Queen Standard

How can you convert an antique standard full size bed with headboard and footboard into a queen size?
Well, the easiest way, if you have the money, is to buy one of those new mattress sets. They fit a full-sized frame, but the mattresses are actually queen size. However, a friend of mine looked at them and told me they are very expensive.
I went looking at bedding for a project today, so I know that a full sized mattress is generally 54 x 75, while a queen is 60 x 80. The only think I can think of is having new side rails made, or going to a second hand or antique store and seeing if you can find some queen sized side rails. If you can find ones that are the extra 5 inches long, you can mount them more to the sides of the head and footboards, and that should give you the extra 6 inches in width.
Actually, as I was typing, I just had another idea. Get a studio frame, which is just basically a box frame, and which costs about $35, depending on where you get one (you can always get one at second hand shops for very little). Remove the side rails from your antique bed, and then fasten the headboard and footboard to the studio frame. Use a bed skirt, and no one will ever know there are no side rails on the bed. If you must have side rails, just get some MDF, have it cut to size, and stain it the same color as the antique parts. I seriously doubt anyone will look too hard.
I can also tell you from experience that we once had a queen sized mattress on a full sized box-spring set. Since it’s centered, and it only hangs off a matter of inches on either side and at the head and foot, it was really no problem. We had a quilt that gave fairly good coverage down the sides, and we used a bed skirt, and you couldn’t see any difference at all.
Best of luck to you!
