The most classic also have fabrics on the sides and on the top toclose the whole bed and give privacy, and also keep the comfortable temperature inside the bed while sleeping. At other times it is used to protect against insects, which is also a good use. These were created in medieval times when rooms were shared and the fabrics and tubes on the sides allowed a bit of privacy.
At present the styles remain the same: the classics as those of medieval times, but also more modern ones. They can be made of wood, metal and usually have ruffles to give more drama to bed. The most modern ones, like the one in the main image, have a clean and geometric design to also create the same protection and privacy effect, but without as much drama.
Whatever your style, these beds they are not the most popular, but there are still those who enjoy having them, especially if you have the space of length and height available to put them.
