Lasting Style: The Sleigh Bed Heritage
A Sleigh Bed
The Mandello M1 is a sleigh bed with curved headboard and footboard. Traditional style that's been around since the 1800s. The curved ends scroll outward. Some people call it a scroll bed. Same thing.
Old sleigh beds can look heavy. The M1 has slimmer proportions than antique versions. The curves are there but they don't overwhelm the room. Works better in modern homes where ceilings might be lower and rooms smaller than Victorian-era bedrooms.
The frame is plywood. The upholstery covers the curves. Built to last if you take care of it. Sleigh beds tend to stay in style because the shape is classic enough that it doesn't look dated after a few years.
