I bought a vintage bed for my grandson at an estate sale. I have measured it 4x - its 52 X 71.5 - where do I find a mattress for this? Not double, not 3/4, not antique - help!!

Wstuter.  Sandman is right.  If you can make a full sized mattress fit on the thing that is the way to go.  The other solution is a full sized foam mattress, chalk line and electric knife is the next best alternative.  You can certainly find a custom mattress shop to build it for you but the expense will probably be more than you hoped for.  Mattdud
