Antique beds are timeless, elegant, and full of character—but finding the right mattress for an antique bed can sometimes feel confusing. At Seventh Heaven Beds, we specialise in helping you combine the best of old-world craftsmanship with modern-day comfort. Here’s how to choose the perfect mattress that fits both your bed and your lifestyle.

Do Antique Beds Need Special Mattresses?

✅ Yes, size and fit are key.
Antique beds were made before standard mattress sizes became common. Many are slightly wider, narrower, or longer than today’s standard dimensions. That’s why we always recommend measuring your antique bed frame properly before choosing your mattress.

At Seventh Heaven, we offer a full range of standard and bespoke mattress sizes, including made-to-measure options to perfectly fit any antique bed.

Which Mattress Types Work Best with Antique Beds?

✅ Natural Fillings for Breathability
Traditional materials like cotton, wool, horsehair, and latex are breathable, supportive, and in keeping with the historic feel of an antique bed. They regulate temperature naturally for year-round comfort.

✅ Pocket Sprung for Support
A pocket sprung mattress offers excellent support, especially for heavier cast iron or brass beds. Pocket springs contour to your body without disturbing your sleeping partner.

✅ Low Profile Options
Some antique beds benefit from a lower-profile mattress to preserve their original look and headboard proportions. We offer low-height luxury mattresses specifically for these frames.

✅ Luxury Comfort Layers
Our luxury mattresses combine modern comfort with traditional aesthetics giving you a great night’s sleep while maintaining the period charm of your bed.
