Are sleigh beds still in style?
Sleigh beds are still in style because of their timeless design. Sleigh bed designs can easily adapt to a rustic or modern appearance.
Do you need a special mattress for a sleigh bed?
Sleigh beds can accommodate standard size mattresses that are available, and do not require a special or customized mattress because of their extended frames, curved footboards or headboards.
How high are sleigh beds?
48 inches tall
Typical sleigh beds are 48 inches tall at the top of the headboard. Short sleigh beds range in height from 40 to 48 inches and tall sleigh beds can reach up to 72 inches tall. Footboards are shorter than headboards and their heights are not typically listed in product sheets.
Can you put a memory foam mattress in a sleigh bed?
A sleigh bed needs a box spring if it has no slats or platform to support the mattress. A sleigh bed with a slatted frame will also need a box spring for a memory foam mattress if the slats are spaced more than 2 inches apart. Otherwise, the memory foam mattress may sag between the slats.
