*Examples only, not a typical-height range. Actual total bed height equals frame support height + foundation height + mattress thickness.
A standard metal bed frame typically holds the foundation about 7 inches above the floor, and many wooden bed frames use a similar support height. Heights vary: some frames hold the foundation around 12 inches above the floor, while others sit lower. Measure from the floor to the surface where your foundation rests, then add the foundation height and mattress thickness to estimate your total bed height.
Before ordering, call our showroom if you need to confirm hybrid mattress support, a mattress from another brand, frame or base compatibility, split-piece quantities, or access through tight stairs and doorways. Have your mattress model and frame measurements ready so we can help you choose the right fit.
