There are many situations that require a custom size mattress set. These include, but are not limited to, Antique Beds, Platform Beds, Houseboats, Yachts, RV's, Cabin Cruisers, Horse Trailers, Sleepers in Tractor Trailers, Campers, etc. The most common situation requiring custom size mattresses are Antique Beds.

The majority of antique beds were handcrafted in the 17th and 18th century, and some early into the 19th century as well. Most were designed with a family or individual in mind - the size was sometimes dictated by the room size, the size of the person the bed was being crafted for, or simply the materials at hand. In many cases the bed was handcrafted by the handyman of the family, out in the barn or woodshed, to meet his own specifications - as well as crafting their own odd size mattress at the same time. This meant there were a multitude of sizes, shapes and constructions, none of which were in any form of a standardized size. The most common of these odd size mattresses is referred to as the "Three Quarter Bed". This is a generic statement for any size bed that falls between the standard "Half" bed, which is now known as a "Twin" (38" x 75"), and the standard "Full" or "Double" (54" x 75"). There are many aspects to be considered when producing odd size mattresses to fit an exising bedstead.

Another source for odd size mattresses is from the Swedish or European bed imports. These also come in a wide range of sizes mostly between a "Queen" (60" x 80") and a "King" (76" x 80"). Most are a platform design where only the mattress is required. When considering a mattress for a platofrm bed you may want to consider a plush or ultra-plush mattress - When your custom size mattress rests on a hard platform it will fel even fimer and without abox spring all of your custom comfort must come from the mattress itself.

There are many other situations for which a custom mattress may be required. There may be medical or orthopedic reasons, or the physical size of an individual, sleeping space availability, replacing a waterbed bladder with a waterbed insert or simply personal likes or dislikes.

The following information is provided as Measurement Instructions for your custom size mattress.

• We need the exact opening of the bed measured from inside side rail to inside side rail where the foundation sits. This will give us the width.
• Then measure from headboard to footboard on the plane where the foundation will rest. This will provide the length.
• Are there any height restrictions? The height should be measured from the point where the foundation rests on the side rails vertical to the highest point of the footboard. This will determine how thick the mattress set should be overall.
• If you are looking directly down into the bedstead, are there any obstructions which would interfere with the placement of the mattress? An example of this would be a poster bed where the posts protrude into the area where the box spring foundation rests. This can be accommodated by creating a notched corner.

With these dimensions we can design your custom mattress set to fit any family heirloom.
