The average height of a mattress and foundation is about 25 so in turn most commercial nightstands are around 24 28 tall.
If you have been shopping for a nightstand the average height is between 24 and 28 inches which match the traditional height of a bed which is 25 inches from the floor to the mattress.
I would start with 27 for the side table or nightstand near table height and then adjust your bed lower from there.
So my point is don t look at just nightstands keep an open mind and you never know what you might find that would work better than your average nightstand.
Three main types of nightstands like we mentioned earlier nightstands come in all different sizes and we could go on forever if we wanted to list every specific kind of nightstand.
