Your baby’s crib will be the centerpiece of your nursery. Choosing your crib will be the very first, and most important, task in designing your nursery. You don’t necessarily have to have the exact crib chosen but you do need to have a style in mind. The crib style you choose will determine the style of your baby’s room.

If you choose a traditional style, you will more than likely want a sleigh crib. Sleigh cribs are très chic and their traditional style of elegantly sloped headboards and footboards is what make this crib style a popular choice. Thankfully, there are multiple slope styles and designs for you to choose from, allowing you to incorporate some of your own personal tastes when it comes to making your choice.

Bratt Decor Chelsea Sleigh Crib

This Bratt Decor Chelsea Sleigh Crib is a modern take on the traditional sleigh crib with a fixed gate. It features beautiful relief carvings on the sides (not seen here) and at the foot of the crib. The Chelsea Sleigh Crib is crafted from solid hardwood and hand distressed. But this gorgeous crib can set you back about $1450. Yikes!

Pottery Barn's Larkin Fixed Gate Sleigh Crib

Pottery Barn Kids offers the Larkin Fixed Sleigh Crib. Although this option forgoes the relief carvings on the sides, it is also made from hardwood and features hand carved details (channeled panels). The Larkin Fixed Sleigh Crib is available at Pottery Barn Kids for $1,099. Still pricey but a more affordable choice than the Bratt Decor Chelsea Sleigh Crib.

Young America by Stanley Stationary Sleigh Crib

For a more affordable choice, you might want to consider the Young America Stationary Sleigh Crib – Merlot. This crib does doesn’t have the carving details but it does feature trim on the sides and it’s available in 9 different finishes. Another plus? The side gates pop out and this crib turns into a day bed. I found this crib online for around $779. Almost half the price of the Bratt Decor Chelsea Sleigh Crib!

BSF Baby 4-in-1 Madison Sleigh Crib

This option, by far, is the most affordable. The BSF Baby 4-in-1 Madison Sleigh Crib costs just $239.99! And it is a great option for those of you working with limited space. The headboard and footboard feature elegant slopes and this crib converts into a transitional bed without having to purchase a conversion kit.

So whether your budget is big or small, your little prince or prince will be sleeping like royalty, because a traditional sleigh crib is within your reach.
