Please tell me the distance from the base of the bottom mattress to the bottom of the top bunk. I am wondering about head room between the beds.

29 1/2 inches. Kids can sit on it OK but adults have to duck. Not really an issue.

Ummm about 3-4 feet. My 4 year old cannot stand upright. She has to duck down. We all admittedly have bumped our heads occasionally, but not by any means a daily issue! Making the bed is a little challenging for us adults.

The distance is 33.25 inches. I'm 6'1 and can get into the bottom bunk with predictable ducking. The mattresses we have look similar size as the stock picture.

That never occurred to me before, but now that you mention it, the twin mattress we got at Ikea doesn't stretch all the way. It's probably about 5 inches short, but since my son uses the top bunk for stuffed animal storage mostly, it hasn't caused a problem.

your mattress will have to be thin, can't use one with a topper because there isn't enough head room on lower bunk.

68". If you have 7' ceilings then who ever is on the top bunk will have just 16" of space from the top rail to the ceiling. The question you should be asking is how much space from the top of a 6" mattress to the ceiling. A 6" mattress on the top bunk is exactly 5' from the floor. Whoever is on the top bunk will have 2' of clearance with 7' ceilings. Room to roll in & roll out of bed, not sufficient space for anyone to sit upright on the top bunk

I'm 5'4 and when I sit up very straight on the mattress my head just barely touches the top. If the child would be comfortable sleeping in a regular bunk bed with a twin size mattress on the bottom, then they will be fine! I would sleep there with no complaints and my 4 year old is happy there.

I don't see markings on the bed itself and I probably threw out the documentation that came with it. I did a bit of searching online and came up with 250lbs capacity for the bunks (twin over twin size). The full over full version states 300lbs top, 400lbs bottom. I've been in the bottom bunk quite a few times and at 215lbs, so far no issues. I can feel it sag / flex a little, but more importantly to welds seem to be holding up. My 30lbs son likes to jump around in the top bunk. Structurally, I haven't seen anything to make me worry yet at his weight.

My daughter has a full size bed. We have the bottom of the tower just above her mattress and the top almost reaches the cealing

The bottom of side rail is 6" from the floor, the top of the side rail is a little over 11.5 inches from the floor. The bottom of the footboard is 4" from the floor and the top of the footboard is about 18.5" from the floor. The bottom of the headboard is 20" from the floor and the top center if the headboard is 53" from the floor. This is a beautiful bed and the pictures do not do it justice. It is well worth the money.

I added more slats to both the top and bottom bunks, made from a more sturdy wood so both beds have 6 slats underneath. There's been upwards of 300 lbs on the top bed and it seemed fine. Mattress was on there as well.

It's 27 inches from her mattress up to the wood slats that support the upper bunk mattress. My 7 y.o. daughter sits up easily in that space.

I'm in a good mood today.....so I actually went and measured it....22 inches. ....13 inches from the base of the bed to the top...and 17 inches from the ground. ....great bed I have a large 3 year old who fits comfortably in it with lots of room to grow.with my feet hanging off I have fell asleep in it more than a few times,after a good bed time story...this would still be a great buy even if it was priced 3 times higher than it is....

sufficient for my 6'5 son as the lower bunk is lower than a bed with a box spring. Sorry can't give the exact measurement, it is at our lake house

I did this correctly, I measured from the bottom of where the frame is to the ground/bottom of the headboard, which is about 4 inches. However, I also have a low frame. I really can store anything that isn't flat under my bed. I'm not sure if this helps or not. sorry!

We put a 13 inch mattress on both the top and bottom bunks. No problem at all. On the bottom there is still plenty of room, my 8 yr old sits up straight with room to spare under there. On the top bunk, the mattress is almost as high as the safety rails, so I wouldn't put a little kid up there who might roll out.

As is, we (the parents) didn't feel comfortable on the top bunk. But we just added 4-6 more 1X4 slats from Lowe's and now it's a lot sturdier. 2 adults can sleep on the bottom bunk just fine. We love this bed. It's survived two moves so far, and still as sturdy as the first day we put it together.

It's a tight squeeze. I can leave the bottom bed with just a fitted sheet and I have a twin matress without padding on the bottom. If you got bed risers that would give you plenty of space.

If you were to place this unit on a twin bed there is a space of 10 in from top and ten inches from bottom. I love it for my granddaughter she can't fall with this. I like this very much. I feel secure with this.
