6. We used an 8 on the top bunk with a bunkie board, and the rail didnt provide any coverage that way.

Either one would be fine. I have six inch ones, and the beds are very comfortable. There are more than the usual number of slats for stability and comfort!

Standard twins are 38". For me this mattress tooks months of out-gassing before I could sleep on it, but it is comfortable.

The futon pad is 2 inches wider and 8 inches shorter than a twin. So twin sheets are fine. I bought sheets with deeper sides to make up for the 2 inches it needed in width.

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

Mattresses are not included. I don't think it would fit a twin xl. I bought regular twin mattresses and they fit perfectly. I went with an 8 inch thick mattress on the top (you could go a little larger) and a 6 inch on the bottom (you could go up to 7 inches but I don't think 8 inches will fit)

A regular twin is too small. We used 2 twins awaiting our new mattresses and they are definitely were like a foot short. A king = 2 twin xl...

My mattress is 8". With the extra 4", I had to buy 3 sets of new sheets, made for 14" mattresses. Amazon prices weren't bad.

The 8" mattresses for both top and trundle will be fine. I did not use a Bunkyboard for either.

It fits a standard twin mattress, which should be a max of 8" thick for safety.

The manufacturer recommends 8" or less, so any of those sizes will work. The thinner the mattress the greater the distance to the top of the guard rail, which is desired for safety.

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.

6" gives you a lot of room 8" will fit ok with room for comforter. 10" will probably fit without anything on it but may be a tight fit. I do want to caution you though. They picture it where it looks like a set. The bed is sold separately.

Great question. I ordered an 8, as it was described as pillow top feel. It was super soft and comfortable. However, I was getting back aches, and I was sleeping hot. I discussed this with Chuck at Dreamfoam and he said that would indicate the mattress is too soft. Before the 60 day trial was up I swapped it out for a 6. It has just the perfect softness. My husband was sleeping on a 5. He was fine with it, but since I was swapping anyhow, I got his side a 4 and he is very comfortable. Just so you know, I weigh 170 and my husband weighs 250 so that might have something to do with the support.

between a 6 to 8 inch mattress. we have an 8 inch which makes it fairly high.
