The twin sleigh bed is a true designer bed for people who want that extra edge and really care about the small details. The twin sleigh bed has a curved foot and headboards which it makes it resemble a sleigh, hence the name. The twin sleigh bed was created in the period of the French empire around the early 1800’s and have lived on all the way to our modern days because of its fantastic design and classy look.

The traditional twin sleigh bed is almost always built from very heavy types of wood and therefore has an unmatched quality and grows better as it ages.
However you can also find contemporary models of the twin sleigh bed, these are usually created from wood and metal. The modern twin sleigh beds usually don’t have the same curves and edges of the traditional types and therefore it is a question of which type you prefer and which would fit your bedroom style the best.
There is also great news for the people who love leather furniture. Many producers have started creating the twin sleigh bed using leather to create a highly sophisticated bed that will add character and class to any bedroom immediately.
If you are looking for the highest quality twin sleigh beds, buying a fully handcrafted version is often a possibility. People who handcraft sleigh beds are usually very experienced as it is one of the hardest beds to create from scratch.
Forging and casting is used to create patterns that stem all the way back to the French empire and as a finishing detail all the designs are hand carved into the twin sleigh bed.
When you buy a handcrafted twin sleigh bed you usually get the very highest quality of wood. High quality wood is just like wine. It will mature with age and the older it gets the stronger it will be while its color will turn richer and fuller.
One of the most beautiful twin sleigh beds we have ever seen was created solely from the highest quality Chambord cherry & Makore. Curly Makore is a very unique thing that occurs when there has been a great deal of stress on a tree during its growth phase. The frame of this bed was created from Cherry while the panels were 100% in curly Makore.
The wooden frame looked incredibly smooth and had been hand polished for several hours to create a truly unique piece of art. This bed cost more than 5.000$ and it was one of those cases where you would buy it just as décor and not even sleep on it due to its fabulous design and the fantastic ambience it created.
