A custom mattress for an antique bed is more than just a sleeping surface; it’s a way to preserve history while ensuring modern comfort. Whether it’s a Victorian four-poster, a Georgian sleigh bed, or a French Corbeille, these beautifully crafted frames add character to any bedroom. But when it comes to finding a mattress that fits perfectly, things can get tricky.

Unlike modern bed frames, antique beds often have non-standard dimensions, meaning a regular mattress simply won’t work. The good news? A custom-made mattress ensures a perfect fit while maintaining the authenticity and charm of your antique bed.

At Custom Mattress, we handcraft bespoke mattresses tailored to your antique bed’s exact measurements. No awkward gaps, no forcing an oversized mattress into a delicate frame—just a seamless fit and superior comfort designed for you and your historic bed.

Antique beds weren’t built to accommodate today’s standard mattress sizes. In fact, UK and US bed sizes weren’t even standardised until the 20th century, meaning that a Double, King, or Super King mattress may not fit your antique bed frame at all.

Too Big or Too Small – The dimensions often don’t match the antique bed frame, leaving gaps or an overhanging mattress.

Wrong Thickness – Many modern mattresses are too deep, making the bed look awkward or uncomfortable.

Frame Stress – Forcing a standard mattress into an antique bed frame can damage it over time.

Loss of Authenticity – A mismatched mattress can ruin the original aesthetic and functionality of the bed.
