Nightstand height compared to bed.
Tinam61 7 years ago.
Generally nightstands come in two sizes these days 24 26 tall and 28 30 tall.
If you have been shopping for a nightstand the average height is between 24 and 28 inches which match the traditional height of a bed which is 25 inches from the floor to the mattress.
The average height of a mattress and foundation is about 25 so in turn most commercial nightstands are around 24 28 tall.
The smaller size works well with our thinner mattresses from yesteryear or maybe a mattress only situation for a bed with some kind of platform base or slats for support underneath.
Ours is about 4 5 from mattress to side table which is perfect for us right now.
Three main types of nightstands like we mentioned earlier nightstands come in all different sizes and we could go on forever if we wanted to list every specific kind of nightstand.
This nightstand height alleviates the need for people who are standing up to bend over when reaching for items.
So my point is don t look at just nightstands keep an open mind and you never know what you might find that would work better than your average nightstand.
