📏 Are You Measuring for Pet Stairs the Right Way?
One of the most common questions we get is whether the top step needs to be level with the bed or couch.
The answer: not necessarily.
Your furniture can act as the final step.
For example, our 30" pet stairs have a 7½" step rise, which means they can work with beds up to about 37½" high.
We put together a new guide that explains:
*How to measure your bed or sofa correctly
*How to calculate the right pet stair height
*Why the top platform doesn’t always need to match your mattress height
*Which of our 15", 23", and 30" stair heights may work best for your furniture
*What else to measure before ordering
Getting the measurements right can make a big difference in choosing stairs that fit both your space and your pup. 🐾
