You might be wondering—what exactly makes platform beds different from conventional bed frames? Essentially, a platform bed frame uses wood slats (instead of a solid wood sheet) upon which the mattress directly sits. A regular bed, on the other hand, usually uses what’s called a ‘box frame,’ which requires a box spring. Because platform beds do not need this box spring, it looks and feels lighter and perfect for minimal, contemporary spaces. Platform beds can be made of wood or metal and can be finished in different ways, so you are sure to find the perfect one to complement your interior design.
The platform bed has become extremely popular in the recent years, and for good reason. It is now the top choice for people who find traditional box spring beds to be unattractive and cumbersome. It is also easier to move and works fantastically with modern homes.
The platform bed offers many advantages. The slat system provides optimal support for the mattress. What’s more, it allows air to freely circulate freely through the mattress—and this has been shown to prevent mold and dust-mites. For homeowners looking for a better way to sleep, a platform bed may be the answer. You can take a step further and choose a mattress made of organic latex to make your bedroom even healthier.
Platform bed frames are also sturdier than conventional box style beds. What’s more, they are greener and more economical because they don’t use up a lot of resources to produce. These platform beds rest closer to the ground, providing a sleeker look to any space. For a small room, a platform bed is the best choice because it is less obtrusive. The result is an elegant and contemporary look that is hard to achieve with bulky traditional beds.
