what is the recommended mattress size for the top bunk?

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

Any typical size crib mattress. We have this crib and LOVE it! I would do the set, you can order the mattress, the crib, and a changing pad together. Email me if you have any more questions about the crib! Caseyspeaker@gmail.comIt did take a long time to put together but totally worth it!

The trundle frame will allow for a mattress 75" x 39" (standard twin mattress) x 10" tall. Please keep in mind a mattress that is 10" tall will only allow for 1/2" clearance between the mattress and the bottom edge of the bottom bunk. You will need to take any bedding into account when picking a thicker mattress.

Standard futon size...maybe full mattress. It fit my son's futon bunk bed perfectly!

We have a pillow top queen and the regular bunkbed mattress. They are both very comfortable, but I wouldn't consider either of them firm. The 7 inch crazy quilt is more firm than the 10 inch pillow top, in my opinion.

I use a regular twin matress. I even put a twin mattress on the bottom so it was more like bunk beds and softer to sit on in the fort.

8 inch for both. But we were a little concerned with the top bunk being pushed up a little higher considering the railing. However, our 6 year old is on the top bunk and has never had an issue "falling out of bed". I would probably feel more comfortable with a 6" for the top if it was my 3 year old. LOVE the bed either way.

I didn't . I just bought two 12" memory foam mattresses and threw them on. Works great, although 10" mattress would fit better for top bunk.

We have a regular full sized mattress on the top and a memory foam one on the bottom. I recommend the memory foam, full sized...at least 7 inches thick.

No. Consider stronger support for top bunk in future. Though my wild child has not broken it yet :)

It would be an awesome mattress for a bunk bed. Not sure if you need 10" though - the 8" may work just as well and save you $$.

I'm not 100% sure about the top bunk, but the larger bed we have had 1 adult 200 lbs and three children. About 50-70 lbs ea. I would advise no more than 125-130 lbs on top.

We bought a regular size for thickness mattress for the top bunk. The rails are plenty high enough to keep kids from rolling off. Our daughter is nearly 5 so she doesn't sleep up there yet since our youngest daughter is almost two and is still in a toddler bed. But I would let our 4yr old definitely nap up there so I wasn't worried about her needing to go potty in the middle of the night! The rails are sturdy but the middle piece that screws into the top and the bottom rail did not have holes in place already and we have never put it on! They are still pretty sturdy without!

The best choice would be a bunk board. That's what mines on. Even if the wood slats are very close together, there still is space and that's not too good for a memory foam mattress (especially one that's 10 inches thick).

A twin mattress would certainly fit, but there is no framing for it. With the framing, you'd have to choose carefully. The area beneath the bunk is the same measurement as the full size mattress.

Any standard sized crib mattress will work. We got the safety first standard mattress (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004044LD4/ref=pd_aw_sims_7?pi=SY115) and it fits perfectly Snug.

Hi Paul. I think these beds would work for you (another tall customer recommended them also). I did some measuring, and they are about 76" long and 38" wide. A regular twin mattress fits with room to spare on all sides. It's about 43" from the bottom frame to the top frame. While sitting up straight on the bottom bunk mattress, my daughter had 2-3 inches of head room above her (she's 5'10). The only issue for us is that it would be nice if our 7.5' textured ceilings were higher for my daughter on the top bunk. She scraped her knuckles the first night. Just takes getting used to. Let me know if you need anything else. Hi Paul. I think these beds would work for you (another tall customer recommended them also). I did some measuring, and they are about 76" long and 38" wide.
