With the metal platform frame that is recommended, how tall is the total bed? Is its height that of a regular bed, or is it too low? Risers work?

The frame is about 14" off the ground and with this mattress it's about 25" from the ground. The frame is divided into two small halves with several legs on each. Risers might be a problem. Not sure.

It fit into my bed frame just fine- it's not as high as slats and a box spring though.

With all of the components put together the bed is at a correct height. For some folks it would depend on what their "regular height" would be them.

We bought 2 twin mattresses, put them on existing twin frames and then pulled the frames next to each other to make one, sort of queen-sized, bed. This allows us to move independently in the bed without disturbing one another. The height of this bed is about that of a regular bed. I doubt if this helps, but hope it does.

It's 23 inches high, so about two feet. It's a very good height for most bed. It's NOT real wood, it's particle board, but I've had it for about 2 years now and have had no problems with it and it's pretty sturdy. I really feel for the price, you can't beat it.

Your bed frame probably cannot support the weight of this bed, it must sit on the floor but you can usually assemble the frame around the bed. The bottom edge of my bed is about 9 inches above the floor (on top of carpet. The sides of the bed soft foam covered in cloth. There are shorter legs available I don't know if longer ones are available. If you need a specific measurement let me know. I emailed the seller and he answered me a few hours later, you could try that too. This is a great bed!

I would recommend it. The bed is pretty high and the platform frame is pretty strong. My kids have jumped on it and it holds both of them.

The bed in my opinion is perfect. you CAN NOT use it with a box spring otherwise you will be way way too high. the bed rail on the side to the top of the rail is about 18 to 24 inches. but the mattress sits down a few inches below that. it really is the perfect height. I am about 5 foot 11 inches and my gf is shorter and we both love it. the lights and everything are great. The ONLY prob we found but we realize it is because we have a small room. watch your knees on the end of the bed. if you have a room like in the picture your fine. but if you are at all cramped for space with the bed in there it will hurt .

We didn't purchase this frame but instead purchased one from Serta which we believe to be the same height as this one. Since the frame sat too close for the floor the bed skirts sold these days at places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, we used the wood risers which we had purchased for the previous bed. (We have seen some black plastic risers which are way too high, but the wood ones worked well for us.) Does this mean that everyone in the USA who purchases a new frame must also purchase risers to use a bedskirt? Seems improbable, but it may very well be the case.

I don't think it will be to low, if that is your preference. I got a higher box spring and it looks great, it just depends on how high you want it to come up the headboard.

12 inch that's all I needed and in my opinion it's not too low it fits perfectly fine into my platform bed. So,my answer is try it out and if you need more you can. BUT the mattress itself is very comfy.

Yes, I think you could easily add the risers but you will need 9 of them, rather than the usual 6 or 4. This frame, however, is already higher than my other full size bed frame so the risers will really boost the frame up.

You need a regular bed frame. My daughter says her bed is fabulous. Her roommate bought a bed for 800$ and it is so uncomfortable. She really LOVES this one. Looks like a regular bed when it is assembled. She was also able to put it all together herself.

It's a little lower than I was expecting, but definitely high enough for my needs. I'm not near it atm, but It makes a bed set pretty much exactly at the same height a regular boxspring & a bedframe would.

Hi Meredith,I'm 6'5" and I think that would be high even for me....the bed itself serves as the box so there should be no need to add one on top

We used a box frame. Wishing we would have bought a low profile box because with the standard box & this mattress - makes a pretty tall bed. Love the mattress though!

We use a standard mattress on ours and for us, the height is fine. I suppose you could put a box spring under the foam mattress to make it higher.

Bed sets pretty high when assembled. Adding more will make it very high. My daughter is 5'4 and pregnant and is struggling some

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

Platform. I don't think you're supposed to use a standard box spring. Either a "base" or a platform bed. It also says never lay them on the floor. ?!? But seriously this is my second one. We upsized to a king. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
