Choosing the right bed frame and mattress height may seem like a small matter, but it directly affects the convenience and safety of daily living. Especially for the elderly and children, the right bed height can effectively reduce the burden when getting up and make life more relaxed.

Why is height so important?
For the elderly: with age, the strength of the waist and legs weakens. A bed that is too low will put too much force on the knees when getting up, increasing the risk of falling. A bed that is too high may make the feet unable to touch the ground and the center of gravity unstable when getting up. The ideal height should allow the elderly to sit on the edge of the bed with their feet naturally flat on the ground and their thighs parallel to the ground, making it easier to get up with force.
For children: growing children's coordination is still developing, and beds that are too high or too low may pose safety hazards when climbing or getting out of bed. The appropriate height should ensure that children can get on and off the bed independently and safely, while avoiding accidental tumbling and falling during sleep.
How to choose the appropriate height?
Measure "Sitting Height": The user sits next to the bed with his feet flat on the ground and measures the vertical distance from the back of the knee to the ground. The mattress surface height is recommended to be slightly lower or equal to this value.
Consider the type of mattress: thicker mattresses (e.g. memory cotton, spring mattresses) need to be paired with a lower bed frame; thin mattresses (e.g. brown mattresses) can choose a slightly higher bed frame.
Reserve safe space: The drop between the edge of the bed and the ground is recommended to be controlled at 45-55 centimeters (for the elderly) or 30-40 centimeters (for children), and can also be fine-tuned by pedaling or steps.
Intimate advice
When choosing a bed for the elderly, preference should be given to styles with auxiliary armrests or rigid hemming.
Children's beds are recommended to be equipped with non-slip carpets or cushions to increase safety cushioning.
A highly suitable bed not only carries sleep, but also protects the stability of every get-up. Starting from the details, make home life full of thoughtfulness and peace of mind.
