what thickness mattress should i use for this bed

A regular twin mattress will be fine. We bought premium memory foam beds. One thing to note is that the height between mattress and second bunch is not that high so a thinner mattress on bottom bunk might be better. My 4 year old can easily bump her head getting out of bed.

your mattress will have to be thin, can't use one with a topper because there isn't enough head room on lower bunk.

I think my top mattress is about 5 inches thick. The bottom is closer to 8 inches. I'll check again to make sure. We've had the bed for. Month for two girls ages 6 & 4. No complaints!

We used a twin sized foam mattress for the bed which was 6 inch thick. There was a small gap in length but not in width that could fit a full mattress.

My mattress is only 8-10 inches thick, but there is a lot of extra room with the pad. I have to tuck the pad in all the way around. So it would fit a thicker mattress.

Ms. Williams, if you wanted a thicker pad, it would be best to buy 2 or more pads, depending on thick you wanted your sleeping pad.Considering that they are 1/2" thick, the most I would recommend is 3, which would give you 1.5 inches in thickness if you put them all together.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

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 use a 6 inch mattress and it works just fine. I think a 7 inch would still be okay.

which thickness mattress are you referring to? They come in a variety of thicknesses. If you're looking for a mattress to take back packing consider a 2 inch thickness as maximum. The 3 inch is very difficult to roll up.

This is 4.5 inches. You can use it but then you need to check dimensions but I think you should buy something thicker. just search for futon mattresses on amazon.

Any thickness will work for the top bed. The trundle will accommodate an 8 inch mattress.

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

The mattress is the full 8" thick-just took a tape measure to it to verify. FYI all futons and mattresses will lose height with use as you're compacting the material - that's why it's good to turn the mattress over and even rotate it end to end periodically to even out the normal wear. This particular futon mattress has an inner spring so it wears more evenly as weight is distributed better than with a non-inner spring futon. I've used futon mattesses for over 30 years and this one's my favorite. I ordered mine last summer - you may want to contact the seller and verify that it's the same product. Hope that helps.

my mattress is about 10in thick and there is a lot of space to spare if it was thicker, so i would say deep

I have a standard thickness mattress and it fits very loose and baggy on top, so if you have a more modern, thicker mattress, it will fit much better, but I do not know the actual thickness measurements. I will just say it is meant for the newer thicker mattresses. I hope this answer helps.

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

A flat sheet is best. It is very high and no sheet or mattress cover is deep enough. I used a cotton quilt with a flat sheet over that.

Any mattress you find comfortable. I went to a mattress store and chose what was comfortable. Depth was not an issue.
