Sleigh Beds - Lit Bateau

French style comes in a variety of options

The French have a way of doing things that's a bit special, so these sleigh beds have to be Tres Bon. These three basic bed styles can turn into a myriad of options and looks.

High or low foot-end

Traditional sleigh beds have a high curving footboard just like a horse-drawn sleigh and that's great if you like to have something to rest your feet against, but modern preferences are often for feet to stick out of the end, particularly if you're tall, so these beds come in either option.

Painted or waxed

As can be seen from the pictures above the character of these beds can change dramatically depending on the finish. Some prefer the sumptuous rich dark wood finish for the Parisienne which exudes luxury and class, while others like the same bed in a light painted finish which reflects the summer sun to bring a light feel to the whole bedroom. The slatted design of the Riviera gives an open spaciousness which works in either wood or painted finish while the simple lines of the Provence bring a real country image that matches the famous area of the same name.
