See, that is one of the reasons I like a high bed - so the dog can't get on it. But she doesn't climb upstairs anymore so that is no longer an issue.

we got a new bed and you can opt for a shorter box spring since the new mattresses are getting thicker and thicker but if you do that, then you can't put a dust ruffle on it without major alterations which i would never do.

did put a chair next to the bed just in case the little dog couldn't make the jump, she can, but uses the damn chair and jumps up and over my head nightly. gotta love the pets.

Ours is lower now that we took out the boxspring. Since our room is upstairs and under a slanted ceiling, it was a bit too high.

Our box-spring and mattress are resting on a blanket directly on the floor. One of our old dogs was having a real problem getting ine and out of bed so we went low. My child hood bed is really high off the floor. When my nieces were little I would have to lift them into it.

I'm not going to measure it, but mine is low. Just a regular metal frame and the old standard height for box spring and mattress. I've never had a high frame or pillow top or anything else that makes them high. I'm short and I don't want to have to climb. Besides, my three-legged cat can barely jump up as it is. Any higher and I'd have to get her stairs.

High beds are so much fun! I wish my bed was like that, but it has to be on the floor with all the spiders and shit. And no, I don't use pizza boxes for covers; I use Hefty trashbags.

The only think I would worry about is a little one who doesn't understand that it hurts to fall off a big bed.

That's how they learn.

Makes nailing midgets that much harder.

Jes sayin'.

But it's the perfect height to receive blow jobs.

So ghetto.

Do you use pizza boxes for covers, as well?

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On Gammy's feather bed

Our bed is 32 inches to the top of the mattress, too. I got tired of the running jump, so I bought a cute little step stool a few years ago.

Nevermind.

(Last summer I papered the room in a gorgeous toile...)

The bed at my parent's house is high up, not sure how high. In my apartment I didn't use a frame or anything, so it's on the ground and I like it because Kiwi can get on and off of it no problem without any of helping steps.

Actually it IS an excellent strategy. In a survival situation where poisonous bugs and snakes are a concern you better not sleep on the ground. Even though they can climb it is not likely that they will.

The correct answer is:

CLEAN YOUR HOUSE SKANK!

We got a new bed a year ago and I forgot that it was much higher than our old one. I got up in the middle of the night to take a piss, and promptly fell on the floor cause I expected for my feet to hit it once they got over the side of the bed. I love it now, tho. That night, not so much.

Mine goes up to only 24, but it's exact level to my window box so I don't have to climb up or down to sit in there.

It would have to be the top of the butt or the mattress would be on the floor, wouldn't it?

My bed, including mattress and boxspring, is 32 inches off the ground. My mother thinks this is crazy and possibly dangerous. I love climbing up, it's like sleeping on a platform far away from spiders and other crawlies. It's also cool that I can sit with my kid on the bed, and he can look straight across into the mirror on top of my dresser.

Fuck people who think small.
