How do I choose the right size?

King and super king dimensions vary slightly between nineteenth-century iron frames and standard modern mattress sizes. Measure your available bedroom space carefully and check internal frame clearances before committing to a purchase. Consider the height of the headboard and footboard relative to windows and low ceilings. Massive frames require adequate clearance to avoid overwhelming smaller rooms.

Can I use a modern mattress?

Many antique iron and wooden frames accept standard modern mattress sizes, though older proportions occasionally require bespoke slatted bases. Verify the interior width and length of the side rails to ensure a secure fit. Adding a modern supportive base preserves the longevity of the frame while maintaining sleeping comfort. Discuss support options with your dealer to ensure proper weight distribution.

How do I care for painted finishes?

Dust painted wooden and metal surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent grime accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can strip delicate historical paint layers or varnishes. Maintain stable room humidity to protect wooden expansion joints and prevent paint flaking. Gentle wax polishing suits waxed painted wood, whereas metal requires simple dry dusting.
