mattress options for smaller houses and door frames - mrbigstuff - 10-26-2009 house: smaller Victorian with doors that will not accommodate a king sized mattress without bending. and bending is bad. I'm aiming for a spring mattress and not memory foam, as I require a really firm mattress (even the "pillow top" versions will not suffice in the firmness category). has anyone encountered a similar conundrum? Re: mattress options for smaller houses and door frames - Doc - 10-26-2009 Yes. You can put two twin mattresses on a king frame. They make adapters called "bridges" to cover the split in the middle. Re: mattress options for smaller houses and door frames - mrbigstuff - 10-26-2009 ah, thanks, I'll look into that remedy. I wonder if that "bridge" can tie the two mattresses together tightly enough for kids who like to jump on the bed...

Re: mattress options for smaller houses and door frames - lost in space - 10-26-2009 There are other types of foam that don't have memory, in varying degrees of firmness from soft to nearly rigid. Check at upholstery shops.

Fortunately the first story porch sticks out under the window. gets tiresome after a while. |
