Reply to comment by BarKnight in The family that bought the King's bed for £100 by BarKnight
No King has ever slept in this bed:
The state bed later suffered damage in a fire and a new one was built in 1859 measuring 6ft long and 12ft high, made of walnut with gilt inlay.
As grand as the bed is, none of the subsequent monarchs chose to take up the offer of a sleepover in Parliament.
