Vintage beds have a character and charm that often are missing from today’s models. This character can come at a cost of convenience though as traditionally beds from previous generations were narrower than what we’ve grown accustomed to. Ironically, a king may not have been sleeping on a king-sized mattress! Often full mattresses were 48 inches wide instead of the more common 54 inches we see today. Lengths varied some, but were often still 75 inches. This means that you may need the help of a partner like Custom Mattress Makers to upgrade the mattress in your favorite vintage bed.
Choosing the Right Partner
We’re always excited to help add some comfort to a beautiful antique bed. Custom Mattress Makers is proud to offer made in the USA products that range from Firm to Medium to Plush. It is our pleasure to help you measure your bed and get the exact dimensions just right.
How do I measure my antique bed correctly?
Measuring older bed frames can be a little tricky. There are some unusual building techniques that don't exist anymore. Luckily, we've seen hundreds of different styles and have the experience to help you! Feel free to contact us and we will talk you through each step.
How do I order a mattress with special cuts?
The most common we see are notches at the corners, which allow the mattress to extend past bed posts. We can help with these! Visit our special shapes page and select the cut you need. That will bring you to a form that can be filled out, telling us the size and shape you need. We will walk you through every step!
Want to hear from one of our customers?
I thought I'd never find a mattress to fit our ancient 4-poster bed, but decided to give this a try. The customer service people were very helpful with advice on taking measurements. The mattress was delivered on time, just what we expected, and has worked out well. -Happy Customer
