What Kind of 4 Poster Beds Are Available?

The Classic four poster canopy bed stays the closest to the traditional designs of the canopy beds from the past. The handmade Summer four poster canopy bed frame is a more contemporary take and is a refreshing place to relax during the warmer months, whilst the Low canopy 4 poster bed is the perfect minimalistic choice for those that have a restrictive ceiling height in their bedroom.

Different styles aren’t the only customization service we offer. If you’re looking for that finishing touch to your 4 four poster bed frame, then we offer the opportunity to personalize it with a different color finish. There are ten luxurious satin finishes available, such as subtle black, bright white and a refined gray. 

As a standard, we construct our wood beds from solid Scandinavian pine, but if you’re after a more natural looking canopy bed frame, you also have the option to have your bed constructed from one of eight solid hardwoods that we offer. Popular choices include Oak, Walnut, and others, perfect if you’re looking for a centerpiece for your bedroom.

Aiming to ensure the comfort and stability needed for a good night’s sleep, we offer these options for every one of our handmade wood beds. For more information, read our buying guide for four poster beds.

Four Poster Bed FAQs

What Is a Four Poster Bed?

First introduced in the 15th century and otherwise known as a tester bed, the four poster bed has a vertical column in each corner. They provide support for the tester or upper, with a railed attachment that allows a curtain to be drawn around the bed. In addition, four poster beds have a number of benefits, not just style-wise but also for the sleeper.

What is the Purpose of a Four Poster Bed?

The main purpose of a four poster bed was to provide warmth and privacy for the occupant. The curtain, when pulled around the bed, would provide warmth and privacy, with bodyguards and servants often sleeping in the same room. 

The four poster bed has also long been seen as a symbol of prestige, with ownership still an aspiration today. Although the structure has remained largely the same, modern-day bed makers offer a range of customisations to enhance the aesthetic appeal of these historical centrepieces. Built using a blend of traditional and modern methods, Get Laid Beds are proud to present a stunning range of four poster beds.

What’s the Difference Between a Four Poster Bed and a Canopy Bed?

As with the traditional four poster bed, a wood canopy bed has a vertical post at each corner. However, canopy beds typically differ in having a canopy draped over the top and around the sides. Whether looking for a classic four poster or a modern-style wood canopy bed frame, you’ll find your perfect match in the Get Laid Beds collection.

How do you Style and Decorate a Four Poster Bed?

Unlike the ornate beds of royalty past, modern four poster beds don’t require heavy drapery or elaborate fabrics to make a statement—though you certainly can go that route if you love a dramatic look. Today, these beds shine in both minimalist and maximalist spaces. 

For a clean, contemporary feel, keep it simple with crisp white or subtly patterned linens, paired with neutral tones or soft textures like linen, cotton, or wool. If you want to embrace a more romantic or bohemian aesthetic, consider light, flowing curtains or canopy panels in gauzy materials like sheer voile or muslin. You can also add interest with layered throws, plush pillows, or even string lights or greenery woven through the frame. Whether dressed up or down, the four poster bed naturally draws the eye and becomes the room’s focal point—so let it reflect your personal style.

How to Hang Curtains on a Wood Canopy Bed?

With our wooden canopy beds you can simply drape a curtain over the top without having to use a railed attachment. We recommend using a lightweight fabric to avoid it falling through.
