What mattress thickness is recommended, 8 inch or 6 inch?

Either would work, we used old 8 in that we had but 6 in would allow more head space

Good Morning Matt - The top bunk requires 8" or less to meet the ASTM safety guidelines. The bottom bunk can accommodate any thickness. If you get a trundle you would need a 6" mattress in order to be able to close it freely.

Hey. I think either will work well. I have an 8 inch mattress on mine. The 8 inch is more comfortable when I tried them in the store.

The mattress is the full 8" thick-just took a tape measure to it to verify. FYI all futons and mattresses will lose height with use as you're compacting the material - that's why it's good to turn the mattress over and even rotate it end to end periodically to even out the normal wear. This particular futon mattress has an inner spring so it wears more evenly as weight is distributed better than with a non-inner spring futon. I've used futon mattesses for over 30 years and this one's my favorite. I ordered mine last summer - you may want to contact the seller and verify that it's the same product. Hope that helps.

My mattress is 10" and it fits great. Let's see how I can explain this. After putting it on my mattress there is a lot of the elastic material under the bottom of the mattress which helps keep the mattress protector tight and in place. So I'm thinking it will do the same on your 8" or even help keep it tighter. I'm very pleased with this mattress protector. It's the best I've ever purchased.

I got the 8" mattress for both top and bottom and they're perfect. Here is the link to the Sleepmaster Twin and Full Size Mattresses I ordered for the bunkbed: Sleep Master 8-Inch Tight Top Deluxe Individual Pocketed Spring Mattress, Twin My kids have been sleeping on this bunkbed for 9 months now, and we LOVE it!!! Best purchase ever!!

I use a full size 8" mattress. Remember if the mattress is too tall it'll be higher than the railing.

No, I think it is about right thickness. Not sure if thicker will be better, but I will certainly not go thiner than 8 inches.

If you choose the size of the mattress according to your bed size, then it should fit. The 8-inch is just the thickness of the mattress.

I use a 6-inch foam pad. If you use an 8 inch mattress, there will be ~5 in space to the top.

No, you need to buy a 75 X 54 inch mattress -- we purchased one that was 8 " thick that worked out well.

We went with an average thickness on the mattress because we also got the trundel and need a thickness that works with it to fit under the bed. I think it looks nice and is pretty confy. --Hope this helps

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

It's 8 inches thick and depends on the size you are looking at. Full...queen...king?

We are using the 6" mattress avail on Amazon's website, and I recommend it highly for price and comfort. An 8" mattress would come up to the level of the side rails on the bed, so that would work, too. If your mattress is higher, you can put the day bed (or upper bed) on risers. Hope this helps.

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.
