Fixed layout height with scrollable in Twitter bootstrap 3.2.0

I am developing a design layout using bootstrap 3.2.0. I have Fixed header and footer. and I am now trying to have one container full-height with independent scrollbars. Is there any good way to do this with twitter bootstrap?

Here is a picture of the layout I am trying to build.

enter image description here

and sample code is

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
  <meta name="description" content="" />
  <meta name="author" content="" />
  <script data-require="jquery@*" data-semver="2.1.1" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <link data-require="bootstrap@*" data-semver="3.2.0" rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.css" />

This is fairly straightforward. The basic steps are:

  1. Give the html and body elements 100% height
  2. Fix your header and footer to the viewport using fixed positioning
  3. Give the body element padding on the top equal to the height of your header and padding on the bottom equal to the height of your footer
  4. Create a wrapping element for the scrollable content in the center and set its height to 100% and overflow property to auto.
  5. Optionally, give the wrapping element a little padding on top and bottom to pull the content away from the header and footer at the top- and bottom-most scroll positions.

DEMO

CSS:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
}
body {
  padding: 50px 0; /*Assumes that the header & footer are 50px*/
}
.main {
  height: 100%;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  padding: 20px 0;
}

HTML:

   <header>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
           <!-- Navbar Here -->
        </nav>
    </header>
    <section class="main">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="row">
                <!-- Main Content Here -->
            </div>
        </div>
    </section>
    <footer class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-bottom">
      <!-- Footer Content Here -->
    </footer>

In the demo, I used the built in navbar-fixed-top and nav-fixed-bottom classes for the header and footer for convenience rather than create my own styles for positioning the header/footer.
