I'm a 69 year old short female person and had for years slept on a Kencaid bed, that virtually required a step stool to climb into bed every night, so I decided to change beds, and go to a Platform Bed that all I would have to do is crawl into bed, I would be able to actually could just set down on my bed .. 

I'm very pleased with my new bed, the frame is heavier than I thought it would be..  Even as an Ole Person I was able to follow the directions and put the bed together without having to call for assistance..   I have a standard Mattress on the frame and a 4" memory foam Topper.  Lets hope it's as comfortable as it appears..
