Sleigh beds bring timeless elegance to your bedroom with their signature curved headboards and footboards. From classic wooden styles to plush upholstered designs, they add charm and comfort to any space. Many options also include built-in storage for added convenience. Whether you need a single or super king, sleigh beds offer a stylish and functional centrepiece for your home.
Sleigh beds have evolved to meet modern needs while maintaining their classic charm. Here's why they remain a popular choice:
Style Options: From wooden sleigh beds that bring warmth and traditional elegance to upholstered sleigh beds that offer a softer, more contemporary look, there's a wide range of styles to choose from. This variety allows your new bed to complement any bedroom decor.
Size Range: At Land of Beds, we have a wide range of sizes including single, double, king, and even super king. This range ensures you can find the perfect fit for your room, whether it's a cosy guest room or a spacious master bedroom.
Storage Solutions: Many of our beds now come with built-in storage options. You can find sleigh frames with storage drawers or even sleigh ottoman-style lift-up bases. These clever designs provide hidden storage space, perfect for keeping extra bedding, seasonal clothing, or other items out of sight.
Material Choices: While traditional sleigh beds were often made of wood, modern versions come in a variety of materials. You can find metal sleigh beds for a more industrial look or fabric-covered frames for added comfort and style.
Headboard and Footboard Options: Some sleigh beds feature both a curved headboard and footboard, while others only have a statement headboard. This allows you to choose a design that best fits your space and personal preference.
When selecting the 'right' bed for you, consider these factors:
Room Size: Measure your space carefully. Due to their curved design, this style of bed can take up more room than standard bed frames.
Storage needs: If you need additional storage, look for options with drawers or ottoman-style storage compartments.
Material: Choose a material that matches your decor and maintenance preferences. Wooden beds offer timeless appeal, while upholstered options provide a softer look and feel.
Height: Some sleighs sit higher off the ground than standard beds. Consider this when choosing nightstands or if you have mobility concerns.
Sleigh beds offer the perfect blend of style and functionality, making them an excellent choice for upgrading your bedroom. With flexible payment options, including Klarna's buy now, pay later or interest-free credit with zero deposit, along with free mainland UK delivery on orders over £100, your dream bed is within reach.
What is a sleigh bed?
Sleigh bed frames are defined by their distinctly curved footboards and headboards, which create a curved appearance at both ends of the bed. Because of its distinctive appearance, they are also occasionally called scroll beds. Generally made of the best woods and upholstery textiles, they are strong, muscular beds.
Are sleigh beds suitable for small rooms?
While traditionally larger, many modern sleigh beds are designed with space-saving features. Look for ones with a lower profile or built-in storage to maximise space.
Can I add a headboard to a divan bed to create a sleigh bed look?
Yes, you can buy sleigh-style headboards that can be attached to divan beds, giving you the look without changing your entire bed frame.
How do I clean and maintain my sleigh bed?
Always check the care guide label before cleaning your bed as the cleaning routine will depend on the material. Wooden beds can be dusted regularly and polished occasionally, while upholstered beds may require vacuuming and spot cleaning.
