I've purchased a period bed (1865), to use with a queen size mattress, and was wondering what would be the best way to fit this size of mattress to the bed with a minimum of modifications. The bed is made of walnut, has high poster, cannonball, bedposts. The inside dimensions of the bed are 5' wide by 6' in length. The side rails are 4x4" with a tenon on each end and I want to fit side rails to this bed so that a queen size mattress will fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The bed will be delivered this week sometime and I'll post photos then.
