At the right height... even for the bedside table!

Finding the right height for your bedside table ensures more comfort in daily life. Too high or too low, it can quickly become inconvenient. This article helps you make the right choice, based on your bed, your habits, and your needs.

What is the ideal height for a bedside table?

The ideal height for a bedside table is generally between 40 and 65 cm, depending on the height of your bed. For optimal comfort, the table should be aligned with the top of the mattress or slightly below it (up to 5 cm). This allows easy access to your items without bending or raising your arm.

📏 For a standard bed (50 to 60 cm high), choose a bedside table of 45 to 55 cm. For a higher or electric bed, opt for a model between 60 and 70 cm.

✅ Remember to measure the total height of your bed (base + mattress) before choosing your table to ensure daily comfort.

Why is height important?

A well-placed bedside table allows easy access to a lamp, a book, or a glass of water. If it's too low, you'll have to bend over; too high, you'll have your arm raised. Ideally, it should be at the same height as the mattress.

Here are some examples of table types or storage options adapted to the necessary height:

  • Classic table: 40-50 cm high, with storage drawers.
  • Wall-mounted table: fixed at 50 cm from the floor, space-saving.
  • Chest of drawers: about 66 cm, ideal for more storage.

Low table: about 40 cm, for low beds.

Adapt the height of the bedside table to your bed

The bedside table should be aligned with the top of the mattress. To do this, measure the total height of your bed (including mattress) and choose a table of similar height.

  • Slightly lower: minimalist look, less risk of knocking objects over.
  • Aligned: easy access, good ergonomics.
  • Higher: practical for reading, especially with an electric bed.

The choice mainly depends on how you use the table daily.

Consider your needs

Your height and habits also influence the choice. A tall person will feel more comfortable with a higher table (up to 75 cm). A shorter person or a child will need a lower table (between 40 and 50 cm).

For people with reduced mobility or seniors, a table between 75 and 91 cm offers more comfort, especially if the bed is adapted (40-50 cm high).

Practical and space-saving solutions

Wall-mounted tables free up floor space. They are also easier to adjust to the height of the mattress. There are also adjustable or sliding tables, ideal if you often change beds or share your room.

What to do in a shared bedroom?

When two people share a room, the needs are not always the same. You can choose two tables of different heights, but in the same style to maintain visual harmony.

Another option: modular or wall-mounted tables, each installed at the right height for each user.

Aesthetics and harmony in the room

The height of the table influences the overall look of the bedroom. A model that's too high or too low can disrupt the visual balance. A table aligned with the bed creates a smooth and pleasing line.

Also consider the style: Scandinavian for a modern look, solid wood for a warm atmosphere, or metal for a more contemporary effect.

In short, take the time to measure your bed, assess your needs, and think about the overall aesthetics. A well-chosen bedside table will make your bedroom more practical, more beautiful... and much more comfortable.
