Why Platform Bed Frames May Be Great For Your Family

Platform bed frames offer a unique advantage over beds like day beds or wall beds. This sub category of furniture has found a unique niche in bedroom furniture and looks like it’s here to stay. In this article we’ll talk a little bit about platform beds and what they have to offer your family.

Platform bed models make use of just a mattress and no box spring. The reason for this is that these beds have a built in foundation so a box spring foundation is not required. This does a couple of things from a design standpoint.

First, the look is cleaner in terms of overall form. There is more space beneath the bed which frees up storage possibilities or creates room to incorporate under bed storage units. This isn’t really possible with beds designed for a mattress/box spring.

Second, more design elements can come into play since the only piece of bedding is a mattress. Designs can be wide wider or taller without having to consider that a box spring unit is being placed below the mattress. Edges of the frames can be designed closer to the mattress and a recess can also be created that makes it appear like mattresses are floating.

Third, the platform bed itself can now accommodate other design aspects which include options to modify the look and design of the bed. These might include changing the height of the bed or the height of the headboard in relation to the mattress. There might also be other modifications possible such as changing the height of the platform bed to accommodate a box spring unit if you so desired.

Platform beds have a lot to offer in the way of bedroom design. Their lower profile designs allow you to show more of your bedroom and make it easier to create the look you want. The additional storage available with platform bed frames also make them a great choice for any bedroom. Remember too that many platform bed frames incorporate design elements that will blend well with any modern décor. Keep platform bed frames in mind when you’re ready to find a new bed. They won’t disappoint.
