Is it really okay for a tween in an 8 ft ceiling house? Only concern after reading all reviews &amp; Q/A...

I have an 8 ft ceiling and a 5' 3" teen. The mattress in 10" which leave 27" between the mattress and the ceiling. It's enough to sit up but not enough to sit up and stretch.

Normal 8' ceiling is all I have. The ceiling doesn't matter, you will have to adjust the teeter hang up to your height. I'm 5'6 and my boyfriend is 6'4 and we have no problem

I am 6'2" and it is fine for me. I would not put it in a room with less than an 8' ceiling for someone as tall as you are.

I agree with everyone else. My ceiling is 8 feet and I am only using about one foot of chain. It is a gorgeous chandelier and the price is extremely good.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't install it in an 8 ft ceiling. We installed ours in a 13 ft ceiling. I would think 10 ft should be a minimum .

Definitely! We got this for our 9 year old's room and it is great. While our house was being built we put some wood bracing between the joists in her ceiling so that we could hang it into something sturdy. Then we got an eye hook and spring that swivels and it works really well. As long as you screw it into one of the joists or place another piece of wood in your ceiling it will hold a lot of weight. My husband and I both sit in it with 2 or 3 kids in our lap. It's way comfy!

Our proform 1110 E is in our basement. The ceiling in 7' 6" and I am 6' 3" with my shoes on. I have to keep the incline at 0 in order to keep about 1" of clearance for my head. When the incline is all the way up (20), my head hits if I stand tall. If I lean forward (as you would if you were walking or running up hill), I'm ok, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If our basement ceilings were a full 8' tall I'd be fine. If you're under 6' tall, you'll probably be fine too. My wife is only 5' tall so it isn't an issue for her at all. :-D

I have it in my basement. My three kids (age 2, 5, and 7) can all bounce without hitting ceiling. It is not a high ceiling (standard ceiling height). It is awesome because we live in AK and my kids get on it everyday. My 7 yr old will probably be too tall to bounce in house next year.

My ceiling is 7' 6"" and it's no problem. I think you should be ok with a 7' ceiling.

No. I've been trying to figure out a way to shorten as well. My ceiling is avg. around 8-10 ft and it looks just fine. The reason I wanted to shorten so I could shorten certain ones not all.

We have 8' ceilings and I'm just under 6 feet tall and I'm far enough from the ceiling (probably at least 8-10 inches). However, be careful if you have a fan!

It's a regular size twin so the bed part would be fine, but the actually loft aspect of it is kind of lost on someone that age. The ladder and accompanying desk and drawers would seem to small for a 10 year old. Definitely out of range on a preteen.

I am not allowed to hang things from ceiling in the facility where I teach, so did not address that issue when I got them, and they are locked up at the facility. I won't be back there until next week. My gut feeling is no. I think it is too heavy. Rather, you could put it on top of a big ladder, or a high shelve, etc. I love the fact that if the music is loud enough you can set it to sync with the beat of the music and the lights pulse the beat! Totally cool dude :) Hope this helps..if not let me know.

i cant say for sure (im not at home right now) but i can say its very tall. i set it up in my garage and theres only a few inches to spare. if you have a normal 8ft ceiling you should be fine. just be careful while setting it up. also you might want to get sandbags or something as a counterweight. it tends to tilt and slide easily if its not weighed down properly. but i would highly recommend this product for its cost, ease of assembly, and structure. its very sturdy for such a cheap product. the only bad thing i can say is theres not enough counterweight.

I'm 6' and feel like mine is mounted too low on an 8' ceiling. However, people use the door to hold theirs in place and are still able to get good workouts so I would think you could just adapt the way you work out and the length of the straps when doing certain workouts. I hope that helps. I don't recall a recommendation in the manual.

We have 9ft ceilings and there is just enough room. I would not go to 8ft. It is difficult enough now to put sheets on with 9ft. We love this piece and it has worked very well for a smaller room and with my 14 yr old son. It will not be long though that he will need to move up to another solution. Getting too big.
