I was wondering what thickness of a mattress is everyone using? would a 6 inch foam mattress be to short?

You'll jut sit lower then. I have beauty rest memory foam plus pillow top so part of my head board is covered. Just keep in mind it's a platform not a regular box spring.

I have a platform bed mattress which is 12 inches deep. I would not want anything thinner.

Our mattress is about 18 inches thick... 6 inches would be too thin and would not provide enough support, I don't think.

Hi,When I received the item it appeared to be really thin as opposed to my previous 9" mattress. After measuring the item, it was only 5". I had to return the item and purchase another mattress.

I use pack n play/play yard size. I use this mattress just for some extra padding in our play yard for weekend trips; I would not use as a main mattress. Way too thin.

will 6" fit in the space you have? are you replacing foam with foam, or was the original material foam? It is firm, but I used it on a love seat, and it worked well, because the original material was quite like it.

I bought a basic memory foam 8" mattress on amazon, it was the top result and cost me about 80 bucks. I get compliments from guests on the comfort and I just keep a pretty printed twin fitted sheet on the bottom when not in use and it looks great.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

It is a total of 4" (2" of memory foam and 2" of other foam underneath). This could be a problem if you are calculating depth for sheet sets; you need to add 4" to your current mattress.

I use a 10 inch memory foam mattress and the spaces between the slats are not noticeable, not sure about a 6 inch mattress but I think it would be fine.

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.

Standard twin fits fine. We have a 16 inch twin foam mattress on it and works just fine. We are very pleased with the drawers underneath. They work just fine. Takes a little work to assemble...but nice when done.

This mattress is very comfotable. My guests have confirm this. It is worth the price. It is a 6" mattress.

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

I bought the mattress. I went to the makers site and read allthe specs there. It is very informative. Go there and find your answer.

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

Hi Barbara, We actually bought this for a client who needed some modifications to a memory foam mattress. It fit well for him. There are so many kinds of foam products out there though the key thing is being sure you buy a pad that will fit the depth of your mattress. Measuring should be fairly simple and just be sure to order the right size of pad. Good luck! www.pamelahopedesigns.com

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.
