I would please like to know, when the mattress is set at the lowest possible level, what is the height from the top of an average mattress to the lowest section of the top rail. We have a very tall grandchild. thanks.

On the lowest setting, the top of our mattress to the lowest rail top is about 19.5 inches. The height from the top rail to the box spring is about 25 inches, so you could do the math if you want to know an exact height with your mattress. Good luck!

You can use the trundle at the lowest level. Once you raise it, it goes all the way up. I leave it down when my granddaughter spends the night. She is 3. She likes it closer to the ground! I raised the top mattress as high as it would go so I could use an 8" mattress on the trundle as well as the daybed.

We used our regular 8 inch mattress for the bottom, but we had to buy a second mattress and went with the 6 inch for the top. That way more rail is above the mattress.

The rails are held up by spring loaded pegs. Pull back on the pegs and you can lower the rails or pull the rails out of the cross bars that go under the mattress. Generally you would just lower the rails so they rested on the floor. Depending on the bed height this would make the top rail about even with the mattress.

It's about 21 inches tall. Our mattress is a 10 inch tall "Numbers Bed" mattress. (If it's not your mattress that is uber-tall but rather the combination of mattress and box spring, you could probably insert the rail between the mattress and box spring.)

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

In the newborn setting (which would be the highest height), the mattress support measures 19 inches to the top of the side and front rails. There are 3 height settings below the "newborn" height...each measuring about 3 inches apart. If my math isn't failing me, it would be 28 inches from the mattress support to the top of the rails in lowest position.

I've got two of these cribs for my week-old twins, so I have both set on the highest setting. If I did the math right, from the lowest setting on the crib, you have 20" to the lowest point of the railing.

The mattress is set rather low into the crib....it could be problematic for a shorter person....unless a thick mattress is used in the crib.�

HiI purchased this for my grandson. It's a great mattress. It's in his toddler pirate boat bed now (little tikes). It fits perfectly. Hopes this helps in some way. Have a great day!

When the baby is so small that you have to bend all the way over to pick her up, the mattress is at the highest level so you are not reaching far. By the time the baby is bigger and more mobile, you have to drop the crib down to the lower/lowest levels (to keep her from climbing out). By that time, she can stand up and reach for you to help out. If you had to bend over the rail and reach all the way down to the mattress placed on the lowest level, yes, it would be uncomfortable (I am 5'4" and this only occurs when my now-toddler refuses to wake up and I have to persist), but that should not happen often at all.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy this bed if I were you the craftsmanship is horrible. The wood split when I was assembling it it was damaged when it came to my house and I'm constantly having to tighten the screws because they always seem to work themselves out. This bed served its purpose and the price wasn't bad but I will be replacing it with a regular bed soon. To answer your question the mattress is about 6-8 inches off the ground and the lower bedrail is like 1ft to 1.5 ft off the ground.

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 .

The bottom of the mattress will sit about a foot off the ground, so add the height of your mattress to one foot to get your overall height. We love this piece! Took a while to assemble, but well worth the price!

It has an adjustment for thick mattresses. My son's mattress is about 10" thick and rail is about 13" above mattress (measuring from top of mattress to top of guardrail)

As far as I know, there isn't any preferred mattress height. It depends on how high you want your bed to be. Mine is lower.
