Antique Beds

Everyone wants an antique bed right now. They’re chic; they’re classic. And they’re popular enough, that if you want to buy an antique bed you have a few options. There are plenty of original, rare antique beds out on the market right now, but the problem is that getting your modern mattress to fit an antique bed frame.

One: you can alter a restored full or three-quarter sized bed to fit your full, queen or king mattress. Usually this is done by just changing the rails on the frame. If you want to be more authentic, the original bed rails may be sized by a professional carpenter.

Two: you can purchase a reproduction of your favorite antique bed. Many artisans will build you a custom bed with all of your specifications met. This option can be fairly expensive, but worth it for the custom features and the sturdiness of new furniture.

Or three: find the perfect headboard and don’t pay any attention to the size. Mount it to an existing frame, or hang it on the wall. It will give you a nice polished look, with all the charm of an antique, and the modern DIY feel.

Which ever option you choose for your antique bed, you’re sure to find the perfect bed at eBay for a fraction of the cost of traditional antique dealers.
