Proper Nightstand Height As a general rule of thumb, the top of your nightstand should be level with the top of your mattress, or about 2-4” taller. It's much easier for somebody to reach above to grab something when they're laying on the bed, as opposed to reaching below.Nov 18, 2020
How do I know what size bedside table to buy?
The best nightstand height is between 28- 30″ tall. The goal is to get the tabletop to be with an inch or 2″ of the mattress top. When you choose a nightstand this height, you can easily reach the lamp, place a glass of water or grab your book.Dec 18, 2020

How big can bedside tables be?
RULE: Keep your nightstand in the scale with your bed. The average nightstand is 20″x20″ which will work for most beds. However, for larger beds (like a King) you can use a larger nightstand (up to 40″) and smaller beds (like twins) maybe go a little smaller. Design is all about scale.Apr 18, 2018
