Angled corner mattresses can be used in a variety of applications. Some of the more common uses are in RV’s, van conversions, trailers, and antique beds.

In an RV or camper, it is common to have a platform bed that has the two end corners angled off. This is to allow easy maneuverability around the bedroom and lessens the chance of hitting your shin on the bed (ouch!). This uniquely styled platform bed is designed to be used with an angled corner mattress. By shaving off both corners at the foot, the mattress will fit the frame correctly without losing length for your feet.

These mattresses are also found in four poster beds. These sometimes “antique” beds were designed with bed posts inside the side rails. This can make it difficult or impossible for standard size mattresses to fit correctly. If one was to make a mattress only to the length of the head or foot posts, it would significantly lessen the length of the mattress. This isn’t ideal, especially with older style beds where the length is on the shorter side to begin with.

The solution to this is to angle the corners of the mattress, so the full length of the bed can be used. This allows the mattress to fit nicely around all sides of the bed and extends the sleeping surface length.

Any of the fifteen models at Custom Mattress Makers can be created with angled corners. Request an Angled Corner Mattress.
