This nightstand height alleviates the need for people who are standing up to bend over when reaching for items.
Nightstand height compared to bed.
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.
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.
I would start with 27 for the side table or nightstand near table height and then adjust your bed lower from there.
The nightstand dimensions should be checked before you buy to ensure that it will match the height of your bed or your mattress.
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.

Generally nightstands come in two sizes these days 24 26 tall and 28 30 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.
The height of our mattress is about 30 the nightstand is about 25 1 2 and the lamps are about 25 1 2 also.
