      The sleigh bed is not just a piece of art but also a piece of history, fit for a king. A product for sale since the early 19th century, inspired by the imperial designs of ancient Rome, this bed gained popularity in countries such as France, where the sleigh bed was rumoured to be Napoleon's choice of frame in centuries past. More than a bed frame, the Sleigh bed truly is a piece of luxury furniture which can define a room.

      Since then, these beds have been considered a status symbol that brings an individual flair to the homeowner's décor. In fact, due to the beds ornate design, people would place the sleigh bed in the centre of the bedroom as a decoration in itself.

      You’ll be happy to hear that the sleigh bed design comes in all shapes and sizes from kids, to double and even storage bed frames. Mattresses of any kind will pair nicely with the regal design of the sleigh and it's storage options are second to none. 

      Difference Between A Sleigh Bed And A Regular Bed  

      The key difference between sleigh beds and a regular bed frame is the curved foot and head boards which are part of the frame itself. The down-sloping bed frame resembles a sleigh, hence the name. The traditional wooden beds are often carved from a single piece of wood, making the bed frame a work of art in itself and a fine addition to the house decor, outshining any other piece of furniture in sight. 

      Is There a Price Difference Between a Sleigh Bed and a Regular Bed?

      Usually, due to the craftsmanship required to create the stylistic design, the sale price for a sleigh bed is higher. Here in our shop, however, we pride ourselves on the sale price of our affordable beds and bed frames, regardless of style. You can end up saving on a sleigh bed - for example, if you're trying to build a kids room and fill it with furniture. Due to the storage options available to a sleigh bed, you may be able to forgo other pieces of furniture such as a set of drawers. You can effectively double the space in a small room as the bed frame only takes up slightly more room than a traditional wooden bed but can pack well over double the storage.

      Sleigh Beds: Tradition V Modernism 

      Sleigh beds were traditionally made of heavy wood with scrolls, side rails and curves which gave them a bulky impression. However, over time they’ve become more modern and new materials such as steel and iron are used to make them. It led to less exaggerated curves and a more appealing look, which is something that helped people see their real beauty. Even today, they have a scrolled or curved headboard and footboard, but it makes them unique and special pieces of furniture. This piece of regal furniture didn't always come with storage space, but not we have storage options on both single and double sizes.

      Is A Sleigh Bed Really An Un-Adjustable Bed?

      Although the majority thinks that sleigh beds have an un-adjustable style and can’t be incorporated in some bedrooms, they are available in many different colours, styles and materials. Wooden sleigh beds are, in fact, the most common, but can also be made of metal or even upholstered. 

      This beds ornate design is perfect for elevating the atmosphere of the room and attracting the attention of anyone who sees them. Sleigh beds are, therefore, the right choice for simple bedrooms and neutral colours, as transforming the room from boring to never-seen-before is their job.

      Does A Sleigh Bed Take Up More Space?

      Sleigh beds are a larger piece of furniture/bed frame, so sleigh beds prefer bigger bedrooms. However, they can come in various sizes, which makes them easily adaptable and fits them into any bedroom size. You also get to pick its colour, material, storage space and size. 

      Many of our sleigh beds have optimal storage, easily accessed below the mattress. Place your spare sheets and pillows beneath where you sleep to avoid clutter.
