It's difficult to determine which mattress thickness is best.

It depends on your unique sleep needs and preferences.

Thick mattresses are heavier, which makes them difficult to flip over or move.

Support is adequate with a thinner mattress.

The 3 heights are as follows:

• 8-inch: Provides firmer support and thinner comfort layers. Ideal for kids and teenagers, especially those who sleep on their backs or stomachs.
• 10-inch: Fits all sleeping positions (side, back, stomach, and combo). Not suitable for people heavier than 230 pounds. Provides excellent comfort and support
• 12-inch: Versatile mattresses that can be used for all sleeping positions. Plus-sized sleepers prefer it to a 10-inch mattress. Exceptional comfort and support. Check out the Saatva Classic. It's the #1 hybrid innerspring mattress (for a reason!). Incredibly sturdy and comfortable.

The thickness of 10-14-inch provides body-conforming support and usually lasts for 10 to 15 years.

The overall height of your bed, including the bed base and mattress, should not exceed 25-inch.

The standard bed height sits at approximately 25-inch, measured from the top of the mattress to the floor.

Toppers can be between 2-4-inch thick.

The ideal bed height for you highly depends on these 4 factors:

• Your height
• Your age
• Your sleep partner
• Your personal preferences

Mattress type doesn't affect mattress height.

Choose your mattress height based on these 4 factors:

1. Your sleeping position:

• Side sleepers: 9-14-inch thick mattresses provide plenty of cushion for shoulders and hips.
• Back sleepers: Require 9-12-inch thickness for correct spinal alignment.
• Stomach sleepers: Use a 9-inch mattress to reduce spinal mesh.
• Combination sleepers: 10-inch mattress with a medium feel is the best option.

2. Your body type:

• Lightweight sleepers (less than 130 pounds): 9-inch thick mattresses are a suitable choice. Thick comfort layers conform to their bodies, reducing aches and pressure points.
• Average sleepers (between 130 to 230 pounds): According to their sleeping position, they may choose mattresses that are between 9-inch and 12-inch thick. Medium firm beds work best for most.
• Plus-size sleepers (above 230 pounds): 10-14-inch thick mattresses with a 4-inch comfort layer are ideal for them. Mattress sinkage can be prevented by thicker comfort layers.

3. Your sleeping preferences:

• The right mattress height for you depends on whether you sleep alone or with a partner.
• A thicker mattress with a tall base layer can be more supportive than a thin mattress.

4. Specific medical conditions:

• Certain medical conditions might require firmer mattresses with thinner layers.
• Medium-firm mattresses in the 8-12-inch range are good for people with back pain. They are firm enough to prevent mattress sinkage while soft enough to conform to your spine's natural curvature.

Note: Make sure you understand how the materials used in each layer affect the feel of your thick mattress. Most sleepers feel comfortable on a medium-firm bed.
