To be aesthetically pleasing, how thick a mattress would look best on this? I'd like to go maximum thickness for comfort, but it needs to look good.

A thick mattress will be fine - but using a box springs will probably make it too high. I love this daybed & it looks really nice...

I put a bunkie-board on the slats and a standard inexpensive twin on top of the bunkie-board. I covered it with a bedspread and put three inexpensive queen pillows with sham covers that match the bedspread across the back. I also put on a tailored bed skirt so I could use the space under the bed for storage, and tucked in the bedspread on the front and ends of the bed. It looks great and everyone who has slept on it says it is extremely comfortable. Hope that helps.

I have a pretty thick mattress and it still looks good. I have a pillow top on it too. Looks great

I can only answer what I think looks good. The mattress I got for this bed is a 8 inch thick Tempur-pedic type mattress. It is firm but comfortable. I think it looks good.

We went with an average thickness on the mattress because we also got the trundel and need a thickness that works with it to fit under the bed. I think it looks nice and is pretty confy. --Hope this helps

I bought a rather thick mattress but no boxsprings because I wanted comfort. It wasn't the cheapest nor was it the most expensive, I guess middle of the road. I also put pillows on the backside.

Queen--very nice looking. Prepare to Gorilla Tape the slats tht hold matress in place or they slip out--not hard to do and it works well.

It's not nearly as firm as I thought it was going to be. I also have a King and Queen from another company on Amazon which were advertised as firm and definitely lived up to that description. Anyways, my point is, if firm is what you're looking for then you won't find it with this mattress. You'll "sink" into this one and that's probably not what you want.

I would think it would certainly add quite a bit of softness. However, it feels like jell foam pockets and it probably wouldn't fill up where it dips down and make it level. It would have to be an improvement as it was a big improvement on an old mattress.

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.

This is a great frame for this type of mattress. You'll be surprised with the quality and how sturdy it really is. I'm going to buy another. Good luck and I know you'll be satisfied.

The edges all around are not as firm as they should be, there is a small visible incline. On the plus side, the mattress is pretty even and firm about an inch from the edge that it's not a big problem. It's more noticeable to the eye than when you're actually laying on it. I should say it's on a bunk bed so there's not much sitting on the edge of the bed or rolling over where it could be a bigger problem.

I found my bed more comfortable with this on, and my bed was already soft to begin with. Soft and comfort are both subjective though, so I can't guarantee you'll have the same experience.

The more plush the mattress, the softer it should be. I bought this mattress almost a year ago and I don't regret it. I love this matress. I am a side sleeper too and I sleep very well. I am even so comfortable that I find myself sleeping on my back a little more.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

I am looking for a thin duvet insert, not fluffy, and thick, it's to stuff and not sleep with. Please give me the measurements of thickness on this cover.

Hi! It's not thick enough to alter the feel of your mattress. I bought to to protect my investment! I would suggest a memory foam or down mattress topper for adding "Cush". Hope this helps!

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

yes, it would look very nice. However, I have a queen and I wish I got the king size. Also, it is not cotton it 100% polly. I us it for looks only...over a down.

I think it would be great on a dorm room mattress. I remember the uncomfortable mattresses during my college days and I would have been the envy of everyone if I had had this then. Its not extremely thick but I think it would be a great asset for any student.

It's quite thin and meant as more of a mattress protector than a "topper." It will not add any softness to the feel of a mattress. I think you need to shop for a topper made of a few inches if latex, memory foam, or other soft material.

I'm using this mattress with a hand-me-down evenflo p&p. So far I have it in the bassenet part and it serves it purpose. I do think it is a little on the soft side, but some of this is due to poor underneath support. I think there will be an improvement when i move it below. No gaps around the edges is a plus. I'm not sure how it would fit other brands. I measured to assure an extra tight fit and recommend others to do the same.
