As far as beds are concerned, people typically worry about having a comfortable custom mattress and a stylish headboard. However, do you put much thought into the height of your bed? A too-tall setup, for instance, can place strain on your body and be potentially dangerous. Below, Custom Made Mattress of North Carolina in High Point shares some factors to take into account when selecting a bed height.

What You Should Consider When Finding the Perfect Bed Height

1. Preference

You know what feels best for your body. If a low mattress allows you to easily roll out of bed in the morning, then go with a shorter frame. Some people prefer a higher profile bed because they enjoy stepping down before a morning stretch.

2. Leg Length

For a chair to be comfortable, most people require the ability to have their knees at 90-degrees with their feet flat on the floor; this is typically true of standard 18-inch chairs. If it’s not easy to get out of these seats, consider placing your bed at a taller height to better match the length of your legs. Your knees should be at a minimum of 90 degrees when you sit on the edge of your custom mattress, so it’s not painful for you to stand up when getting out of bed.

3. Sleep Style

Many people get up several times in the night to get a drink or use the restroom. Your bed height must facilitate these needs safely. That means you should feel confident slipping out of bed in the dark. If a taller bed makes you feel unsafe, opt for a shorter stature frame and custom mattress. Individuals who fall out of bed due to nightmares or move a lot in their sleep and might accidentally end up on the floor should also choose short frames for their personal safety.

Choosing the perfect bed height can not only keep you safe and happy, but you might also be surprised by how much better your joints feel. To talk about custom mattress options to further improve your sleep, call Custom Made Mattress of North Carolina at (336) 431-3422.
