What is a Platform Bed? -

by: Elizabeth Morgan

A platform bed is a bed with no springs that is often raised on legs or framework to provide storage or “breathing” space. Platform beds are great for people who want a simpler look to their bedroom, or who live in tight spaces or small rooms. They provide firm cushioning without the bulk and bounce of a box spring. Oftentimes, people will augment their platform bed with special mattresses made of memory foam, a gel-like substance that conforms to the curves of your body, while offering full support for the skeletal structure.

Platform beds come in various sizes and styles to fit any taste. Whether you want a twin, twin long, full, queen, king, California king, or Eastern king size bed, there is a platform bed for you. Are you looking for a simple, Zen-like bed with nothing fancy whatsoever? Or do you want something a little more lavish, like gracefully swooping curves and an arching canopy?

Platform beds usually come in various types of wood or metal. You can find wood and metal platform beds in traditional, contemporary, Japanese, and other styles. You might want it to be just tall enough to store a few boxes, or you may want it to be lower to the ground for a lower profile, lending a more spacious look to your bedroom.

So platform beds are an interior decorating and organization choice. You can use the bed in your own room, or you can buy it for use as a guest bed. Your guests will love it. No matter what you use your platform bed for, you can find and buy one at an affordable enough price to fit your own budget.
