I am done with our sleigh bed and accompanying dresser and chest of drawers with one of those big armoires that could hold the pre-flat screen t.v.s. Since we are essentially ditching everything, we can switch up style. We are in our 40s and have no interest in a low platform bed, but are the fabric headboards still in style? We would probably go for something a little higher end than Pottery Barn/Restoration Hardware. But aren't in the designer price range either. Any thoughts or suggestions? |
I also would love to ditch our sleigh bed too. What was I thinking? |
Fabric headboards = dust mites
Don't buy a furniture set. Maybe a bed and matching dressers, but use different furniture for night stands, tv, etc. Check out Houzz for inspiration. |

Sleigh beds always reminded me of coffins, for some reason. Never understood the trend.
LOVE the fabric headboards! Dust mites? HOW dirty is your house??!! |
Everyone has dust mites. I wouldn't get a fabric headboard, either. |
Allergy doctor says no fabric headboards. |
Pp is correct. You can't clean or dust a fabric headboard. Everyone has dust mites...that's why you wash your bedding and replace pillows regularly. Can't do that with a fabric headboard. |
I have an upholstered bed and love it. It gets vacuumed and I use a tape roller on it to keep it dust free. Works well. |
Curious, what's bad about sleigh beds? |
Every,one has one |
They are huge. I wish I had something more minimalist, sleeker. |
