Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal bed height?
The ideal bed height is typically between 16-24 inches (40-60cm) from the floor to the top of the mattress. This allows most people to sit on the edge with their feet flat on the floor and knees at about a 90-degree angle.
How do I know if I need deep pocket sheets?
If your mattress plus topper thickness exceeds 14 inches (35cm), you'll likely need deep pocket sheets. Our calculator provides specific recommendations based on your total mattress height.
Should I include a box spring in the calculation?
Box springs are typically included in the bed frame height measurement. If you're using a traditional bed frame with a separate box spring, select "Traditional Bed Frame" which accounts for this.
What if my bed is too high or too low?
If your bed is too high, consider a lower profile frame or thinner mattress. If it's too low, you can add a bed riser, choose a taller frame, or add a mattress topper for extra height and comfort.
