Finding the Right beds-frames for You
We find relaxation and solace in our bedrooms, which are often the most cherished rooms of a home. Your antique, new or vintage bed and bed frame are integral to this oasis of personal comfort.
Beds and bed frames have long been an important part of the sanctuary that is the bedroom. For the upper class in countries such as England, the massive, costly beds of the 16th and 17th centuries were decorative and of the poster variety. Some were characterized by large painted wooden headboards, often made of oak, that featured ornate carvings and richly colored curtains affixed to each of the two or four posts — think of today’s sumptuous upholstered headboards as a distant cousin to these luxurious furnishings. The heavy fabric curtains were drawn across a fringed canopy to close out the sunlight that might’ve warmed your grandiose and opulent bedchambers. This feature could also offer privacy as desired, because, as we all know, a bedroom is for more than just sleeping.
Coiled springs didn’t make their way into mattresses until the 1800s, which likely made for a far more comfortable night’s sleep for many. Bed frames of cast iron and brass were introduced during the mid- to late-19th century. Later, the 20th century brought with it marvelous innovations for slumberland, among them daybeds from the likes of George Nelson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as convertible sofa beds.
Today, you will find a range of beds geared toward your individual personality and preferred style of decor. When shopping for a bed and bed frame, keep in mind that you’ve got options. Sizes range from twin to California king. At 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, a king-size bed is roughly 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress, and your bed frame will likely add two to five inches to each side. (The California king bed is 84 inches long.)
From dramatic bedroom designs to uncomplicated, minimalist approaches, the bedroom has evolved into the haven that it should be: a peaceful place of respite, where we begin and end every day. Take the time to create your very own oasis — you deserve it. Rest easy with an expansive collection of antique, new and vintage beds and bed frames available on 1stDibs.
Questions About Cannonball Bed
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Cannonball beds first became popular during the Colonial period prior to the Revolutionary War. American furniture makers began producing the beds after patriots began sanding bed posts into round shapes to show that they supported the independence of the 13 colonies. Find a range of cannonball beds on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A bed that is high off the ground is called a platform bed. This type of bed dates all the way back to Ancient Egypt and centuries later became common in Scandinavian modern interior design. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of platform beds.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023A cannonball bed is called that because of the round finials found on the bed posts. Legend has it that American furniture manufacturers got the inspiration for the design when the colonists began sanding the bedposts into round ball shapes as a sign that they supported the revolutionary movement. Shop a range of cannonball beds on 1stDibs.
