Should nightstand be higher than bed?

1 Answer
Should nightstand be higher than bed?
A nightstand should be at least level with the top of the mattress or between 2-6 inches higher than the top of the mattress, though there is no standard nightstand height. There are many nightstands for sale on 1stDibs.
