How tall should a nightstand be?

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.

A taller nightstand also prevents you from having to bend over when you’re standing up and want to grab something from its surface. The average height of a mattress and foundation is about 25”, so in turn, most commercial nightstands are around 24”-28” tall.
