An Odd size?
At The Odd Company we produce mattresses to any shape or size – a service which represents the core of our business.
Over the last three decades, we’ve made bespoke mattresses of almost every size and shape, from a 300cm x 300cm mattress – a size we now refer to as the “Berliner” on account of the city in which it now resides – to curved mattresses which follow the contours of a yacht’s hull, as well as shorter than standard mattresses for Victorian, Georgian or continental beds.
Although an enquiry for a short mattress is usually unique there are certain dimensions for which, over the years, we have received numerous enquiries. These mattresses normally are of standard width but have a slightly shorter than standard length; for example, we can make a short single mattress, a short double mattress and a short king size mattress. These shorter-sized mattresses are often required for beds which were made before the onset of standardisation, in the mid-20th century. The most popular short mattresses from this period are found in the table below.
