Platform beds are among the most
practical and versatile beds available today. With the
mattress marketplace in the U.S. becoming highly specialized,
the need for conventional headboards and footboards, oversized
and overpriced box springs and mile high mattresses is
diminishing, as interest in alternative bedding including
natural latex, air beds, memory foam, futons, and other
specialized materials skyrockets. Platform beds have been
around much longer than you think, as far back as the
nineteenth century, when bed frames were designed to sit
higher from the ground, and there was no need for a box spring
or foundation piece.

The
mattress was placed directly on top of the deck of the
platform bed, and there was usually a material placed on top
of the slats of the platform so the mattress would not ooze
through over time. Since storage space was at a premium, there
was plenty of extra space underneath the platform bed.
Platform beds are not only functional, but also visually
appealing, offering the sleek, lower profile styling which is
considered highly desirable today. Practically, it’s easier to
sit on the edge of your platform bed, too, since there is no
need for a boxspring piece. We get complaints all day from
customers looking for a bed frame that they do not need a
stepladder to get in and out of! Most platform beds are
available in knock down form, are easily assembled, made from
high quality hardwood materials, and the connecting hardware
is usually case hardened steel, and average assembly time is
about 20 minutes. One of the best benefits of a platform
system when you are using a natural latex, air bed, or foam
bed, is the passive ventilation from underneath, that keeps
your mattress cool and dry. We recommend a platform bed that
has a slat system where the distance between the slats is
equal to or less than 3½”, to allow proper support and to
prevent “oozing” over time . This distance allows optimal
ventilation and provides good continual support across the
entire surface of the bed. A platform bed is really no
different than your conventional bed, except that the deck
surface is higher from the ground, eliminating the need for a
boxspring or foundation piece, saving you money.
One
plus is that you create storage space underneath the platform
bed that you would not have under a conventional bed setup.
And, in many cases, at least half the cost of a good quality
platform bed, such as our platform bed lineup, would be money
saved since you do not need a boxspring. Our platform bed
systems, manufactured by a highly respected furniture
manufacturer called Night And Day Furnishings®, have been
rigorously tested and engineered for extreme load capability,
and can support mattresses such as any brand name memory foam,
air bed, natural latex, futons, urethane foam beds, even
alternative bedding such as Magna-Flex, Nikken, and other
products.
