About Special Size Mattresses

CUSTOM SIZES

 
Special Order Sizes:
There are many different sizes that have been made throughout the years. A very common bed was referred to as the "3/4 bed". Many customers believe that their "3/4 bed" is a standard size. The technical size of a "3/4 bed" is 48 inches wide by 75 inches in length. However, less then 20% are actually 3/4 size mattresses. Many customers have mattress sets that are usually an inch or two shorter or wider than the technical 3/4 size. Knowing this, it is a must that you order the proper size, because your purchase is non-refundable even if it doesn't fit your mattress.

How to measure your special size mattress:
If you already have an old existing mattress set that fits we highly recommend that you measure from the existing set. You must measure the box and the mattress individually. The reason for this is that in the past some manufactures made box springs that were smaller than the mattress. (This affects about 3% of 3/4 mattress owners.) If the mattress and the box spring are identical in size then you can fill in the order form with your sizes on our web site and then you are finished. If your mattress and your box springs are different sizes please contact us via phone or e-mail.

Please be careful and accurate when measuring for your new mattress size. Your purchase is a custom made product and cannot be returned. You alone are responsible for the sizes that you give us. Also, be aware the mattress itself can vary up to 1 inch either in length or width. This may cause your mattress to be either, up to 1 inch over or 1 inch shorter than the size you specified. This is due to the way the coils are laced and the size that you choose. When they customize your mattress, they cannot cut a coil in half so instead they will either remove the coils or add a new row, which causes the mattress to vary in size. This is unfortunate but there is no way around it. Rest assured that the box spring will always be the exact size of your order.

Mattress Height:
Today's average headboard is 54 inches in height. Today's average mattress set is 21 inches in height. Many 3/4 beds have lower headboard heights and sometimes today's tall mattress sets will cover most of the headboard and footboard. This causes the mattress to cover the beauty of your antique bed. We've included the height of each mattress on each of the product pages so that you can consider mattress height in your purchase decision.

Box Spring Height:
We offer two heights based on meeting your needs. The two heights that we offer are the 5 1/2 inch and the 7 1/2 inch. Whichever height you choose, both box springs are the same in quality. The customary height of the box spring in the past has been 7 1/2 inches. The 5 1/2 inch box spring was designed specifically to help the customer with the height of the set. Please select the appropriate size from the drop down box when you are ordering.

What If I Want Just A Mattress?
Because each custom order is made to size, most of the cost goes into the custom sizing of the bed. Therefore, if you order just the mattress you'll be paying almost 90% of the set cost. This is why they're only available in matching sets.
