I just went out to our '66 Tradewind twin mattresses. I took with me a one gallon paint can to which it's diameter is a little over 6 1/2" The can fits fairly good into the curve of the mattress corner. You could place such a can onto and into the square corner of a piece of cardboard and trace it. Pull the can out from the corner a bit. The matress radius is not sharp so when you trace the can bring your marker out to meet the 2 90 degree sides. I'm sure this will not need to be brain surgery accurate.
