Sleigh Beds

Your bed is the first thing you see when you walk into your room - it's an automatic point of focus. When you choose a sleigh bed, you add instant elegance to your room. Plus, they come in varieties of woods and finishes to suit any taste. Knotted pine sleigh beds might appeal to you; or you might prefer the richness of a traditional cherry finish.

Why Is it Called a Sleigh Bed?
A sleigh bed can be identified by its high head and foot boards. This design makes a sleigh bed look like an old-fashioned sleigh. The curves along the whole length of the frame give it a sleek and graceful look. You can find sleigh beds in the normal range of bed sizes, plus crib sizes.

Different Designs
Of course, you can choose a traditional looking sleigh bed, with solid piece head and foot boards. But you might want to consider an updated look with vertical spindles or slats that cross within the head and foot boards. You might be surprised to learn that sleigh beds are versatile enough to fit decorative styles from Victorian to Mission designs.

Popular Wood and Other Choices
Sleigh beds are made from those high-quality woods familiar to furniture makers - oak, pine, mahogany and cherry. Finishes and colors vary to meet your taste. For something truly unique, you might want a sleigh bed made in a stylish metal frame.

Sleigh beds elevate any bedroom with grace and sophistication. They are just as beautiful in a guest room or daughter's room as they are in the master bedroom. Look at the variety of sleigh beds available today and see for yourself.
