In my previous post, I showed a picture of my current design inspiration. It did, however, raise a question: How high will I have to make the railings? To figure this out, I went back to the Better Sleep Council website. Unfortunately, they do not list thicknesses of mattresses. A Google search lead me to an article that stated beds can be anywhere from 5 inches to 20 inches thick (Belleville). To complete my design, therefore, I am going to have to buy the mattress and boxspring prior to completing the bed, though I should be able to begin the lower portion of the frame because the length and width do not vary.
