Choosing Sleigh Beds for a Rented Flat

A sleigh bed can work very well in a rented flat, provided you choose one that fits the room, comes apart easily and will suit your next home as much as this one. Its curved headboard and footboard bring character to plain rental bedrooms where painting and drilling may not be allowed. In this guide we explain how to measure for the extra length that sleigh curves add, and why low footboard designs help in compact rooms. We look at the access challenges that flats bring, from narrow communal stairwells to small lifts, and how to check packaged dimensions before ordering. We compare wooden and upholstered sleigh beds for frequent moves, explain why a standard double is often the most flexible size, and share simple ways to protect floors and walls. Finally, we offer renter friendly styling ideas that let the bed carry the look of the room. It is written with UK renters in mind....
