When the mattress is in the highest setting (for a newborn) how many inches is it from the top? I don't want to bend down far to get the baby

With the mattress in it at the highest setting there is 4-5 inches depending the mattress thickness that you buy

I believe it is around 14 inches? I am 5 foot 1 and I was able to easily set the baby down or pick him up. I love these cribs!

Very little bending. It has 4 height adjustments and the top setting was too high for my comfort for a newborn. But would be good for reaching from your bed to get baby out. I still love this crib!

That never occurred to me before, but now that you mention it, the twin mattress we got at Ikea doesn't stretch all the way. It's probably about 5 inches short, but since my son uses the top bunk for stuffed animal storage mostly, it hasn't caused a problem.

I would say 2-3 inches.. Let's put it this way.. I felt I needed to get a box spring.. or at least have a board on the bottom of the mattress with no box spring. I opted for the box spring (on sale, dirt cheap, at BJs.. )

It is 12 inches from the ground to the base of the cradle. From the base to the top it is 13 inches. Our bed with the box spring is 22 inches. It could work with how you are intending to use it. It would seem that you will be able to see the baby through the mesh with your bed being on the floor.

The height of the mattress can be adjusted by moving the four bolts. The mattress we got can be flipped from infant to toddler firmness when that time comes.

I purchased this for myself. The mattress is about 12 inches from the floor. I have about a 8" mattress with no box springs...for a younger child I would not use such a thick mattress. You can always us bed rails for awhile...I really love the bed .

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

The highest edge is about 2-2 1/2 feet. You'll have to lean to get your child out of it if it was next to your bed because it is kind of deep.

When the baby is so small that you have to bend all the way over to pick her up, the mattress is at the highest level so you are not reaching far. By the time the baby is bigger and more mobile, you have to drop the crib down to the lower/lowest levels (to keep her from climbing out). By that time, she can stand up and reach for you to help out. If you had to bend over the rail and reach all the way down to the mattress placed on the lowest level, yes, it would be uncomfortable (I am 5'4" and this only occurs when my now-toddler refuses to wake up and I have to persist), but that should not happen often at all.

I assume you mean the piece the mattress goes on, and yes. There are four settings I think, the highest setting is fine for newborns. That's where I have it for my two month old.

The mattress is about an inch, I think - smooth but not soft. I would not think there were any risks to infants.

I measured it at 14 inches at it's lowest without mattress. Of course, since it's adjustable, it can go much higher while keeping it flat.

I think it means the mattress can be placed higher (for a newborn) or lower like the photo shows for a toddler.

My mattress is thick ( pillow top), so it is about 35" to top of mattress. the top of the base is 23", so add your mattress thickness to that to get your mattress height. The bed looks great, but to be honest the drawers are a little flimsy and it came damaged (don't know if it was from the warehouse or shipping). Other than that we really like it. Hope this helps! -Brad

I DID find it too tall, I'm 5'3" and put baby to sleep first in my arms then had to gently place her down. I didnt realize the crib was so tall until i put baby down on my nephews crib who was down all the way. I had to remove the decorative first bar in order to be more confortable.

I've used this mattress with my two year old since she was 6 mos and am using a second one with my three month old. So far, I've not had that problem. The mattress is flat.

Unfortunately the mattress is not firm. But we placed blankets down and swaddle her. She is now 4 months and just moving out of bassinet. I love it and think it's worth the money. My parents didn't like it because they wanted something bigger. But it's easy to move and place next to bed because of the height
