Sleigh Bed Basics

For those of us who sometimes long for the simpler days of long ago before technology took over our lives, but don’t want to give up all these conveniences as the Amish have, decorating our homes with some of the touches of earlier days can bring back some of the elegance without giving up the conveniences. Bring the ambience of horse and buggy days into your home by decorating a bedroom with a sleigh bed. Sleigh beds have ornate curved headboards and footboards that are designed to look like the old time sleighs.

Sleigh Beds

The sleigh bed was popular during Victorian times and was used mainly by upper classes. A sleigh bed was ornately styled and was made out of wood. Today’s sleigh beds can be obtained in various types of wood, iron, or even leather. They can be designed with the classic Victorian look or a contemporary look.

A sleigh bed is sometimes placed in the middle of a bedroom to show off the sleigh design. The twin size also is often used as a daybed, as it probably was historically. Sleigh beds are also available in children’s beds. There are many styles of sleigh beds today. As you begin your research, you will find exactly the sleigh bed style that fits the décor statement you wish to make.

White Sleigh Bed

For an elegant and romantic bedroom, consider a white sleigh bed with matching furnishing pieces. Whether you prefer graceful, but ornate carvings or a more contemporary sleek look to delicate curves, you can find a white set that you will like. The Jessica McClintock Romance Queen Sleigh Bed features graceful carvings on solid wood with a soft white antique finish. It is also available as a twin canopy bed.

Stanley Furniture offers a more contemporary style white sleigh bed with the Louis Louis Pearl Weston Low Profile Sleigh Bed. Styled after the Louis Philippe design, it features simple lines and a low-profile footboard and headboard. It is constructed of solid hardwood with a white finish.

For quality, style, and beauty, consider an Amish oak sleigh bed. They have several variations, including the Captain, the Victorian, a Three Panel, Colonial, Slated, Raised Panel, and Dutch. They are all made of solid oak and can be stained light, medium, or dark. The Amish are quality craftsmen and guarantee their work.

For a softer look, The Olivia Bed has a slated headboard and footboard with a medium oak finish. Also check out their leather sleigh bed in king size.

The soft elegance of cherry wood may be your décor choice for a bedroom. Make that a cherry sleigh bed for a mix of traditional and modern style.

It is a bed designed for aristocracy. Another cherry sleigh bed to consider is the Louis Philippe Sleigh Bed by Coaster.
