The lowest part of the frame is 11 inches up from where the mattress sits, so I would recommend a mattress less than 11 inches thick. I am using a 9 inch mattress and after the bedding is on, it looks perfect.

Hi, I have a tempur-pedic mattress on it which is quite thick. It's larger than the standard coil mattress in thickness. It reaches to to the bottom of the low section of the frame's arms.

No. It's thicker than the hospital bed mattress that was supplied with the bed.

I have it in speciafically an RV mattress which is what it is sized for which is about 5-6 inches thick. I use it in a kids loft as a spare bed.

A thick matress is all I remember and I used it everyday for about a year and it stayed comfortable. I didn't feel any springs if there were any. The mattress is supported by thick wooden slates. At the time of ownership, I was 250lbs. As this is supposed to be a rollout and I used it everyday combined w/my weight, the wooden supports sagged somewhat and created s sort of minor bowl effect. I contacted the company and they simply adked me how many replacement wooden support slates I needed and they sent it out immediately w/o charge. It was like new after the replacementd were put in. I found it comfortable and easily rolled-away when not in use.

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.

Any of the gel foam mattresses would be good, but the thicker dream foam version would be ideal for a bigger guy.

I can not tell you about the 8 inch version but from everything I have read the thicker the foam mattress the softer it should be. Hope this helps

I bought the 2 inch for a regular mattress, however, for a camping cot I would think the thicker would be more beneficial.

5 1/8" thick or less, according to Ikea. I bought this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GO8Y6BQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) and it is comfortable and safe for my 3-year-old child. I did have to put a rolled up blanket at the end of the mattress to make it more snug.

it is pretty dense....it holds up to our weight (250# each). We put it over our matress in our 5th wheel. We sleep so much better. It really is a great product. Better than I thought it would be. The actual thickness is about 4 inches.

Any mattress will work. We did add about 6 extra slats to support weight of multiple kids or an adult on the top bunk.

I measured ours & it is 1 1/2 inch thick. We had an old egg-crate foam mattress that we also put on the bed. It is VERY comfortable.

This is 3" thick, and I thought of medium support. It went on top of a very firm mattress and made it feel like a nice memory foam mattress. I have two Tempurpedic beds. This was for my daughter's apartment. Made an uncomfortable bed feel awesome. So, I would say medium-soft density.

It is almost 13 inches thick so you would be pushing it with standard queen sheets. I use deep sheets which are meant for the thicker mattresses and they do work just fine.

my mattress is about 10in thick and there is a lot of space to spare if it was thicker, so i would say deep

I bought a thicker mattress. The same size that came with the cradle. I believe it says what size the mattress is. Been a while now. Nice cradle.

10" thick with 2.5" memory foam comfort layer and 7.5" polyurethane foam base This mattress is AWESOME! I got it for my mother and I sleep on it when I visit her and it has totally ruined my bed, haha... so I have to buy one for my bed.
