Ouch, that can't be fun with a bum hip. When we first got this mattress and box spring years ago we didn't realize how high it was until they delivered it and set it up. One of the delivery guys looked at our faces and said, "Yep, that's the look I always get when I deliver one of these - high, isn't it?" We were thinking of getting an even higher bed for our TV place which would require steps, mainly because it has an amazing amount of storage, but I've pretty much ruled it out. It's bad enough having such a high bed to get into when you get older considering the possibilty of mobility problems coming into play, but I could NOTHING but picture myself falling out of it someday and cracking my head open. Getting older makes you think of weird stuff like that I guess........or maybe it's just me - lol
