Is the bed too high for a 5-year old? After putting on the mattress, how high is the top of the mattress from the floor?

It's definitely not too high for your average 5 year old. I don't have measurements but bought it for my 4 year old granddaughter and she clambers up and down with no problems-- she loves all the bookshelf space and having her own little world up there.

It is pretty high, 29" with the 8 inch mattress that I bought to go with it, so it would be too high for a 5 year old to climb in and out of. However I really love the bed and would highly recommend it, maybe with a little step stool. Good luck!

The bed was purchased for a five year old who is a low motion sleeper. If one of the other children were to sleep in it we would add removal rails. With the mattress we purchased for the bed frame from floor to top of mattress is 41.5 inches. This will vary depending on dimensions of the mattress purchased.

We bought this for our 3-year old (and he is a little dude). At first, he couldn't get into the bed. But after a couple of days, he figured out how to climb up. Now (about to turn 4), he can hop up on the bed. I think your 5-year old will be fine. Hope that helps.

My boys are fine with it. If you're uncertain about your little one, visit a local furniture store to see how your child manages to climb on and off. That's what we did. As for height, I don't think it's any different than any other bed. I do recommend purchasing a few more boards from the hardware store. Hope this helped!

No my average size 4year old daughter hops up there just fine its 2ft. 3in w/ the mattress. Last year she did use a stool though. Hope this helped u out we love the bed lots of storage and nicely made no problems thus far:)

It's been so long since we put it together, I can't recall the specifics. However, in my opinion this bed is safe. When we got it I had a 2.5 year old, who was able to easily go up and down the stairs. My biggest concern with any bunk bed is the potential to roll off. So, we bought a thin mattress for the top bunk to make sure that the guard rail was tall enough. We've never had a problem!

There are 4 height adjustments. We have newborns so the adjustment is on the very top. If the mattress were adjusted to the bottom (when they are older) it would be approx. 24" from the top rail. Hope this helps. When toddlers start climbing out the crib it's time to get them into a day bed anyways.

From the floor to the platform that houses the mattress is 22.5 inches high. I have a 15 inch mattress so we have a 37.5 inch height without the mattress pad, sheets and comforter. It's to high to just back up and sit on you must push yourself up. I use a small stool for my 5'3'' wife. It's a lovely bed just wish it was 6" lower.

I'm in a good mood today.....so I actually went and measured it....22 inches. ....13 inches from the base of the bed to the top...and 17 inches from the ground. ....great bed I have a large 3 year old who fits comfortably in it with lots of room to grow.with my feet hanging off I have fell asleep in it more than a few times,after a good bed time story...this would still be a great buy even if it was priced 3 times higher than it is....

It perfect for an 18 month through almost five year old-depending on how big you child is. My daughter started in hers at 2 and will be 3 soon and is still very comfy in it! I used the mattress from her crib. That's the only size that fits. Only bummer to it is it won't hold adult weight and we constantly have to catch ourselves from sitting on the edge of it :)

23" from floor to top of platform; add a typical mattress (10' - 12") and you may have to use a small foot stool to get in to the bed - I do. Bed is beautiful, nicely made. I looked all over the internet for months before purchase, and don't believe it is available without the headboard.

I would say it's about 12-13 inches. I bought the bed for my 7yr old and we put his regular full sized mattress on it. There is now about 4 inches of space from the top after the mattress is in. Hope that helps!

Yes, the cot seems too short. We tried to use it for a five year old, feet hung over so it was too the floor.

I am 5'3" and I bought this bed specifically because of its height. I do believe this may be too low for someone of your height. However, you may try recreating the crib using the measurements provided and some boxes and see for yourself. Having said that, I have a large family and have seen lots of cribs, I feel this by far suits our needs most!

I bought it for my grandson so it is at my son's house. It's about the size of a regular twin and as far as the height it is very close to the ground, if you see the rollers on this pic it is that height. I also bought the thin mattress that amazon was advertising with this bed it is pretty thick. My grandson has really enjoyed this bed I bought it when he was 5. I wouldn't recommend it for a older person since it is close to the ground, but great for kids if they fall off the bed.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

I would say 4, maybe 3. My son was 5 when I bought it. It isn't nearly as tall as other bunk beds though. It's about chest height for me. The mattress sits down in the top of it so your child would definitely not roll out of it. No box spring needed.

The bed stands at 5'11" - so just under two meters. My daughter's ceiling is 8', so she has just over two feet of clearance above it, which can be snug. But she loves it anyway. She had a very nice twin size mattress, but it was so thick that the bed's railings served no purpose. We replaced her mattress with an inexpensive, 6 inch thick mattress and now she can sit up in bed without hitting her head and the railings are several inches higher than the mattress so she feels more secure. By the way, I've anchored her bed to a 1x6 that is screwed into the wall studs and has ten decorative knobs from which she can hang clothing and necklaces and such. It's gone a long way to feminize the bed for my pink-loving ten year old!

The top of my mattress sits at approx 28" from the floor at newborn height which is where mine is being that I have a one month old. From there the next adjustment goes down approx 4 1/2" from there and the last height adjustment goes down another 7" from there for the toddler bed.

Yes, we have it on a bunk bed for a 5 year old - it's not super bouncy like a regular mattress - but it does the job nicely for this age.

I am not sure - I used it only for children under 10. I only used the 2 mattresses. If you don't get the trundle, you could probably do it - but It'll be high.
