The shape of a sleigh bed is inspired by a winter or holiday sleigh.
A wooden bed is an investment piece for the home. Along with your mattress, you may have this piece for many years. The lifespan of your bed depends on usage and the quality of the bed. Consider the bed maker and the kind of wood used in your bed. There are classic, contemporary, modern and traditional wooden bed styles. Does this Spark an idea?
Four Poster
A four-poster bed has capacity for the addition of a canopy of fabric, and becomes a canopy bed. It can also be used without fabric and the four posters visible. This bedding style is generally considered a traditional bed frame style. This kind of bed has its origins in the 16th century, in both France and England. You can personalize this kind of bed with color stain or through the style of the four posts.
Sleigh Bed
A sleigh bed has a headboard and a footboard. The headboard and foot board make a curling shape, almost like an S. A sleigh bed is typically made of a darker wood or a lighter wood that is stained darker. It is called a sleigh bed because it resembles a sled, and was first introduced to consumers in the early 19th century. Very much a classic style, minor adjustments can modernize the bed. One option is replacing solid curves with slats. It creates a lighter, airier feel. However, some may still prefer the classic sleigh bed.
Trundle Bed
A trundle bed is a wooden bed that has a spare bed built into the base underneath. The spare bed can roll out for guests; it is particularly useful for sleepovers, or for those living in small spaces without a guest room or have limited guest rooms. A trundle bed is considered a traditional style. You can also add your own inspiration to this bed through unique painted designs: a sail boat, an animal theme or even ballet slippers for girls.
Platform Beds
A platform bed is when a mattress is laid on a wooden surface, which can also serve as the box spring. A platform bed may or may not have a wooden headboard. If it does, it may just be a flat panel headboard or even a fabric-covered piece of board. This is a simpler style of bed. Some platforms may have dresser drawers built into the platform; these drawers serve as a useful storage section, especially for those in smaller spaces such as condominiums or apartments. Platform beds are considered a modern style, and often appear in asian-inspired homes that have primarily modern features.
