Custom Size Mattress: Made to Your Exact Measurements

Quick answer

A custom size mattress is built to the exact width, length and thickness of your bed instead of the nearest standard size. It suits antique cots, built-in platforms, round or corner-cut beds, houseboats and caravans. You measure, choose the feel, and the factory confirms the build before you pay.

Key points

  • How the process works. You enter your width, length and thickness in inches, centimetres, feet or millimetres in the Sleepwit Studio.
  • Shapes and special builds. Rectangles are the simplest. Corner-cut, notched, round and split mattresses are possible but need factory review first, because cutting, edge support and cover stitching change.
  • What changes the price?. Size, thickness, material (foam, latex, pocket spring), cover fabric, special shapes and delivery distance all influence the quote.

Who needs a custom size mattress?

Standard mattress sizes cover most beds, but a large number of homes in South India do not fit them: teak and rosewood cots passed down in the family, platform beds built into a bedroom, bay-window berths, houseboat cabins, caravan bunks and hospitality rooms with unusual layouts.

If a standard mattress leaves a gap, overhangs the frame or has to be folded into a corner, a made-to-measure mattress is usually the cleaner answer.

How the process works

You enter your width, length and thickness in inches, centimetres, feet or millimetres in the Sleepwit Studio. We store everything in millimetres and never silently round your numbers. Our team then checks the build with the partner factory, confirms any manufacturing tolerance with you and sends an itemised quote on WhatsApp.

Shapes and special builds

Rectangles are the simplest. Corner-cut, notched, round and split mattresses are possible but need factory review first, because cutting, edge support and cover stitching change. Always send photos and a rough sketch for special shapes.

What changes the price?

Size, thickness, material (foam, latex, pocket spring), cover fabric, special shapes and delivery distance all influence the quote. Prices are given only after the factory confirms the specification; Sleepwit does not publish a fixed price for a custom build.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a mattress in any size?

Within the limits of the partner factory, usually yes. Very large, very thin or unusually shaped builds need factory review before a quote is given.

Is a custom mattress returnable?

Terms depend on the product and Indian consumer law. Made-to-measure terms are confirmed in your written quote before you pay.

How do I measure my bed?

Measure the inside of the frame edge to edge, width and length, where the mattress sits. See our guide on measuring a bed.
