Matching mattress thickness with bed frame height: A scientific guide to rising comfort

The thickness of the mattress and the height of the bed frame not only affect the beauty of the bedroom, but also directly affect the comfort of getting up every day and the convenience of daily life. A coordinated height combination makes every get up easy and comfortable.

Why is height so important?

The ideal bed height (i.e. the distance from the upper surface of the mattress to the ground) should allow the user to sit with his feet flat on the ground and his thighs parallel to the ground, without excessive bending or strenuous support when getting up. For adults, this height is usually between 45-55 cm, but it needs to be adjusted according to the individual height.

Matching principle: balance thickness and height

The common mattress thickness is between 20-30 cm, while the height of the bed frame varies greatly. Please refer to the following formula when matching:

total height of the bed + mattress thickness

Thin mattress (≤20 cm): Suitable for high bed frames (such as box beds with storage boxes) to ensure a suitable total height. Avoid getting up too low.

Standard mattress (20-25 cm): It is most flexible with a medium-height bed frame (such as a flat bed frame), making it easy to reach a comfortable height.

Thick mattress (≥25 cm): suitable for low bed frames to prevent the total height from being too high and affecting the safety of the bed.

Considerations of different groups of people

For the elderly or those with limited mobility, the bed surface can be slightly higher (50-55 centimeters) to reduce the burden on the knees and waist when getting up.

Adolescents: Choose an adjustable bed frame to adapt to growing changes.

Prefer to sit on the edge of the bed: Make sure the height of the bed allows your feet to easily touch the ground.

Small tweaks, big differences

If the existing combination is not ideal, it can be fine-tuned in the following ways:

Add or remove bed substrate to adjust bed frame height

Use a mattress of moderate thickness for height fine-tuning

Choose a modern bed frame with height adjustment

The comfort of a bed begins with lying down, but is achieved with every easy get up. Take the time to find your perfect height match and start every morning in peace.
