Iron Beds - stylish and strong

Iron beds can be both modern or traditional in style and combine the best of a beautiful looking item of furniture with the strength and durability of iron. Iron has been used as a material for making beds and curtain poles for centuries and many antique beds can be found that are still in very good condition. This shows what an excellent material iron is for modern bedroom furniture.

Choosing Your Bed

The average adult grows in the night by as much as two centimetres. During the day the spine is compressed; at night it is given the chance to straighten and recover. Ergonomic studies show that couples sleep better in a bigger bed – before trials only 15% said they would buy a larger than standard bed. After the trial 50% said they would. By the time we are 50 we’ll each have spent some 16 years in bed. So, if you are going to spend all that time there, why not make the most of it? 16 other countries have bigger average bed sizes than Britain. Top of the league are Belgium, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Finland and Switzerland where most people sleep in a roomy 160cm by 200cm bed. By contrast we Brits still have to put up with an average bed size of 135cm by 190cm. The average person tosses and turns some 60 to 70 times a night – so you want to put as much space between you and your partner as possible to reduce the disturbance factor. A standard double bed (135cm/4ft 6in) gives each person just 2ft 3in of space – less than a baby in a cot. This is an extract from "A DOZEN REASONS WHY YOU NEED A BIGGER BED" by The Sleep Council, The Sleep Council is a non-profit organisation, limited by guarantee and funded by bed manufacturers, retailers and suppliers.

Iron Beds - how to decorate and dress them

Most designer iron beds are works of art that serve as the focal point of the bedroom. The way the iron bed is dressed will be a main factor in the appearance of the bedroom. The color scheme of the room will be a factor in selecting bedding for the room. What atmosphere do you want to create in the bedroom? Do you want the bedroom to be elegant, warm, intimate, and restful?

Curtain Poles, Finials & Holdbacks

The range of pole kits by Alexander Lawrence are designed in such a way to enable the customer maximum flexibility with the minimum of effort. The pole and finials meet within the bracket which allows adjustment in length to suit the customer's specific requirements.

Alexander Lawrence's Gunmetal range has been developed using 12mm diameter rod, whilst all other finishes have been developed using 16mm steel tube to achieve a larger diameter, without increasing the weight.
