Luohan Bed
The Luohan bed is a very colloquial name, and no scholar can accurately explain its origin. There are many styles of Luohan beds, but the basic design involves three sides of a wall, with one side facing forward. Some believe the Luohan bed evolved from the Maitreya couch. Gradually, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Luohan bed became a tool for entertaining guests. Two people can recline and chat on it, somewhat like a large two-seater sofa.
Plank Bed
A plank bed, consisting of a basic headboard, footboard, folding side rails, and a frame, is the most common style. Although simple, the headboard and footboard can create different styles; the streamlined sled bed is the most popular style. If space is limited, or if you don't want to feel restricted, you can omit the footboard to make the bed feel larger.
Four-Poster Bed
Originating from the four-poster beds used by European nobility, this style allows for the most expansive and romantic imagination. Classic four-poster beds feature intricate carvings representing different stylistic periods; modern country-style four-poster beds can be made more lively and personalized by using different patterned fabrics.
Bunk Beds
