Mattress sizes....

We custom resize each bed to standard contemporary sizes, but on our last delivery we measured the brand new twin mattress and instead of 39 x 75 which has been the norm for many years, this mattress was 37 1/4 wide x 74 long. In addition instead of 8 inches of thickness for the mattress, this particular twin mattress was 11 inches thick. The queen mattress on our last delivery was also smaller and fatter than usual. If you order one of these smaller thicker mattresses, please let us know! Otherwise we will size twin to 39 x 75 x 8. Our usual queen measures 60 x 80 x 8.

SLATS...are included for queen and twin beds unless you tell us you do not need them.

Siderails..

We have the originals, but do not trust them any more so we generally replace them with yellow pine rails which we stain to match our beds. If your bed style had a sleigh rail side (to keep children from rolling out we presume), it can be put onto the bed if it has not been resized as yet for an hour's labor charge. If you wish to add these stylish sleigh edges to your bed we can do it for you even if it was not on your original bed for a minimal labor and material charge as long as the bed has not been resized.

This is how the new yellow pine side rails look BEFORE finishing. We will stain and wax to match best possible the original old wood foot and head boards.

Here you can see the little ledge we put inside, then the slats go on and then your mattress.

Here is an example of the new yellow pine straight side rails that we put on many twin beds and on all king and queen size beds.

Pattern One

16 1/2 inches deep

Pattern Two (on the left)

12 inches deep

Pattern Three

16 inches deep

Pattern Three made up of yellow pine and waxed with mahogany wax...

Here is a bed with original side rails....

We added sleigh bed rails and converted this bed to queen size...more info on bed conversions on this page.

A little history...

The earlier beds are always two Scandinavian narrow twin sizes that were cleverly made to be pushed together or separated as required. We resize them to a standard American queen size mattress and affix them permanently together. The styles are a bit more robust, often with carving and heavier ornamentation. This can be a real advantage if you have a narrow stairway. These beds are easily assembled on site.

Our shop always carries a wonderful selection of bedside stands, dressers and armoires to coordinate with our beds.

Trundle beds.....

I measured one that we have and figured up the clearances necessary for the typical metal pop up trundle frame available at most mattress stores. We have used one of these for 20 years and it works great.

You will need to buy two normal thickness (8") twin mattresses, no box springs.

Picking a bed...please select one that we have not converted as yet! We will have to have the side rails attached higher than usual and make the side rails not quite as tall. Otherwise No Problem this is an easy conversion!

This sums up the conversion.....

Floor to side rail clearance 13 1/2"

Long side of bed leg to leg clearance 75 1/2"

Short side of bed leg to leg clearance 38 1/2"

Side rails are 7" high to accomodate a regular thickness twin mattress only, no box spring.

We will provide slats but you can have a piece of plywood cut to fit instead if you prefer at the lumberyard.
