Antique Bed
Three quarter mattress for an Antique bed
Antique beds are not meant for three quarter mattresses as well as box springs of today. Most of us just need standard mattress for queen or king size beds, maybe even the old standard, full or double size. Some of us may need a three quarter mattress.
100 to 150 years ago the size of beds or mattresses was not so important as it is today. Average height of us was so much smaller - beds would be any size for feather ones or home-made mattresses. At the time, there was no three quarter mattresses to start with.
In 1890's seperate bedding came into world when the standard for double or full sized beds was 72" x 52." Old dealers gave old, smaller-than-double-sized beds an interesting name - "three-quarter mattress". European beds are making it even more complicated as they are designed for completely different dimensions.
Most commonly met problem of today is now the following - how we enlarge these antique beds to a more modern size to make good use of three quarter mattresses, at the same time not destroying the original appearance of the oldies.
This has been done for cabinets for ages. Now we use standard steel rails for either full/double or for three quarter mattress sizes. Just attach them to the headboard using bolts which go right through the headboard. At times there is a piece of wood required for bolting the rails properly. Right at the footboard there a solid steel plate fitted with welded-on bolts is attached. (We never found such plates before and we had to designed and manufacture them.) It is done inside the footboard - nothing is seen from the outside. It allows to attach the steel rails securely, nothing showing outside. Now we can set up the bed and take it down repeatedly just by unscrewing nuts and bolts.
If ever these "remade" beds are to be converted to the original size by making use of original wooden rails, steel fittings are removed with no damage to bed.
One other advantage of using these bed frames to make up modern beds is the modern level of thickness for springs as well as three quarter mattresses. Many stores sell chunky, thick three quarter mattresses which are too tall as well as hide the beauty of the old headboards. Thinner three quarter mattresses and springs shall be ordered from bed store to be able to see more of the headboard. You just have to measure the distance between steel rails and the desired at the top of three quarter mattress to make sure which thickness ir best, and that is done before you order a new three quarter mattress. The result should be as pre-planned and not a foot more!

Im selling a four poster antique bed but do not have any idea of the fair price for me and the buyer. Help pls?
I know its at least 80 years old. If anyone out there knows the price please advise, thank you in advance.
Try looking on Craig's list, and Amazon, also antique websites. Also, see if you can find something comparable new and get a sense of what it sells for new.
It may be more valuable than you think. There is a woman in Atlanta who bought a Stickley rocker at a garage sale for 50.00. Her husband wasn't happy about it, but she did her research, and when she sold it at auction, it sold for $50,000. Serious. She gave her husband the 50.00 he complained about, and then she went shopping.
