Sleigh Beds

Sleigh beds are contemporary and classic all in one breath. A sleigh bed can be made of metal or wood, depending upon your preference. Sleigh beds have a long history, dating back to the early 1800s when they first appeared. Nothing looks more comfortable that a beautiful sleigh bed with a fluffy comforter and lots of pillows - and you can have a gorgeous metal or wooden sleigh bed in your room too.

Sleigh beds come in twin, single, double, king and super king sizes to meet your needs. They are rugged and sturdy but remain elegant in a room. The head and foot boards are usually curved, one of the tell-tale signs of a traditional sleigh bed. The head board is usually much taller than the foot board and can also be found without the curves in more contemporary beds. In some contemporary sleigh beds, there are no curves, but rather a tall headboard and a shorter footboard that symbolize a sleigh bed. However, if it is the curvaceous lines of a traditional sleigh bed you are seeking, there are plenty to be found in a variety of materials. Some sleigh beds are even upholstered in leather or other materials, some in conjunction with wood or metal as well.
