Bedding canopies

Bedding canopies are often used as a feature of interior design. While they are not needed to keep insects at bay in most American homes, they are still used as a decorative technique. They are an especially popular design for the bedroom of pre-teen and teen girls.

Bedding canopies were originally used as a means of reducing the possibility of being bitten by a number of flying insects. They have been used extensively in locations that are prone to diseases such as malaria and sleeping sickness. Anyone planning on travelling through these areas should bring a canopy along for the trip.

Bedding canopies have been used for centuries. They provided an extra bit of privacy and protection for many medieval period Europeans. They have also been used extensively throughout Africa and Asia as well.
