It stands to reason that generations upon generation were brought up in old iron beds and those same people raised their children in iron cribs
In the very early 1800’s the population in this country had become very accustom to and happy with wooden bed frames. When iron beds were first introduced to the public, they were strictly utilitarian and little ornamentation and design were offered.

Draping was a very popular design element, when it came to fancier iron beds.
