A canopy bed was once the bed of nobles and lords! They had curtains that covered all the sides of the bed, which was needed for privacy. These elegant canopy beds were decorated and filled with stunning fabrics. The canopy bed designs have changed quite a lot since then, and now you have modern canopy beds that are equally regal to look at but in a modern way. The canopy style bed is normally made of wood, with metal also used in some ways. It has a bed frame, bed posts, bed rails, the canopy, footboard, headboard, shrooms, finials etc.
What Is Canopy Bed?
A canopy bed is a type of bed that has four-bed posts at each end corner of the bed. These posts can be about four feet above the level of the mattress. The fabric is then draped on the space between these posts. There is also a canopy over the bed made from thick cloth. This is why the bed is called a canopy bed.
What To Consider/Think When Buying An Canopy Bed?
Here we show you what you should consider when you want to buy a pretty canopy bed.
- Be sure of the measurement of your room before you check the size of the bed itself.
- Check the height of the people who will sleep on the bed. The bed should fit the tallest person comfortably.
- Do check the sturdiness of the bed and the weight of the mattress, canopy, etc. should not have an impact on the bed.
- The posts of the bed should be fixed well into the bedsides so that you cannot easily remove it
- Fabric that will cover the canopy and the sides should be according to the region you live in. If you are in humid climates, you should choose cotton or net.
