How do I choose the right size?

Check the internal dimensions of the wooden rails to ensure your modern mattress fits comfortably within the antique structure. Consider the height of the carved headboard in relation to your ceiling clearance and bedroom proportions.

Can I use a standard mattress?

Many antique frames accommodate standard modern mattress sizes, though some European pieces require custom dimensions. Review the listing specifications for side rail lengths and slat support systems before purchasing.

Are original fabrics durable?

Original textiles carry historical character but may show fragile areas unsuited for heavy daily use. Many pieces feature newly upholstered panels that combine antique frames with modern fabric durability.

How do I care for carved wood?

Dust the carved wooden elements regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt accumulation in the recesses. Avoid placing the bed near direct heat sources to protect the timber and historic finishes from drying out.
