Iron Beds

By Ken Marlborough

Iron beds are beds whose frames are made of iron. Iron is a good material for beds, because it is heavy, sturdy, and rustic. Many people like the "feel" of iron for their bedframes, because it gives an old world flair. The choice of a bed is important, as we spend almost one third of our life sleeping. Beds can be made of wood or metals. The most common metal beds are iron beds.

They come in exquisite styles. Iron beds are durable and often cost much less than wooden beds. People who have any problems related to their back or neck must consult a doctor before buying an iron bed.

Some iron beds are antiques. Because of iron's durability they have been handed over from one generation to the other. These antique beds can cost you a fortune. Many of them are auctioned by auction houses, which deal in antiques.

There are several web sites where one can purchase iron beds. Some of us, however, may not be thrilled by the idea of spending a few thousand dollars by just looking at the picture of a grand old iron bed with a beautiful canopy on a web site. Many of us may like to touch the bed and have a feel of it before buying it.

Generally, iron beds are preferred for pets also. The quality of an iron bed depends not only on its design and the comfort it provides, but also on the quality of iron used in making it. The price of an iron bed varies accordingly.
