How do I choose the right size?

Bed sizes range from small single cots to super king dimensions across the listings. Measure your room space carefully to ensure adequate clearance for larger frames. Consider whether you need a standard double or an extended king size depending on daily use requirements.

Can modern mattresses fit these beds?

Many period frames accommodate standard modern mattress dimensions with appropriate modern bed bases or slats. Check the internal width and length measurements of the specific frame before purchasing. Some listings include the original bed base to assist with mattress placement.

How do I care for brass and iron?

Maintain brass components by dusting regularly and using appropriate metal cleaners sparingly if polishing is desired. Painted or japanned iron surfaces require only gentle cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasives that might damage the original protective finishes.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Most metal bedframes utilise traditional side rail wedge locks or bolt-together mechanisms. These systems allow the headboard, footboard, and rails to separate for transport. Two people are usually required to assemble the heavier cast iron and brass components safely.
