A large range of Sleigh Beds are available from us here at Lock Stock and Barrel Furniture Ltd and we really think they are the highest quality you can buy for a competitive price!
Sleigh beds have been around since the early 19th century and is a mix of French and American design. The first of these were originally made for single person use and were often found in alcoves, it wasn’t until the early 1800s that we saw the first Emperor Sleigh Beds become available.
Traditionally these beds were made from a hardwood such as Mahogany and indeed many still are to this day (including our own Mahogany Sleigh Beds), however later on in history other woods have been sourced due to their attractive appearance such as cherry; pine; oak and to this day walnut (Walnut Sleigh Beds are something else we provide!).
As well as solid woods you can get Sleigh Beds in more modern types of material such as metal and even in some cases leather, but we think nothing beats the high quality, solid wood beds that we can provide. So while you’re here we highly recommend you head over to our website and checkout the amazing range of beds we can offer!
