What do traditional four poster beds look like? They are massive wooden beds, with a total of four columns in each corner of the bed. Those columns support an upper panel, which is also made of wood. The wooden panel helds a curtain, which falls down to the floor. This kind of bed filled a specific task- it offered privacy.
The bed was designed for kings and queens. At that time there were no locks on the doors and anybody could come into their room and discover the naked king and queen. It would have been embarrassing, and also a great shame. Due to that four poster beds were invented.
