As homes have become larger, rooms have expanded and naturally bed sizes have followed suit.  It wouldn't be America if bigger wasn't better.  I upgraded to a King Bed myself.  Though we all desire more sleeping space and mattress surface area, nothing beats the beds that were made in the 1920s - 1940s.  ![Mahogany Full Bed](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/hs-fs/file-15646665-jpg/images/uimg_2110.jpg?width=195&height=199&name=uimg_2110.jpg) These beds are solid as a rock and super sturdy. Most of them take a standard size full bed and you can even get an inexpensive converter kit that will extend the length and width of your bed so that it can accpet a Queen Mattress.   ![Solid Mahogany Full Bed](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/hs-fs/file-15640169-jpg/images/mahogany_bed.jpg?width=205&height=172&name=mahogany_bed.jpg)Some great qualities of the beds built in this era are: - They were built of solid woods such as Solid mahogany or Rock Maple. - The decorative detail was often created by hand. - They are made to last and have almost outlived one generation and will likely outlive another. - They are very affordable as they sell for between $300 - $1,200 depending on condition and style. ![Tiger Maple Full Bed](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/hs-fs/file-15644081-jpg/images/tiger_maple_bed.jpg?width=211&height=164&name=tiger_maple_bed.jpg) Beds from this era may not be the bed of choice for your master bedroom, but, I bet one of these beds would fit great in most any other room in your home. Perfect for a guest room or a growing child.  These beds add elegance, beauty and long lasting quality to any home. 5 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/bid/48407/Nothing-beats-the-Beds-of-the-1920s#comments-listing) Topics: [Value of Your Furniture](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/topic/value-of-your-furniture), [Furniture quality](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/topic/furniture-quality), [Solid Mahogany](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/topic/solid-mahogany), [Solid Wood](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/topic/solid-wood) [All posts](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/all)       ![](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Evergreen%20Images/jay-45.jpg?width=200&name=jay-45.jpg "jay-45.jpg") Jay Frucci, President and Owner, Furniture Consignment Gallery [**Back to Blog Home**](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/) ### Latest Posts **View [All Posts](https://info.furnitureconsignment.com/all)** Search this site on Google Search Google ### Subscribe by Email ### Follow Me --- **HANOVER** 756 Washington St. (Rt. 53) Hanover, MA 02339 Phone: 781-826-5114 Fax: 781-829-9805   Sunday: 12-5 Monday-Saturday: 10-6 **NATICK**  104 Worcester St. (Rt. 9 East) Natick, MA 01760 Phone: 508-319-5600 Fax: 508-319-5601   Sunday: 11-5 Monday-Saturday: 10-6 **PLYMOUTH** 762 State Rd.
