Loading... Please wait...Bedsteads are available in a wide range of styles from traditional classics through to modern designs. They are mainly constructed from wood or metal but can incorporate lots of different fabrics including leather. The base is generally made from wooden slats, which are a great way to ventilate your mattress while still offering firm support, and for this reason are particularly suitable for allergy or asthma sufferers. Bedsteads frequently come flat-packed for simple self-assembly, and are extremely easy to manoeuvre into your house.
