Shorter bed base - anyone sells those locally?
I am trying to find a bed to fit into a weird size box room type of space and normal lenght bed will not fit the way I want it to fit.
I tried online places but the only shorter beds they do are kids ones or singles when I want a small double but must be 185 or 180 cm long. It is not the width that is a problem but the length of the bed.
Not a bed frame as can not lose any more space for the mattress length being taken by headboard etc so I am thinking some kind of a base, divan bed type? Those are 190cm long so about 5cm too long for how I want to have it in the room. I can squeeze a 190cm mattress in but not the bed base.
Whoever converted the house my current flat is in must have been simply insane to be honest but hey, got to make it work.
Any advice?
At some point I will need to have a base built in the room for the bed - that way I could get some storage under the bed as divan type of base will kill that option and room is very awkward...but for now just want to get a ready smaller base - 185cm ideally..
Thanks a lot
Anyone had a bed base built recently please? Would it be a carpenter I would need?

I don't know anywhere that would sell these, I think it is a very niche market indeed. The options you have are probably getting a bed custom made (by a carpenter) or getting a standard size one and altering it yourself/getting help to alter it.
A wooden bed frame would be very easy to shorten,but I see you don't want this.
Perhaps compromise with a child's shorter single for now?

There are some websites like this one which make custom sized frames, maybe what you are looking for? Lots do custom mattresses in case a regular one won't fit.

It sounds like you may need to ask a carpenter to build you one then. We had one made out of mdf in the box room of our house when we moved in. It has been binned now and a single so not what you are looking for. Be warned that if you paint the top in gloss it becomes rather slippery which isn't ideal with a mattress on top!

Have you looked at the Kyoto bed from Taurus beds: https://www.tauruspinebeds.co.uk/beds/wooden-beds/kyoto-platform-be... doesn't have a head or foot-board so it's exactly the same measurements as the mattress - plus they do bespoke to if you need it shorter. I got one because I had an antique head a foot-board I wanted to attach and its great - you can get one that's not just a platform if you want under-bed drawers for it as well.
