What's average height?
Bottom line
When your height is measured at the doctor’s office, you usually stand next to a device called a stadiometer.
A stadiometer is a long ruler attached to the wall. It has a sliding horizontal headpiece that’s adjusted to rest on top of your head. It’s a quick way of accurately measuring your height.
What if you need to measure your own height at home? Is there a way to do so that’s easy and accurate? And can you measure your height if you don’t have anyone to help you?
In this article, we’ll walk you through how to measure your own height, with and without any help. And, if you want to know your height in both feet and meters, we’ve got that for you, too.

To accurately measure your height with someone’s help, follow these steps:
Steps to measure your height
First, find a flat, uncarpeted section of floor and a flat section of wall.
Take off your shoes.
Remove braids, headbands, or anything else on your head that may get in the way of an accurate measurement.
Remove any bulky clothing that may make it difficult to stand flat against the wall.
Stand with your feet flat on the floor with your heels against the corner where the wall and floor meet. Make sure your head, shoulders, and buttocks are touching the wall.
Stand up straight with your eyes looking straight ahead. Your line of sight and chin should be parallel to the floor.
Have someone place a flat object (like a ruler or hardcover book) against the wall at a right angle. Then have them lower it until it rests gently on top of your head, keeping it at a right angle to the wall.
Lightly mark the wall with a pencil at the point where the ruler or book (or other flat object) meets your head.
Use a tape measure — ideally a metal one that will remain straight — to measure the distance from the floor to the mark on the wall.
Take note of the measurement to the nearest 1/8th of an inch or 0.1 centimeter.
