I know this sounds obvious, but this bed seems even taller because its on a metal frame and looks the bed is seated on stilts. Unless you want a super wide gap underneath. We ended up switching out for the 14 and love it. We use in our guest room. My husband and I slept on it for a month, waiting for our furniture to arrive from out of state. We are not small people and this bed never made a noise. The support is superb and so functional for the space. My ONE note is the middle support bar that runs the length of the bed, be careful not to kick it. It is clearly critical to the great support, but something to consider. Ill take the support any day.
The 18 is tall
