Bed Canopy Tops and More (Home)

Bed Canopy Tops, by Hand Tied Bedding Co.

Bed Canopy making began for us in the early eighties, when three generations of our family were involved in providing canopies for bed owners. Since we began Heirloom Canopies (est. 1993) and Hand Tied Bedding Co. (online est. 2001), we have helped so many customers achieve the canopy bedroom of their very best dreams. Our canopies are always beautiful, excellent quality, and always USA made.

Canopy Types – Explore Our Shop Offerings

Bed Canopy Tops, Covers, Curtains

  • Bed canopies, also known as bed testers, tops, toppers, covers or coverings.
  • Long bed curtains, for your tester or canopy bed’s side rails, head and/or foot rails. Available as sets, or for headers or footers only.
  • Valances, “short bed curtains”, for your bed’s perimeter railings. Rather than having your bed top covered, like our canopy tops/covers, these short styles bring a decorative touch, but allow you to leave the top space open.

Canopy Frames (crafted by a woodworking partner) for 4 Poster Beds

  • Wood crafted frames or support rails, custom made, in order to transform your four poster into a canopy bed that will support your beautiful coverings. We partner with James Osborne (Frames by James), particularly to provide these for our customers who are in need of frames for their 4 Poster Beds.

Our Bed Canopy Artisan Techniques

Canopies Made by Knotting, Tying, Tasseling

We make our hand tied canopy bedding styles for you using expert knotting, tying and tasseling skills. This artistry has been around for centuries, but, the name reference for it varies. While some within the furniture, antique, or bedding industries know or refer to our canopy design styles as lace canopies, others may say they are crochet/crocheted canopies. Also, because our knotted canopies’ patterned designs are made up of cotton tassels, some others may refer to our items as being made by macramé. Other names for the hand tied canopy bedding include, fishnet canopies, knotted bed tops, fringed, or netted.
