Leather sleigh beds are a great way to add a strong visual effect to your bedroom. Adding leather to a sleigh bed really gives a nice look with depth and focus on the bed. I don’t believe there’s anything more comfortable than a leather sleigh bed with soft and plump pillows, silky sheets and of course a nice warm blanket. I have to thank the inventor of a sleigh bed as they sure knew how to live a cozy life! In this guide I’ll share some brief history on sleigh beds and I’ll discuss some of the great options I’ve recently seen available for you to add to your bedroom.
Over the past century, sleigh beds were mostly concentrated east of the Mississippi River. Over the last 10 years, sleigh beds have spread throughout the United States thanks to TV, magazines and the internet. Sleigh beds are usually made with steel, aluminum, iron and wood. Leather sleigh beds have started to become more popular as they provide an extremely chic, but elegant look in any bedroom. It’s common to see the leather sleigh beds combined with wood or other materials, but consumers are also opting for sleigh beds completely covered in leather.
One of my all-time favorite leather sleigh beds can be found at Horchow.com. It’s a bit on the pricey side (although there are many options way more expensive), but this bed will last for many years to come. The “Alexander” is extremely luxurious made from birch solids with cherry and exotic avodire. It’s extremely well-crafted with detail throughout the bed. This leather sleigh bed has leather on the interior of the headboard and the interior of the footboard. It doesn’t get much cozier and elegant than this plush bed. This queen size bed can be purchased for $3,099.00.
Unfortunately leather sleigh beds are usually a bit pricey. However, if you’re looking for a more affordable option, you can always opt for a faux leather sleigh bed. Overstock.com has several options in this category and their faux leather sleigh beds are priced really well. One specific bed that caught my attention was the Brooklyn Bi-cast faux leather queen sleigh bed. This bed can work well for a couple and it’s not too bad for a bachelor pad! It’s extremely contemporary and will give your room a real fresh update. The bed is upholstered with bi-cast faux leather and the bed is made with a solid rubber wood. The headboard looks great against the wall and stands 47 inches high while the footboard measures 25 inches high. The reviews on overstock.com have been great! This bed can be purchased there for $499.99 – not a bad deal!
There’s now a large supply of leather sleigh beds available on the market. If you’re looking for a leather sleigh bed, be sure to shop around. There are plenty of different options online and in stores. A quality leather sleigh bed can last you many years, so make sure you really take your time. Good luck with your search and be ready to make a lovely difference in your bedroom!
