Height of Mattress on a Sleigh Bed

We just bought a new Stearns and Foster mattress for our king sized sleigh bed.

The new mattress and box spring are 22" together and are going to be a good 5-6" taller than what is there now.

I am concerned my bed will look stupid with the mattress being almost as tall as the footboard. Won't it lose that "sleigh bed" look?

The alternative is to get a low profile box spring and the total height would be 18" instead of 22" -- only slightly higher than what we have now.

Like usual, my DH things I making a "big deal outta nothing."

Any input on mattress height????
