Bed Down in Style

You’ll spend approximately one-third of your lifetime in your bed, so be sure to take the time to a wooden bed that meets your standards of comfort and style. Sifting through the hundreds of available wood beds and narrowing it down to just one can be a daunting prospect, but it becomes easier if you have a clear idea of what you want. To help you figure out your bedroom decorating ideas , we’ve compiled the most popular styles of beds for quick comparison:
  • Platform Bed: With a raised, flat base that accommodates a mattress, wood platform beds provide support and cushioning without requiring a box spring. From sleek, modern wooden beds to traditional styles, platform beds are available in dozens of different designs.
  • Day Bed: This multi-purpose piece of furniture serves as a compact bed by night, and a casual sofa or chaise by day. Day beds are usually pushed up against a wall for support, and cushioned with throw pillows.
  • Sleigh Bed: Inspired by the classic contours of a sleigh, this aptly named wooden bed boasts a dramatically scrolled wood headboard and a more subtly scrolled wood footboard. This timeless style has been embraced as a favorite since the mid-19th century.
  • California King Bed: Longer and narrower than a regular king-sized bed, the California King measures 72” x 84”. Special bed linens are required for a proper fit.
  • Four-Poster Bed: This classic wood bed features high posts at each corner. A canopy can be adhered to each post to suspend fabric over the bed for an ethereal, romantic look.

5 Platform Beds From Around the World

You may be a homebody, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enrich your life with a little other worldliness. These five platform beds each represent a country drenched in ancient cultures. From Japan to Germany, the craftsmanship and design is unique to its creator’s roots but, at times, borrowed from another place and time.

The Win Wenge bed marries classic Japanese style and Italian craftsmanship for the ultimate rich wenge finish hard wood platform. Clean lines and absence of headboard and box springs, make this bed frame a terrific addition to an Asian-inspired bedroom with rice panels and silk embroidered sheets and throw pillows.

Monroe Bed

European design and high New York style make the Monroe platform bed a chic, urban addition to your modern bedroom or loft. Dark wenge finish and white leatherette pillows compliment the clean lines of this exotic sleep creation. Add a pair of matching night stands that fit seamlessly into the headboard.

Mino Bed

The truly rustic Asian-minimalist design makes the Mino Bed by Home Decorators Collection a steal at $529. The hardwood construction will provide years of tranquility in the Zen bed.

Retro Eastern Bed

Straight from the tropics and tree hugger friendly, the Retro Eastern platform bed is made of contemporary-styled solid Tropical hardwoods. Lifestyle Solutions creates each of its beds in the tradition of environmental consciousness and is certified with the International Tropical Timber Organization.

Pavo Bed

Italian crafted from the very trees that have supplied Rome and the Venetian Republic with their own raw materials through the centuries, the Pavo bed brings European excellence home. Genuine Italian leather coupled with rich chocolate finish make this bed opulent and dreamy.

Random Fact: The earliest known platform beds were found in burial tombs of the ancient Egyptians. One such infamous burial tomb of the Egyptian King Tutankhamen immortalized his gold-gilded ebony platform bed.
