Mattress Height Matters
We generally find that our luxury, all-natural Dreamwool Beds sit at about the right height for most sleepers, but what if your unique circumstances require a bit of a lift in the bedroom? The experts at Dreamwool are here to talk bed height, and what you can do if you feel your mattress isn’t quite measuring up.
Why You Might Want a Bed-Height Boost
There are a handful of reasons why you might wish your bed was just a little bit higher off the ground. Perhaps you or your partner are particularly tall, you want some extra storage room underneath, or you simply like the aesthetic of a bed that floats above your bedroom space. Conversely, if you’re smaller, older, or have medical issues that make getting in and out of bed a challenge, a lower option could be better for you.
How high is high enough?
A great way to test the optimal height for your bed is by sitting on it with your feet flat on the floor to see how it feels. If your feet are swinging above the floor surface, it’s probably too tall. If your knees are higher than your hip joint,chances are your bed frame is not quite high enough.
Getting a Few Extra Inches
If you’ve tried the sit test and confirmed that your bed is just a little too low, there are a few things you can try to gain those extra inches!
Get a Lift with Bed Risers
Bed risers are a temporary, easy-to-install solution that sits underneath your existing bed frame to give you a boost. They can be found in a variety of styles, heights, and price points, and can be easily removed and reinstalled from one home to the next.
Buy a Mattress Topper
A mattress topper can be a simple and effective way to get a little more height out of your mattress. This quick and easy option provides an affordable, customisable solution for sleepers looking for a bit of a lift. One word of caution, though – a mattress topper can significantly alter the comfort and feel of your mattress, so be sure you choose one that will enhance, rather than detract from, your overall sleep experience.
Build a Platform
If you’re a crafty person who enjoys a bit of DIY, you can always build a custom platform that allows you to achieve the right height for your comfort and practicality needs. This personalised approach can be a cost-effective way to get exactly the result you want.
When In Doubt, Outsource
If bed height is an important factor for you, the best option will always be to get it right the first time. We recommend coming into Dreamwool for a one-on-one conversation where we can talk about all your sleep preferences and comfort needs.
While one of our standard-height European flexible slat base systems is usually the right choice for most, we are happy to work with you on a custom height a few centimetres higher or lower as needed. Book a chat with Dreamwool Beds today, and we’ll help you find your perfect fit.
