THE BEDSIDE GUIDE

Measure the last step, too.

The mattress top is your destination. Compare it with the top of the exact stair version, then look at every rise along the way.

Illustrative bedside design and measurement reference
Room and product imagery illustrates the decision. Check dimensions for your selected version.
The destination.

Floor to mattress or cushion top. The frame height is not the finish line.

The whole route.

Walking surface, footprint and room to approach. Look beyond the total height.

The exact version.

Match the option, drawing and setup instructions before deciding.

01 / LOOK CLOSER

Measure the destination, not the frame

Measure vertically from the floor to the top of the mattress or cushion in its normal position. Use the same units when comparing product dimensions.

  • Record mattress-top height.
  • Request the selected product’s top height.
  • Subtract product height from destination height to see the remaining transition.
A stair ending below the mattress leaves another transition. There is no universal acceptable gap for every dog.
Measurements to take before choosing
02 / LOOK CLOSER

Lay out the full footprint

Mark the confirmed floor length and width with removable tape. Open the nearest drawer and door, and leave space to approach from the bottom.

  • The grey four-step reference shows 50 cm high and 70 × 39.8 cm on the floor.
  • The paw-print five-step reference shows 62 cm high and 87 × 40 cm on the floor.
  • These dimensions describe pictured versions; confirm your selected option.
Going taller can cost floor space. More steps alone does not establish a smaller individual rise.
03 / LOOK CLOSER

Inspect the route one step at a time

Ask for individual rise, usable tread depth and width. Check the final tread and the mattress edge together rather than treating total height as a complete fit check.

  • Compare every rise, not only the first.
  • Check whether rounded edges reduce the usable tread.
  • Ask for the setup instructions and stated load limit.
If neither the footprint nor the final transition works, reconsider the position or structure instead of choosing by step count.

Dimensions are transcribed from original listing images for the pictured versions. They are not independently verified and do not apply to every option. Product pages retain those source views.

YOUR ROOM, IN NUMBERS

Check the last transition.

Enter your mattress height and the confirmed height of a product version. Keep the footprint alongside it for your shortlist.

This is a measurement comparison, not a suitability or load-capacity assessment. For ramps, use the top height in the supported setup position.
