What are sleigh beds?
As the name suggests, these beds take on the design of a sleigh, with their curved footboards and headboards representing the silhouette of a sleigh.
What variety of sleigh beds does Mattressman stock?
From traditional sleigh beds to more contemporary designs, Mattressman has a wide array of sleigh bed frames to complement a whole host of bedrooms.
Wooden sleigh beds
A wooden sleigh bed is arguably the most authentic representation of a sleigh bed, with its wooden frames bearing a remarkable resemblance to an actual sleigh. Sleigh beds are similar to traditional wooden beds with the additional benefit of elaborate and elegant headboards and footboards, adding the wow factor to any bedroom and reinforcing the bed's position as the room's focal point. Renowned for its durable and solid wood, a wooden sleigh bed is guaranteed to stand the test of time.
Ottoman sleigh beds
Ottoman beds are renowned for their storage capabilities and are a popular choice of bed frame for those seeking additional storage space. An ottoman bed frame includes integrated storage systems, lifting the base through hydraulics to reveal storage space underneath. With the ability to free up floor space, ottoman sleigh beds are an excellent choice for a smaller room with limited storage facilities. For a sleeping solution that prioritises style and practicality in equal measure, an ottoman sleigh bed is the perfect way to go.
Fabric sleigh beds
One glance at a fabric sleigh bed and they are sure to resonate with marvellous backdrops and conjure feelings of luxury, elegance and astonishing beauty. With an exquisite range of fabrics to choose from, all glamorous and splendidly rich, these beds add an abundance of character and ornate beauty to the bedroom.
Faux leather sleigh beds
As is the case with fabric sleigh beds, faux leather adds an element of class and luxury to a bed frame. Faux leather is a more affordable alternative to leather and adds the wow factor to a bedroom. Faux leather sleigh bed frames are a fantastic option if you have a limited budget but would like a bed with the look and feel of genuine leather.
What sizes of sleigh beds does Mattressman stock?
Alternatively, you can search for our sleigh beds via their size. Our sleigh bed frames are available in various sizes, from single to super king-sized beds. A single sleigh bed frame generally fits a 3'0" wide and 6'3" long mattress. Our small sleigh double beds accommodate small double mattresses that are 4'0" wide by 6'3" long, with our sleigh double beds measuring 4'6" wide by 6'3" long. Our sleigh king size beds measure 5'0" wide by 6'3" long, in contrast to our super king size sleigh beds that measure 6'0" wide by 6'6" long.
What size sleigh bed is suitable for me?
When purchasing a new bed, it can be all too easy to forget about what's practical for your room and end up with a bed frame that's too large. With this in mind, consider what the most viable option is and tailor your choice from here. For instance, if you sleep alone and are conscious of your room's available space, one of our single sleigh bed frames may be the best fit. Similarly, if your room is limited by space yet you share a bed with your partner, a double sleigh bed frame is likely to be the most suitable choice. If you find yourself with the luxury of a spacious bedroom, consider a king or super king size sleigh bed.
What impression does a sleigh bed give?
With their timeless shape, sleigh beds add a touch of classic style and authenticity to the bedroom. Wooden sleigh bed frames are a fantastic addition to a traditional, classic bedroom. In contrast, an upholstered sleigh bed frame is traditional and quaint in shape with a modern style and is, therefore, perfect for a contemporary design scheme.
Traditional wooden sleigh beds add a touch of warmth to the room due to their rustic materials, whilst an upholstered sleigh bed frame adds lovely softness and comfort over the headboard and foot end of the bed to create an intimate sleeping space.
What are the advantages of upholstered footboards on sleigh bed frames?
With a sleigh bed, the elevated footboard cushions the soles of your feet and keeps you warm and cosy.
