Something I just thought of. Be sure to measure the mattress you decide on from the bottom of the box springs to the top of the mattress. I purchased a mattress for the queen size bed I grew up with and the mattress is a good 6 inches higher than the old one. When it was being delivered the installer said I could have purchased a low box springs for an older bed. It doesn't matter as much if the bed doesn't have a foot rest. New beds are tall.
