has a lot to do with how big/awkward/clumsy the occupant is or isn't. My boyfriend, for example, at 5'11" and 185lbs almost always hits his head on the ceiling when he stays over. He is, however, inflexible, awkward, and big. I never hit my head unless I am trying to stand up (bent at waist) to make the bed while IN the bed (which is probably completely impossible for anyone over 5'3").

I agree. The height of the mattress isn't an issue, just how much of a roll off lip there is left over. My grandson was quite a little guy when we bought this so I opted for a 7" depth.

It perfect for an 18 month through almost five year old-depending on how big you child is. My daughter started in hers at 2 and will be 3 soon and is still very comfy in it! I used the mattress from her crib. That's the only size that fits. Only bummer to it is it won't hold adult weight and we constantly have to catch ourselves from sitting on the edge of it :)

On the lower end my young 4yr old did well with it . Used 6 inch mattress abd no concerns on falling off. It should last as long as we want my guess is 8 to 12.

5 ft 7 1/2 inches . Our ceilings are 7 ft 8 inches and we have a 6" foam mattress And my daughter fits comfortably.

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.

Daughter is tall... how many inches do you have from the mattress to the top of the crib? we are looking for a low lying crib, this might be a good option

68". If you have 7' ceilings then who ever is on the top bunk will have just 16" of space from the top rail to the ceiling. The question you should be asking is how much space from the top of a 6" mattress to the ceiling. A 6" mattress on the top bunk is exactly 5' from the floor. Whoever is on the top bunk will have 2' of clearance with 7' ceilings. Room to roll in & roll out of bed, not sufficient space for anyone to sit upright on the top bunk

I have vaulted ceilings in my home so I never measured anything and I have no idea if I measured correctly but I just measured my boys bed from the very tip of the bed to the floor and it says 67 1/2 or almost 68 inches?? Over 5 feet I know that much, not sure on how to add on the rest of the inches. I hope this helps??

I am 5'-10" with an 88" ceiling height. I have the same question. Spoke with Schwinn customer service but they couldn't help. Suggested I go to a store and try it out and measure how high my head goes!
