Here’s our story.
Many years ago we purchased a lovely antique canopy bed, double bed size.
Ten Years ago we bought an adjustable base, which worked ok with the bed frame. (It’s a Leggett and Platt, which has worked well for ten years)
We were told that we.could use a “short queen” mattress with this setup, which would give us the width of a queen size mattress, while still allowing us to keep our full-size canopy bed frame. We went to Ikea and found that their queen-sized latex mattress was actually 2" shorter than the standard queen so we bought one, and it has worked well for almost ten years. It is 6" wider than the bed, but that’s not a problem.
It has worked well for ten years.
But now the mattress is sagging and we have to replace it. I
I understand that “short queeen” mattresses, sold for use in RVs, would be a good fit.
We would want to get a foam mattress, because of the use with the adjustable bed (which is used daily), so my question here is where can we find a good quality short queen mattress , foam of some kind, that we could confidently ordee without seeing it and trying it out first?
None of the retailers in our area have short queens on display.
Would synthetic foams work as well as latex for our situation?
Thanks for any advice.
Happy
