Sleigh Bed
JB
$42
A New Mexican interpretation of a European favorite! This fancy sleigh bed has a curvy head- and footboard, and a lovely sage-green finish. For added comfort, there’s a soft mattress, called a colchón, and an almuada, a puffy bolster pillow.
This bed is pretty sturdy too. My fat cat likes to lay on it (she gets in trouble for that too) and it hasn't broken yet.
The mattress is a cotton filled, off white, pillow-type mattress with six strings tied through it at precise intervals to keep the fluff in place. The bolster pillow, as well as the mattress, is made of unbleached muslin material. The pillow has a draw string on the end to make it seem that you can take the pillow out of the case, but you cannot.
I know that Josefina would normally have slept on the floor and that the bed was only for visitors, but here she is lying in it because she just got back from the hospital to re-attach her leg that just suddenly fell off. Notice the ice pack on her head?
Bed=Grade A Well made and authentically accurate to the period.
