Sleigh Beds - Finding the Perfect Sleigh Bed for your Home!

Curves in solid wood introduce an element of class and grace in furniture. Sleigh beds offer a design that sets itself apart from the rest for their sheer style and attitude. Sleigh beds come in a sleigh-like form that is reminiscent of royal times, adding a dash of class in any bedroom it chooses to adorn. The headboard of this bed is larger than its footboard and both are curved with their tops rolling outwards. These beds lend a fabulous look to the bedroom with their rich flourishes and twirls; naturally, considering their graceful rolling edges are a far cry from the usual sharp lines and block designs of other bed styles.

Style plays an important role when you decide to opt for a sleigh bed in a bedroom. The right look will bring the room together and perhaps even define the character of the bedroom. Total Bedroom Furniture works hard to offer a vast range in wood sleigh beds from Tropical mahogany wood, with beds constructed of 100% kiln dried hardwood to ensure strength and longevity. Finishes are applied by hand to give a rich look. These beds are supported by a quality framing system, headboard, footboard, 4-slat system (with centre leg supports for queen sleigh beds or king sleigh beds). Sometimes the headboard size determines how prominent the bed will be in context of the room. If you want it to be the centerpiece, a tall headboard is appropriate. If the twin sleigh bed is secondary, a shorter headboard is recommended.

Metal sleigh beds on the other hand lean towards a traditional style. The type of metal used will affect the appearance, strength and weight of your bed. Sometimes a contemporary look can be achieved with a wood and iron sleigh bed. Add to that pewter wooded posts and you make a sturdy yet sophisticated statement. A 54\" headboard and 36\" footboard work well for a perfect symmetry in the bedroom.

Leather sleigh beds are available in many styles. Some offer a sophisticated, luxurious look, while others make a more welcoming statement. Find one that matches the mood you want to create. Material is important on all sleigh beds, but particularly so when it comes to upholstered sleigh beds. Some are wood with upholstered panels. Others offer headboards and footboards that are entirely upholstered. Choose from leather, faux leather and other materials. The color of the upholstery will determine the mood of the room: bright colors will have a warming effect, while darker, paler colors tend to be cooler and calming.

Sleigh beds come in various sizes, including Twin, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King. In the US, Twin is also known as Single (38\" x 75\"), Full as Double (53\" x 75\"), Queen as Queen-size (60\" x 80\"), King as Eastern King (76\" x 80\") and Cal King as California King (72\" x 84\"). Cal King size beds, generally for tall people, are typically 12\" wider than a Queen-size bed and 4\" longer.
