Browse the Full Range of Sleigh Beds HERE
Sophisticated and elegant, sleigh beds are available in many different sizes and styles. Whether you choose a California king sleigh bed, a standard king sleigh bed, a queen sleigh bed or a double sleigh bed, you can be certain that quality, beauty and comfort will not be compromised.
The sleigh bed has been a graceful choice in home decorating since the 1800’s. At that time it was a featured design in American and French homes. While the premise was similar, boasting beautiful flowing lines to create and imitate the looks of an old fashioned sled, the size would vary between the countries. Often, in France the size of a sleigh bed would be for one occupant, rather then two. Naturally this puts one in mind of a beautiful haven created for a lucky person, especially when draped with beautiful sheers and brocade fabrics.
This can be recreated, however, and would provide a most wonderful resting place for a person or couple. There are so many styles to choose from, with sleigh beds being made of hard woods, metals, iron and other materials, the opportunity to find exactly the right personal retreat should not prove to difficult. For those who like the traditional, a headboard, footboard and even rails that feature ornate carvings like those found in the Roman and Greek Empire’s will surely make one mindful of decadence and indulgence. A more classic look can be obtained with less ornamentation, although it would not mean having to sacrifice the regal nature of such a piece.
Sleigh beds traditionally have a large curving headboard, with a similarly designed footboard. Artfully carved details are commonly featured on large scale and heavy wooden pieces. With the passing of time, however, you may now find sleigh beds made of many different materials, and in varying sizes. There are even beds offered today that do not have a footboard, which is a wonderful way to accommodate a smaller room size without sacrificing the pleasure of owning a sleigh bed. The availability to shop online offers consumers the chance to see many different styles and options available to purchase.
The beauty of a sleigh bed is always appreciated, and the dream of passing down an heirloom piece is a wonderful way to consider future generations. A handcrafted bed is a work of art, and quite worthy of gracing a fitted bedroom now and in years to come.
