how tall are the guard rails? I'm trying to figure out the right depth for a mattress.

the guard rails are pretty high I have a twin double sided pillowtop on my sons bed

We have a standard twin mattress and it only takes up about half the height leaving a good 6-7 inches free

We have a standard mattress on there (no box spring) so my son has probably at least 6 inches of the guard rail above the mattress which seems to be enough. My guess is if you also had the box spring there wouldn't really be any guard rail above that.

My twins managed to pull the guards right off the rails. I returned these, went to JoannFabrics and bought strips of felt about 12 inches wide. I cut slits in the felt and tied them on the rails. Worked a million times better then these guards.

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

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!

I'm not sure about the mattress height but it almost doesn't matter. Our rails broke within a month or so of buying the beds, sending my then 40 lb son hurling to the ground. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He simply leaned over it to throw his shirt on the ground. The rail snapped in half right in the middle. Then the support beams under the mattresses broke as well. They wouldn't let us return it so we separated the beds. Couldn't trust the whole thing wouldn't collapse and kill our kids. Most recently, one of the beds literally fell apart when my son sat on it. We have only had these beds about 14 months give or take a month. I wound definitely not recommend these beds to anyone. Buyer beware! Very dangerous.

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.

The rail fits between the box spring and the mattress so the height of the box spring should not affect it.

Yes, my Mom's bed is a 8" memory foam mattress and it was about 2" above her mattress. My husband drilled another set of holes in the rails so the rails would fit lower than the mattress. BTW my mom really like the bed rails. She feels safe and she uses them to help her turn at night.

Sorry, can't tell because I got the Queen and King sizes . The Queen and king are definitely over sized to fit deep mattresses.

my mattress is 16" deep and they fit and have some room left. I don't want to say for sure but it might be a tight fit.

From the mattress base to the top rail is 13". Put a mattress in and you have around 5 to 6 inches from the mattress to the top of the rail.

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.

I would say pretty deep since I used them with a upgraded serta mattress with a foam topper alsoI have everything in storage right now so I can't give u exact measurements I would definitely buy another set

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

12" from ground to bottom where mattress would rest. 26" from top of rail to bottom where mattress would rest. I love it, best thing as well as the high chair. My grandsons have used both since they were born.

We bought a standard twin mattress. It was 8 inches thick. The total depth of top bunk from bottom to top of safety rail is 15 1/2 inches. Our 7 year old has had no issues. This is a very nice bunk bed.
