Shaker Beds - How To Order

How to Order Beds Made by S. Timberlake

S. Timberlake Beds are "built-to-order" according to customer mattress and bedding requirements.

Questions that we will ask our customers when they place their order are:

What is the size of the mattress you will be using?
Will mattress have a boxspring?
Desired height of mattress measured from floor to top of mattress
Will their be any storage space requirements under the bed?

Typically, S. Timberlake builds beds that have 1/2" - 1" of space between rails, head and footboards and the mattress. This allows for bedding and any irregularities in mattress or boxspring. We use the sizing below as our guide.

Mattress Size

Note: some manufacturers are shaving inches off of these "standard" sizes. Understand the exact size of the mattress you decide to purchase and how fitted sheets may not fit correctly on non-standard sized mattresses.

FITTED SHEETS: Please note that mattress depths vary widely by manufacturer. Measure the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Standard and older mattresses average 9-12", while newer pillow-top mattresses are 14-16" deep and up. These deeper mattresses will require additional depth in fitted sheets. FLAT SHEETS: If you own an extra-deep mattress, be aware of flat sheet sizes as well. Choose the largest sizes available so there will be an adequate length to tuck in at least 8-12" underneath the end of the bed. In some cases it may be necessary to purchase the next size up (a queen flat sheet for a double bed, etc.), in order to cover the deeper mattress.
