Which one
If you cannot measure, the longer window is the one that protects you: Eli & Elm at 45 nights against Layla at 30. On a fit problem you are buying the right to be wrong.
Only one of them gives you a number. Eli & Elm publishes a 6″ maximum — the ceiling you adjust down from — while Layla publishes no height at all. Both are adjusted the same way, so this is not a difference in design; it is a difference in what each maker is willing to tell you before you buy. If you have measured yourself, only one of these can be checked against that measurement.
