Metal Beds: From Cast Iron to Stylish Steel

Cast iron, wrought iron and steel – metal beds have come a long way since 600BC.

Cast iron beds

Cast iron beds benefit from being strong and sturdy, as they are cast directly from moulds. This means they achieve a very regular appearance from bed to bed, and means a strong design can be achieved again and again.

Wrought iron beds

Wrought iron means ‘hand made iron’. This artisan approach means that every frame will be slightly different, specially crafted by metalwork experts. As such these beds can be elaborate, flamboyant and – yes – expensive.

Contemporary metal beds

Modern metal beds are most commonly made of steel, as it is cheaper and simpler to produce on a grand scale. Steel is also requires less expertise to manufacture.
