B:
This is a classic doll bed. However, it continues to be a favorite of many girls. The brass-plated bed comes with a mattress, comforter and pillow.
The frame is relatively substantial. It doesn’t require a lot of storage space because it can be easily assembled and dismantled. One nice feature of this bed is that is can nicely hold two dolls. Unfortunately, the brass dulls overtime and shows fingerprints.
I purchased my first Samantha bed in 1988. However, the first bed must have been wet when it was brass-plated, because the brass began to chip off. Pleasant Company replaced the bed without a problem in the mid-to-late 90s.
The mattress from 1988 is thick, white and feels like it could be down. It has gotten a little lumpy overtime, but isn’t too bad. Also, it's long and wide enough to cover the bottom of the bed frame. Unfortunately, the newer mattress is identical to Felicity’s and is too narrow for the bed. It doesn’t fit quite right.
One thing that continues to bother me about Samantha’s bed and AG beds in general, is that they don’t come with sheets. Thus, there is nothing between Samantha’s mattress and comforter. The comforter is nice and thick and fit’s nicely on Samantha’s bed. The comforter from 1988 and the mid/late 90s are very similar. The newer comforter isn’t as stark as the older comforter, has slightly different lace, and the ribbons are a darker pink. It could be worth noting that the lace on the older comforter has yellowed a tiny bit.
The pillow is made of the same material as the comforter and matches nicely with the set. I do wish that there was a second pillow, as the pillow looks strange in the center of the bed.
Note: The bedding isn’t as thick as it appears in the picture. The two comforters are stacked.
