Platform Beds

Because platform beds don't require a box spring for support, they provide extra space for storage. And because you don't need to invest in a box spring, platform beds can be more affordable than many other kinds of beds. Platform Beds Are an Economical Choice Platform beds are made with a support system - usually several slats - that firmly holds the mattress. Platform beds work with futon mattresses or innerspring mattresses. If you haven't tried one of these mattresses in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover that technology has made them thicker and more supportive than ever before. You will never miss having a box spring- something both your body and your wallet can appreciate.

Space Conscious
Platform beds are made in all the familiar sizes - twin, full, queen and king. Platform beds naturally have storage space beneath the support platform. Storage space is something no orderly home can do without. Some platform beds are fitted with drawers and cupboards. You might consider a platform bed with bookcase-style headboard for keeping books and keepsakes.

Platform Bed Choices
Platform beds come with a variety of frames to meet your style preferences. Made from metal or wood, or combinations of materials, each frame will complement the look of any room - contemporary, classic, minimal or fancy.

Versatility
If you find a platform bed frame that you like, but want to use a mattress and box spring set you already have, many platform bed frames can be adjusted to hold a box spring. However, when you do use a platform bed with the supporting slats, secure the slats so that they do not move around. Shifting slats can cause uneven support, and cause undue wear on the mattress.

Platform beds are a smart, economical choice for any home, especially for those who value storage space.
