I love this bed and the quality!! I wish it were raised just a bit. Getting in it is not the issue, but as someone who is 59, getting out in the morning can be a challenge on the knees. I have a 12 memory foam mattress on the bed, as well as a 3 gel foam mattress topper. 

This bed was very well designed. The slats are the best I have ever had on a bed. They snapped into the frame instead of being held in by one screw in the middle. There were also double the number of slats than most beds offer. Overall, this is a great bed, and I would absolutely recommend it!
