What bed frame height should I choose?

Choose a height that lets you sit on the edge with feet flat and knees roughly level with your hips, which is comfortable for most people getting in and out. Add the mattress thickness to the frame height to find the real sleep surface height. Taller beds feel grand and ease the strain for those with sore knees or hips, while lower platform beds suit a minimalist look and thick modern mattresses that already add height.
