Due to box spring queen and king sized mattresses being used for beds these days; antique beds are rarely manufactured. Many people look for standard queen and king sized bedding and sometimes even the old standard which is a full or a double sized one.
Many years ago the size of the beds did not have much importance as the average height of the beds was much shorter than what we have now. The mattresses were home-made and the beds could be of any size, including feather beds. Feather beds are now considered as luxury items and not used in day to day life.
Full Size Bed Rail
Manufactured bedding came into existence during the 1890's and the standard full size bed measured 72"X52". People dealing in antiques referred to them as three quarter sized beds, even though they varied a lot in size. This issue became even got complicated when European beds came onto the market which and were built with totally different dimensions.
The main concern is how to convert the antique bed into a contemporary bed without damaging the appearance and proportions of the initial bed.
Conversions have been happening for many years and the materials that are used are basic brown steel rails for all sizes of beds that include full, queen or king sizes. The steel rails are attached to the headboard with bolts and sometimes a hard board of wood is placed to have bolts placed securely on the rails. A rugged steel plate is fitted with welded bolts at the foot-board which is done towards the inner part of it in order to hide the joints and bolts. The beds are then constructed by bolting the bolts and nuts at every corner of the beds.
These beds can be returned to their original sizes by using the original rails and all the fittings can be removed easily without any damages.
The reason people these days are converting their old bed frames to modern bedding is due to the thickness of mattresses which is too thick and many bedding stores are selling these thick and pillow top mattresses. These cover most of the beautiful heads of the antique beds and can be tall too. In case you would like to order a new mattress for your bed, it is ideal to measure the length from the steel rails to the top which is desired as per personal needs to determine the thickness of the new mattress.
