We frequently hear customers complain about the height of today's new bedding.  Mattresses today are taller than ever.  The average height of our mattresses on our sales floor is 13 inches.  Lots of people have beds that were not designed for such tall bedding and consequently they find that new bedding covers their headboards.  Other people say that their small dogs can no longer jump in the bed easily.  We offer several bed frame options that are lower than standard height bed frames, but there are some other things that you can do to  lower your bed. 

 

When you shop for your new mattress set, make sure you ask for the "Low Profile Box Spring" instead of the standard height box spring.  Most major manufacturers offer this option at no additional charge.  Low profile box springs are usually 4 or 5 inches lower than the regular height box spring and they offer the same support and warranty as the standard height box spring.   

 

If you REALLY need to lower your bed, you can check with your local bedding store.  Many stores offer "bunkie boards" that are designed for use with bunk beds.  Usually "bunkie boards" are only 2 - 3 inches tall and should offer enough support for your twin or full size bedding.  Use the bunkie board in place of the box spring.
