We used chains to suspend beds from the ceiling in college. Greatly increased floor space in the dorm. Our usual enhanced state was augmented by someone pushing the bed to cause it to swing adding to our already unstable sensation. I've a distinct memory of a Jimi Hendrix poster on the ceiling about 12" from my nose. (no it was not a black light poster, those cost too much)

However, most frames are adjustable in width. Usually, the length is not adjustable unless you get some more-expensive frames. (I think.) There are other options: * Lay the mattress on the floor. If in KY, place a tarp over the dirt floor first. * Milk crates are easily found beind the local Piggly Wiggly's. * Sheets of plywood in 3/4" thicknesses. For you Ukers, that would be 19.1 mm. * Suspend the bed via cables strung from the ceiling. If you rig some block and tackle, you can raise the bed to give an unobstructed view of the brass stripper pole.

We're thinking of buying a bed, but I've heard rumors that the bedframes aren't sized to fit US mattresses. We have a full (double) mattress that we want to keep, but to fit into a new bedframe. I know that the metric sizing used to definitely be the case, but I feel that this may have changed recently. Can anyone confirm or deny these rumors? Thanks!
