Canopy beds were first used in the medieval period , but by the 16th century , kings and queens all slept on canopy beds which were covered with a fabric to give the bed a more luxurious and a glamorous look & feel .
Definition :
A canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four-poster-bed. A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed (Wikipedia).
Canopy Beds were covered with fabric , but nowadays they are more modernized by keeping the post visible which gives a more modern feel , also some beds are made of steel , wood or mirror depending on what you prefer , if you would like to have a canopy bed , consider your room to have a spacious feel to give the bed its visibility , also choose what time of bed finish you would like according to your theme .
Here are some images using canopy beds , in different themes :

then I simply started tacking the burlap onto the velcro, creating a tuft of fabric in between the spindles. I left enough fabric at the top to allow it to be discretely tucked beneath the mattress. http://www.amerisleep.com/mattresses.html
