Sleigh Beds - Not Just Wood

When people see sleigh beds, they usually see a heavy piece of wooden furniture that can be dark and heavy and take up a very solid amount of attention in the bedroom. These beds can be solid wood or wooden slats, which provides a slightly lighter look. The wood is usually stained, not painted, and offers a classic if heavy look to any bedroom.

If stained wood is not your style, though, there are still sleigh beds that can work perfectly for you and your room. Sleigh beds are not just wood anymore, but can come in metal forms with bars at the head and foot in that beautiful, classic sleigh design. The look is much lighter than the traditional wooden sleigh beds, and the image is still both classic and classy and can really bring a sense of style to a room.

Sleigh beds can also come in upholstered styles, with leather or fabric head and foot boards to soften the look as well as the bed itself. In this kind of style, the head and foot boards can actually be comfortable enough to lean or lay on, making it a painless pleasure to sit up in bed and read or watch television without needing to pile up the pillows.

If you want that classic sleigh design without the heavy look of solid wood, keep looking! There are plenty of other options for the classic sleigh look without the weight and wood.
