My newish bed is very high too , also bought when I had my new hip , I sit on the dge , shuffle my bum back till my feet are off the ground and then swing my legs up and find I am lying on the edge ! lots of shuffling and huffing and puffing and relax !

My bed is high with a deep mattress which we bought deliberately because I was having my second hip-replacement and didn’t want a low bed anymore which I was finding hard to get up from. I’m 5’3 and I sit on the edge lean back slightly and swing my legs round just need to shuffle my bum a over a bit it works well for me. I’ve also stayed in several premier inns most comfy beds ever.

Surely you can sit on the bed and swing your legs around
If you can’t sit on the bed it must be EXTREMELY high
I never found this to be a problem myself

Does anyone else find that modern beds are far too high up to be able to comfortably climb into? Im not exactly a short person at 5ft 5ins, although l only have a 27inch inside leg measurement andsufferfrom Arthritis in my knee.
I have given up staying in places like the Premier inns, l either need to carry a small half step to get into bed which is not ideal, or end up sleeping on the bed settee which is designed for children and not very comfortable.
Looking around the bed stores, this trend for high up beds is a common one, my own bed base isa metal one and over 20yrs old, even with an extra deep mattress on it, it still manages to be at a reasonable height.
