My mattress is 6 inches thick. How tall will it make this bed in total??

It will make it about 26" tall total. The bed itself is about 23" tall assembled but dips down a bit with the slats that hold the mattress.Get yourself a mattress topper, girl, you deserve it. : )Tons of storage! We added handles in the center to dress it up a bit. You'll love it.

The platform itself is pretty tall. I would say about 2 1/2 - 3ft. I'm 6'2 and I would have to hop into bed with my mattress. Hope this helps.

It will be tall, our mattress was 6 inches thick and we almost had to jump up onto the bed. We are both 5'6/5'7. It was actually an uncomfortable height and we did not have a box springs.

I believe the thickest height is 4 inches but for 6 inches you wont be able too.

1st question: It may work as a futon, but I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. I think a 6 inch mattress may be too thick...4 inches might work better. 2nd question: I think it would last as long as a futon mattress as long as it is covered.

If you bed is at a normal height and you out this on top of your existing mattress it will be about taller.. its better if you just set it on top of the base board only; that way ill be at a normal height and have a better base to stiffen the bottom part of your new mattress providing better memory foam support on your back

As far as I can tell, the mattress is approx. 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick. My is still folded up and in the plastic because I'm only planning on using it for emergencies. I measured the top and, it came to around five inches. I hope this helps.

The bed platform is several inches over my head and I'm 6 feet tall. The width and length are the same as a standard twin mattress.

No, it will be way to high. It comes with bent wood slats sit on the metal edges and flatten when you add the mattress. A box spring would add at least 6-10 inches and the mattress would be higher than the sides.

The mattress expands to about 5" in thickness. That's still shy of standard mattress (which is usually 6"). If height is an issue (as in it needs to be a bit higher), I recommend purchasing a foam mattress pad to go underneath it to bolster it just a bit.

It depends on what thickness of mattress you have (8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch etc.) Ours is 12 inches thick and its around 3 1/2 feet high.

My son's mattress is 10" thick. I would imagine any height is fine. It's the length (twin XL) that matters.

I have a 16" thick mattress, don't know the box spring thickness, and it comes to the top of the footboard and looks ok. I would think you would want a box spring as this frame sits fairly low to the floor. Hope this helps.

It's about 21 inches tall. Our mattress is a 10 inch tall "Numbers Bed" mattress. (If it's not your mattress that is uber-tall but rather the combination of mattress and box spring, you could probably insert the rail between the mattress and box spring.)

Is the mattress extra long? I have this on an air hospital mattress and that is not 8 inches thick. So it probably will fit

The bottom of the mattress sits at 23 inches above the floor. Total height would depend on how thick your mattress is.

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

I have a about 6 3/4 inches from floor to bottom of bed frame. Hope this helps.

The beds are at our second home (apt.) & not available to me to measure mattress height. I have the literature that came with the beds. It states the mattress is 5,5 inches.
