Bed height/mattresses

[LagoDiComo]

Hi there, to cut a long story short, our mattress seems too high on our new bed. It's 22inches high and makes it feel a bit 'princess and the pea'. Has anyone encountered this problem, or got any suggestions for a low/shallow mattress? We do have the option of sawing a bit off the bed legs but I'd only want to try that as a last resort as the bed is new and pristine white!

Is it just a case that it's higher than you were used to? DP thought our new bed was too high when we got it, but it's so comfy he soon got used to it!

Well compared to the mattress on the floor we were previously sleeping on, yes it is high in comparison and it seemed worse initially than it does now. But it's still higher than I'd like as it dwarfs the other furniture and feels high when getting out (down) or sitting on it.
