Where to buy a single bedstead

The single bed was a fairly modern invention. Until 1890, the double bed was the most popular bed size available. In the 1890s, the single bed made its début with much controversy with ministers declaring that it would bring about the end of marriage while doctors praised it for its health and safety benefits. Despite the controversy, the bed became popular both for adults and for children. Single bedsteads are available today.

Furnishing store

A furnishing store will have a selection of single bedsteads. These bedsteads will have different materials for their construction, such as wood, press board covered with wood veneer, metal bedsteads and more. Some of the bedsteads will come with bed mattresses that can be conventional or foam beds. The single bedstead could also be in the form of a multi-level bed with a high bed that is over a set of drawers or a built-in desk.
