The four-poster beds were first used by lords and men of noble classes in Mediterranean Europe. The four poster beds had curtains which not only provided warmth but also privacy. This is because their companions often slept in the same room.
Categories of four-poster beds
Four-poster beds come in traditional and modern categories. Traditional four-poster beds seem to be offered by many people. This may be due to the ruffled property; intricate pleated drape and heavy fabric that has an appealing look. However, the modern four-poster bed has a simple design. Wood, metal or a combination of both are used in the construction of modern four-poster beds.
What do you need to consider when choosing a four-poster bed?
It is important that you consider the frame of the bed. The bed frame should be able to support the mattress and box spring independently of the headboard. The typical metal frame is most preferred.
The size of the canopy is also an important factor in the selection. This must depend on your bedroom. You can also choose the color that you like or that matches the color scheme of your room.
It is always important to pay attention to the models, materials, thickness and colors of the canopy when choosing a curtain. The different materials have different thicknesses. If you want something warm, opt for the four-poster bed with a thick curtain.
