Metal Beds Work With Any Decor
If the term “metal beds” makes you think of youthful times spent in summer camp bunk beds, or some uncomfortable rack in a military barracks, it’s time to think again! Metal beds are trendy, sturdy, and beautiful and they work with any decor. From adult rooms to children’s, spare room to a den, there’s a perfect metal bed design for every taste and budget. Metal Beds Were Good for the Pharaoh and They’re Good For You, Too! History records tell us that the first metal beds appeared in the days of Ancient Egypt. Common people slept on hay, piles of leaves or wooden slats. However, Egypt’s ruling families opted for the strength, richness and prestige of metal beds. What Is A Metal Bed? Chances are you have a metal bed frame that holds your box spring and mattress. But it takes more than that to qualify as a metal bed. A true metal bed does have a metal frame, but it’s the addition of a metal headboard and, perhaps, a metal footboard that converts a bed from commoner’s style to one that’s fit for a Pharaoh and his Queen. Iron is the metal of choice for metal beds, followed by tubular steel. Both metals are strong and can be painted with a variety of scratch- and rust-resistant specialty coatings in a nearly endless array of colors. Wrought Iron in filigree patterns is frequently used to add a decorative touch to the headboard and footboard. However, posts and bars are popular choices as well. What About Workmanship? Metal beds get their sturdiness from both the actual metals used in their construction as well as from the way the bed is manufactured and assembled. Solid welds fuse portions of the bed together, while sturdy bolts typically attach head and footboards to the frame. And, of course, since metal is practically indestructible, you can expect years of solid service from most new metal beds. What If Your Tastes Change? Changed your color scheme? No problem. Metal beds can easily be repainted using materials available at any home center. If your new decor goes beyond a change in color palette, you can leverage the value of your existing metal bed by simply ordering replacement head and footboards in a design to match your new look. But Are Metal Beds Worth The Investment? According to the metal bed experts at ComfyZone.com, a leading online retailer of metal and traditional beds, furniture and accessories, “Metal beds hold their value for years thanks to their strength, durability and beauty.” Metal bed prices are in line with the prices you’ll find on other quality bedroom furniture but deliver a far greater return on your investment thanks to their unusually long lifespan and the fact that they adapt so easily to any decor. Beauty You Have To See To Believe It’s difficult to explain exactly how or why metal beds can easily become the focal point of any room. In fact, to appreciate the true beauty of metal beds, you need to see them for yourself.
