Wrought Iron Kids Bed
The preference for metal beds started in the early nineteenth century when beds were made from wrought iron or brass and hand crafted to extremely high standards. As the designs became ever more elaborate and detailed with ornate finishes such as brass finials (or bedknobs to you and me) metal beds grew in popularity but at the start of the first world war, mass production took over and the craftsmen who often spent days working on a single bed could no longer compete with factories that could produce higher quantities at cheaper costs.
These traditional iron beds called Oliver are from Feather & Black and have a convincing antique finish. You can get them in either bronze or white with side rails to match. They are beautifully simple children's beds that will last many years and will have pride of place in your home.
Shops Selling Iron Beds…
Today only a handful of specialist shops sell hand-wrought metal beds, however there are also a few bed sellers who specialise in restoring and selling antique iron beds.
Cheaply manufactured metal beds are made from low grade steel tubing which is easily damaged and the fixings tend to be flimsy. Over time the constant movement causes metal fatigue in the frame and any fixings become very loose or even break. A good quality iron bed will be made from solid sections or thicker gauge tubular steel and will last forever – often fetching good prices on the second-hand market.
Metal framed beds also look spectacularly stunning and are often the centrepiece of the room. They are not recommended for younger children however as they can easily become trapped in the gaps.

Buying a Metal Bed…
If you are thinking of purchasing a metal bed you need to be aware that the price doesn't usually include the cost of the mattress and it would be wise to check the measurements of the frame before you buy your mattress to ensure that it is of a standard size, otherwise you'll have to find a mattress to order which is an expensive process. As a guideline, the size of a standard single mattress is 3ft x 6ft 3 inches or 90cm x 190cm
