How thick should the mattress be in order for the mattress to clear the highest part of the foot board?

From the top of the bed slat rail, which the mattress rests on, to the highest point of the footboard, is 9".

I agree. The height of the mattress isn't an issue, just how much of a roll off lip there is left over. My grandson was quite a little guy when we bought this so I opted for a 7" depth.

After adding a mattress the head board is approximately a foot and 3/4 above the top of the mattress. Good bed for the money. Good material as well.

Yes that is fine. You could even go thicker if you wanted to. The rail is high enough still. It's a really awesome bed. My 5 year old loves it.

The mattress protector has elastic all around the skirt that should allow for the thickness or lack thereof in your mattress.

A thick mattress will be fine - but using a box springs will probably make it too high. I love this daybed & it looks really nice...

The maximum recommended mattress depth is 8". I purchased 8" mattresses for my 4 1/2 and 3 year olds and am satisfied with the 6" of railing that remains above the mattress. If your child is a particularly mobile sleeper, you may want to go with a 5" mattress to get 9" of railing above it.

We have a regular full sized mattress on the top and a memory foam one on the bottom. I recommend the memory foam, full sized...at least 7 inches thick.

Hard to measure an exact depth 1/8" to 1/4". It's not a really cushy pad, but certainly thick enough to serve to protect the mattress from minor issues. Not meant to add extra fluff under the sleeper.

The floor plate is no thicker than an eighth of an inch high. Which is significantly shorter than your threshold. Its definitely worth the investment.

I have 6" mattresses on 2" bunkie boards. Works fine and one could go thicker on the mattress.

Use an 8 inch minimum because of the wooden slots , A 10 inch wood be better.I would not recommend a foam mattress which is too soft, rather one with a sturdy filling.

The highest edge is about 2-2 1/2 feet. You'll have to lean to get your child out of it if it was next to your bed because it is kind of deep.

the matress pad is deep enough for any thickness mattress. Hope this helps you

I purchased with an extra thick mattress and it is working nicely. It gives the mattress support and is not too high.

Think thin. You need a bunky board underneath the mattress and if the mattress is too thick it will be above the rail and therefore unsafe.

I believe it's about a foot deep. I have a nine inch mattress and there's plenty of slack.
