How much space is there between the platform and the bottom rail of the head board? I am wondering if my mattress will be too low for the headboard.

The headboard is just under 26" from the platform. We have a nine inch mattress and it works perfectly. This is a beautiful, sturdy, well made bed. I think it would work with many size mattresses.

There is approximately 24 inches from the bottom rail to the floor. However, the holes where the mattress frame attaches to the headboard are drilled at about 6-7 inches from the floor on the uprights of the headboard. It appears you could cut about 4 inches off the legs but your mattress would literally be resting on the floor.

the headboard can be set up to fit a platform bed or the standard american bed frame. i'm not really sure what you mean by minimum height, but there is some wiggle room so you could drill screw holes where you need them to be. Hope this helps.

Our bed is very high so the headboard does look low with our bed. Don't know what the height is but we put small blocks under ours to lift it up a bit.

My bed frame is too narrow, by a scant few in.s, to hook to the 2 metal "plates", one on each side of inside bottom of the head board. The measurement between the inside of the head board frame is 39 7/8". I don't know if my bed frame is unusually smaller as I got the least expensive one available at the time. I agree with S. Arnold's comment since I'm doing the same.

Also let me add that I have a low profile box spring (4 inches) which makes the height of the bed just right. It's too low (in my opinion) without the box spring and too high with traditional box spring.

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.

21 inches from the floor to the bottom part of the upholstered headboard. I use mine with a regular metal frame and box spring. There is no gap from the top of the bed and the headboard if that's what you were asking.

jack i'm sorry it took so long to respond. there is no head board or side rails, but it is very well constructed. the only thing is that if you buy the 12 inch mattress it is very high for short people. my friend that i bought it for is 5'6" tall but couldn't get in to the bed. i had to take the legs off so she could get in. an 8 inch mattress would have been better

Our mattress and box springs combined is 18 inches. The top of the mattress is 25 inches off the floor. The headboard is attached at the bottom of the slot on the headboard leaving one inch clearance between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the headboard, allowing room to make the bed (you cannot see this space when the bed is made). If your mattress and box is thicker than 18 inches, you may have part of the bed above the bottom of the headboard. If your mattress and box are less than 18 inches, you can adjust the headboard. Hope this helps!!

I am using a platform. I had a platform bed with drawers under that I had an I am still using it. Works great and love my Brentwood 10" HD Memory foam mattress.

On mine it was roughly 5 inches at the lowest hole all assembled. Wouldn't recommend any headboard that has serious weight. The brackets also are for either headboard or footboard, so if you wanted to mount both would require two kits. Didn't find that out till I received them.

I had trouble with the horizonal bar area. We only had one mattress on our platform bed.It didn't require a box spring. Look at the picture closely and that mattress comes up to the horizontal bar _ we had about a 3 inch gap, my pillow would slide right out the back.I really do like the frame. I taped some heavy foam board to the back and we're OK now.I don't think the up right bars will be a problem.

Thanks for your interest in the bed. The headboard and floorboards cone assembled unless some very minor assembly putting anything on the bottom of posts. The rails need to be put together and then attach HB and FB.Sincerely,Russell WestWest Furnishings509-993-0748

12 inch that's all I needed and in my opinion it's not too low it fits perfectly fine into my platform bed. So,my answer is try it out and if you need more you can. BUT the mattress itself is very comfy.

Under the bed is 56 1/2" and it's 14" from the base the mattress sits on to the top of the rail.Hope this helps

I have a similar question... how high is the bottom of the mattress from the floor? Is it the approx 7.5" clearance from the bottom of side rails or the 13 3/4" clearance from the top of the rails, or somewhere between? thanks!
