Can you convert a three quarter bed?

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Three-quarter beds are beds that measure approximately 48 inches wide by 75 inches long. Many antique beds are this size. Since we sell full to queen converter rails customers call us to ask if we sell anything that will convert a three quarter bed to a full size bed. There is no “converter rail” set that can be used to easily convert a three quarter bed to a full size bed. There may be a bed frame solution, however, that might work for you:

  1. If you want to use the whole three quarter bed (meaning the headboard and the footboard) then start by purchasing a full size bed frame for headboard and footboard.

  2. Next, you’ll need to bridge the distance in width between three-quarter and full size by ordering mod-adapt headboard plates. Mod-adapt plates are a useful tool for attaching oversized or undersized headboards to standard metal bed frames.
  3. If your three quarter bed attaches using bolts, you don’t need the next bed frame accessory. If your three quarter bed attaches using hooks, you’ll need two bed hook adapter kits - one for the headboard and one for the footboard.
