Frequently Asked Questions

What's the ideal height for a nightstand relative to my bed?

Generally, the nightstand surface should be level with your mattress top or within 2-4 inches higher or lower. This ensures comfortable access to items while lying in bed.

Can I use wall-mounted alternatives instead of floor-standing nightstands?

Yes, floating shelves or wall-mounted nightstands can free up floor space entirely. However, ensure your wall can support the weight and consider whether you'll miss having enclosed storage.

How narrow can a nightstand be while still being functional?

Most people find nightstands under 10 inches deep too shallow for practical use. A 12-15 inch depth typically provides enough surface area for a lamp, phone, and book while still being compact.

Do I need matching nightstands in a small bedroom?

Not necessarily. In small spaces, you might only have room for one nightstand, or you might choose different pieces that serve specific functions on each side of the bed. Focus on pieces that work well in your space rather than perfect symmetry.
