Ok, I saw the trailer (which you can see below) and it is our Campaign Canopy bed, and I believe it is Carrie Bradshaw’s. Now whether Mr. Big is in it, or stays in it is still unknown. We will still have to see the movie to find out!
Here’s the bed…. romantic and elegant just like you. (we hope) 
Well, I believe that’s a bit strong, but I was shocked to see our Campaign Bed in the new “Sex In The City” movie though. Actually, that’ a bit strong too because I haven’t actually seen the movie, but somebody told me they saw it and then I remembered that we did indeed sell a bed destined for that very movie set. But now I am going to have to see it to find out whose bedroom it is actually in (I forgot to ask) and what happens in, on or around it. I could see Carrie having it because it is a very clean, simple and straightforward design and well, with Mr. Big, it might be rocking but would never be squeaky. Or is more Charlotte’s style; traditional and refined with a twist? Samantha and Miranda seem less likely, but who knows? Lovers, kids, shoes? I guess I will have to see. Or you can comment and tell me…. Wherever it is, the Campaign iron bed is definitely a bed that is flexible in style but not in quality.

Be sure to check out the wikipedia article on our founder Charles Platt Rogers. It has a lot of interesting information about the company and it’s very historical beginnings.
You can find it here:
Some of our customers may have questions about the environmental practices of our company. As a company whose livelihood is dependent on managing and utilizing renewable natural resources, we share your concerns regarding any practices that are detrimental to this goal. Our position has always been and continues to be that:
1. All personal possessions require one’s stewardship of the common resources of the earth. Whether it is a car or a bed, responsible consumers create responsible practices by their choices.
2. Choosing a Roger’s bed and making that investment in resources both natural and personal is a long term investment that should be carefully considered.
3. We believe a product that will remain useful for generations and is manufactured with careful and thoughtful use of resources is far more sound than one with feel good credentials that will need to be replaced in the near future because it does not last.
Because of our concerns, on a consistent basis we attempt to use pre-consumer and recyclable materials in all of our products and packaging. We have recently redesigned our packaging to better protect our products while at the same time using less packing materials. We always pay fair market pricing for all of our raw materials such as steel, wood, brass and leather rather than simply looking for the lowest price, which can often indicate a companies questionable environmental practices. As a priority, we work to develop long term relationships with companies who harvest or manufacture raw materials in an ecological sound manner. By doing so, we can insure our buying power will have a positive influence on how these raw materials are harvested or manufactured.
As a result, a caring person might comfortably choose one of our plantation mahogany beds as the wood is grown on tree farms not harvested from the rain forest. Our American cherry is also a good environmentally friendly choice as it is grown in the North East US on second growth, highly managed woodlots. Our use of highly skilled craftsmen who hand sort, cut and handwork our beds also creates a far better yield with our wood than high production manufacturers. Each piece of our wood is carefully selected for it’s purpose rather than being just a part in a large scale production run where machinery dictates the process.
All of our iron and brass beds are fully recyclable if need be, but luckily will have a lifetime far too long to make this necessary. Wherever possible, we always use raw materials and manufacture our products to create the lowest environmental impact as possible.
We believe that a concerned consumer must weigh the options and responsibility when purchasing any product. We at Charles P. Rogers hope the quality, design, durability and lifespan of our products will not only bring you comfort, enjoyment and beauty, but will also contribute to reducing the “throw-away” tendency of our society and its negative consequences on our environment.
I wrote a while back about our solid Mahogany Solide platform bed and Poole headboard. Today we are very excited about offering another super clean and adaptable platform bed. Our new Mies platform bed is a unique adaptation of a classic design, updated to be a more functional, sturdy and flexible bed for today’s mattress sizes and configurations. Rather than using a metal bed frame, our beautifully rounded and thick perimeter of solid Cherry or Mahogany creates a modern, refined and strong platform for your mattress. A padded and upholstered deck eliminates the cost and “aesthetics” of a traditional box spring for a very clean, minimalist effect (actually, the Mies or Solide costs about the same as a decent box spring and it is a lot easier to move!!) Stainless steel feet are a contrasting and sturdy finishing touch.
For a fuller modernist look, all of our Poole headboards can be used with both our Mies or Solide platform beds. The Poole headboard easily attaches to any wall and can be adjusted to just the right height for any mattress thickness, giving you the perfect fit every time. The Poole can also be ordered by itself if you would like to use it with your own metal bed frame or other platform bed. The Poole comes in White or Cocoa full grain leather and also in Cream or Cocoa soft ultra suede micro and is very reasonably priced.
The Miesand Solide are also available as daybed packages that come with a king size Poole headboard in your choice of fabric or leather for a unique option for a guest room, office or anywhere else you fancy.
Check them out. For $, simplicity and style, they can’t be beat.
