And remember don't call it a mattress in the shop the assistant might put a
bucket on his head.

I have here a rather nice old Dutch bed. Unfortunately, it seems to be

the mattress is 115.5 cm - I presume that such a thing used to be made.

Needless to say it seems to be impossible to find sprung mattresses in
that width (I have found a company that makes custom-sized foam
mattresses).

How exactly do mattresses need to fit? Would a 110 cm mattress be
visibly too narrow (I think it would)?

Thanks,

Might get away with it if one side is placed next to a wall. You could
make a suitable "filler" with foam, or a fibre filled custom bolster.
