This bed is beautiful! The measurements listed are accurate as far as I can tell. We have a 17” mattress and I am 5’6” and when I sit up against the headboard, my head is against the top of it, doesn’t go past it. This is perfect since I wanted something tall enough for sitting up in bed. With our tall mattress, the footboard comes up to about exactly the same height as the mattress, which is perfect for what we wanted. The fabric has a soft chenille feeling but seems very thick and sturdy. Our standard king mattress fits perfectly. We’ve slept on it for a few nights so far and I haven’t found any faults. We’re super happy with this purchase!
