What is the size of the opening from the right of the ladder to the other leg? I'd like to put a full mattress underneath coming out the other way.

The distance between the right edge of the ladder and the front right leg is 61.5 inches. As a standard full sized mattress is 54 inches wide, it should fit under the bed with room to spare; however, as there is only 28.5 inches of clearance between the bottom of the bed and the floor, you could only place a mattress directly on the floor and it would need to be thin. Regardless of the mattress size, there is not enough clearance under the bed to sit on a mattress. Even my three year old would crack her head upon sitting up if her 8" mattress were placed under the bed.

A futon might fit because it could curve up a little, but I don't think a mattress would fit.

You don't have to, but when I bought this, I purchased a ladder separately. It was about $40 and made by the same company. The ladder came with metal hooks that hook over the edge near the bottom of the mattress. I think you could attach it with screws, but we didn't. We move it back and forth. You could also climb up onto the bed from either end, but we have one end against a wall and the other is not very accessible as well.

I forgot to add, the ladder leads up to a tiny opening in front of the house, my 16lb cat also can not use this.

no the ladder comes in a box frame fully assembled and fits inside it pretty much exactly, there is no room to cut off 2 inches as the ladder doesn't pack that small in the closed position.

Hi, only the part that is on the floor under the bed is that size. It's about 2" thick that comes up the bottom of the box spring and mattress. I love mine, it's the second one I've had. The motor went out of the first one after 2 years use. It was cheaper to order a new one than to get it fixed. Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee it!!!!!!!!!

about the same space as original, the ladder ain't as big as I thought its just the right size, if your in a space that has more space one way than the other u might have to flip ladder verticaly and then back depending on the specific moves

That was my issue. The width listed is not of the bed but of the bed plus ladder (while slopes outward). So turned out not to fit. Note that shipping to return this bed can cost as much as the bed itself and the supplier does not cover return shipping. So if you get it and it is the wrong size you either end up paying, say, $500 in return shipping or have to try to sell it on Craigslist, eBay, or similar. I explained my situation to supplier and they were going to try to help me, but then ... no response.

5.5 inches when completely filled up, since it is all fabric you should have no problem fitting it under your bed if you fill it up to around 4 inches

Our was sealed tight in a plastic bag. it was pretty long, but not very wide. My husband was able to wrangle it up our stairs into the spare room on his own (with a bad knee that he recently had surgery on). We sliced open the bag on the sides and were easily able to maneuver the mattress in the position we wanted.

The flap that goes under the mattress is only 11 1/2". It slides out too easily with the weight of the remotes, kleenex box, etc. It probably should be extended another six inches to help hold with the extra weight.

That should work, it is made for smaller openings. NOTE this was for the ladder only, I was expecting the door and frame, I had to build that. also this does not seem suited to heavy use, if you will be going up and down a lot you may want a heavier duty ladder.

We got it thru a 24" doorway. We took it out of the box in the living room and dropped the back of the couch down into the bed position. It was then like carrying a full size mattress. Wait to screw the legs in until you get it into the room.

Finished opening minimum of 15" wide by 21" deep. Note that because this doesn't just fold and swing into the opening (it telescopes and then slides up and back), ther is additional clearance space required inside the attic behind the ladder.

hello, it doesn't open. Twin mattress fits snugly on the bed not underneath =)

When open, the ladder is 51 inches to its highest point, the top of the tool tray. The highest step is the platform which is 33.75 inches from the floor. The floor space needed when open is 20 inches wide by 32 inches deep. When closed, the ladder is 55.25 inches high and 4.75 inches thick.

Could someone please tell me the height from floor to underneath drawers? Greatly appreciate your help.

I have same mattress, fits perfect with full support. Slats about 12 inches from floor yet not relevant to mattress fitting. Make sure bolts are tight so slats don't slip out. Minor issue that was user induced!
