Is a 6 or 8 inch mattress recommended for the trundle bed?

6 inch. You can make the bed with the comforter on and it fits underneath the bunk bed, but you have to leave the pillows off until you would pull it out to use it. We bought this bed for our three kids and they love it. Our son is a big boy and he uses the trundle bed and he loves it. The bunk beds are full over full which is really nice. Over time you may need to tighten up the screws on the ladder and top bunk side rail, but overall it's a nice bed. Nice cherry color. Perfect way to have 3 beds in a room and still have space left! We ordered the signature sleep mattresses also from amazon for these beds and they were perfect. Just a note, the top bunk could use stronger wooded slats that lay across the bottom where you lay the mattress, but that is something you can always pick up at a home store like home depot. We have had the bed for a year and it's holding up well, but we are going to pick up some stronger wood slats soon. Hope that helps!

If the bed doesn't fall apart as you're putting it together, as it did for us, I would recommend 6 inches.

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

Any thickness will work for the top bed. The trundle will accommodate an 8 inch mattress.

I purchased the memory foam mattress for the trundle which has not be used yet and will be using a box spring and mattress that my son will be bringing for the top. Although the memory foam mattress does fit the top and has been used comfortably. I will probably get something to put under the mattress and the space between slats is big. Note - a tall person cannot use the bed, which I did not consider when purchasing

I had a 6" deep mattress on the trundle and it just fits under my my daughter's twin bed frame. Maybe try measuring the mattress depth and add the trundle depth to see if it will clear the bed frame.

I have a 6" on the top where my 8 year son sleeps, and an 8" foam mattress on the bottom. Can't really go more than 6" on the top; don't want a flip-over. On the bottom, the 8" foam has worked well.

I'm sorry but I only bought the trundle I wanted something to put a twin size mattress on it for 4 very large dogs that I have. You would have to know the distance between bed and the floor. I placed a six inch mattress on the trundle and it still was a little under the rails on the side. So of you buy the trundle and the bed you would be safe in buying probably a seven or eight inch mattress. I hope this helps. This trundle is very easy to roll.

It fits a regular twin mattress with room to spare on the main bed (probably a good 4-6 inches at least). The trundle, however, would probably not accomodate an XL mattress.

You will need 3 twin mattresses for the trundle mattress the one on the bottom you don't need to get an extremely thick or plush mattress because the space between the lower bed and that is fairly close. Hope that helps

I use a 6 inch mattress and it works just fine. I think a 7 inch would still be okay.

Good Morning Matt - The top bunk requires 8" or less to meet the ASTM safety guidelines. The bottom bunk can accommodate any thickness. If you get a trundle you would need a 6" mattress in order to be able to close it freely. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

The trundle is a twin size, get a thin mattress, a pillow top would not allow it to close.

We got a 6 and you can feel the bars if sleeping on it. But OK if just the couch. 8 should work great.

The trundle will accomodate a standard 39" x 75" Twin Mattress. It is designed so the mattress sits on top of the trundle platform and will extend slightly over the edges.

I would think so. I guess it depends on how deep the frame for the trundle bed is. At only 6", this mattress is not very deep so I would think it would fit a trundle bed as long as you don't have a very deep frame.

Yes, use no more than 8" mattress because you will also need a Bunkyboard underneath both the top and trundle. Need to also warn you that the middle trundle wheels have "buckled" or "bent" even though my grandkid's weights are under 100 lbs. I contacted the company and though they wrote they would rectify the situation, they never have.

You have about 8 inches of clearance from the trundle to the bed. A 7" mattress would work out fine unless you put heavy blankets on it. I typically keep the sheets and a thin blanket made up and when I pull it out add a heavier blanket if needed.
