How deep are the side rails of the top bunk? Would an 8" mattress too thick for safety?

Purchased for Daughter's girls, but I also think 8" mattress is OK from what I remember.

No it is not too thick for safety. An 8 " mattress would would just fine. I think the ones we bought were 8" thick. We love the beds and they look great. We have two of them in one room at a condo we rent. The only down side to the beds is that the top one is really hard to make up.

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

An 8" mattress fits but I installed a bed rail for a regular bed for added security so a thinner mattress would probably work better.

A regular twin - NOT a long "XL" mattress. The mattress I have on it measures 7" deep, which leaves 5" of railing above it, which has been plenty to keep my 8-year-old from falling out of it. You do not need a box spring.

You have about 14" from the top of the slats the mattress will lie on to the top of the rails. We use an 8" mattress with no fear of rolling out.

Our mattress is 5 inches thick and the rail height is 11 inches. Would easily accommadate a larger mattress.

On the one I bought in 2013, from the back of the headboard to the foot of the bed platform is 82-5/8". From the inside of the headboard to the foot of the bed platform is 81-3/4". The bottom of the side bed rails are 11" with 1-5/8" gap between the bottom of the side bed rail the rolling storage units if you buy the rolling storage units. If you have a thick thick mattress it looks slightly odd. My mattress is ~ 14" thick. If I did it again I would have knocked ~1" off the bottom of the four legs prior to assembly so the total height would be a bit less.

I purchased a 8 inch memory foam mattress for bottom and a 6 inch memory for the top,the top mattress do not want any higher because then the child will be with the height of the guard rails almost anyway,they recommend a 6 inch mattress,and they were right,so glad I made that decision,ITS PERFECT,MY 4RS OLD LOVES IT AND SO DOES MY 12 YRS WHO SLEEPS ON THE BOTTOME WHO IS A BIG 12 YRS OLD HE IS 150 POUNDS AND 5"6 WITH SIZE 11 SHOE HAD HAS PLENTY OF ROOM.i JUST MEASURE IT FOR YOU ITS 3 FEET 2 INCHES WHEN HE SITS UP FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE BED ON A 8INCH MATTRESS,HOPE THAT HELPED YOU,REMOEMBER IF YOU PURCHASE A THICKER MATTRESS THAN 8INCH OF COURSE YOU WILL HAVE LESS HEIGHT ROOM

10" will put it really close to the top of the rail. The paperwork says a max of 6". that is too thin to be comfortable in my opinion, so I added a couple slats (1x2s at home depot) and put on 8" mattresses. I wouldn't do 10" if I were you, unless your kiddo won't roll off- once you add the covers, there won't be much of a lip.

Yes, my mattress is about 8" and it works perfect, although I let mine hang over the edge instead of tucking in. I am very satisfied with the quality.

The side rails are 12 1/2" from the base. Add an 8" mattress, and you've only got 4 1/2" rails. The area where the ladder is attached has no guard rail. I guess a lot depends on how old your child is. You could get a thinner mattress too, I suppose. They do make futons that are 6". Hope this helps!

Probably not unless you had something heavier like a plank of wood to brace it down. Here is why: The side guard is anchored down to the bed by using the weight of the mattress against two(2) L-shaped metal rods. Now if you put a sheet of wood between the foam and mattress or put the bars under the mattress it would be ok. We have both standard and deep mattresses (18") and this is the highest quality bed rail we found so far that fits both. I hope this helps you.

I got a 5 inch bunk bed mattress for up top, the side rails are about 12 inches. My 3 year old sleeps up there. My 6 year old chooses to sleep in a twin on the floor underneath. I think you'll be just fine.

im a little confused by your question. we used a pillow top crib mattress which is pretty thick. once the bed is constructed the mattress sits on the floor basically. the head board is a little over a foot and a half tall while the foot of the bed is about 6-8 inches tall. If side walls are what you are concerned with for rolling off and falling out, the sides work as a bumper to prevent that. they range from aprx 8" to about 10-12" in the high points but as I stated in my review, purchase pool noodles for the top edges. slice down the center and slip over the edges.

The rails are roughly 11.5 inches above the slats. I have a five inch mattress on this bed, but clearly could be deeper.

A thick mattress will be fine - but using a box springs will probably make it too high. I love this daybed & it looks really nice...

jack i'm sorry it took so long to respond. there is no head board or side rails, but it is very well constructed. the only thing is that if you buy the 12 inch mattress it is very high for short people. my friend that i bought it for is 5'6" tall but couldn't get in to the bed. i had to take the legs off so she could get in. an 8 inch mattress would have been better
