Sleigh Beds

The sleigh bed dates back to the Empire period of the early 1800’s.  Versions of the sleigh bed sprang from France and America at roughly the same time, with the inspiration for the scrolled foot and headboards coming from the decadence of the early Roman and Grecian empires.

A sleigh bed is a style of bed with curved or scrolled foot and headboards, thus resembling a sled or sleigh.  Often made of wood and quite heavy, the sleigh bed is a result of the French and American Empire period of the early 1800s.  The Empire style drew its inspiration from the empires of ancient Rome and Greece. 

Today’s sleigh beds are made from a variety of materials including wood, iron, steel and aluminum, and oftentimes possess less exaggerated curves of the foot and headboards.  Find the right sleigh bed for your bedroom furniture at Eco-Furniture.com.
