Platform Bed Benefits

Storage

• Some styles of platform beds have storage drawers built into the bed. The bottom section of a platform bed does not have to accommodate a box spring, which leaves the space beneath the mattress available for drawers. For rooms that do not have large closets available or the floor space for an extra chest of drawers, the built in storage provides a few extra drawers for the bedroom. Extra blankets and sheets can be stored in the drawers or off- season clothing.

No Box Spring

• A new mattress set can be an expensive item, but all that is required for a platform bed is a mattress. Wooden or metal slats support the mattress instead of a typical box spring. This can cut the cost of buying a bed and mattress set. The extra money that would typically be spent on a box spring to support the mattress can be used for a high quality mattress.
  Some users prefer using a box spring, and a platform bed can also accommodate this preference. This type of bed is versatile enough to allow you to make the decision on using a box spring or the support slats built into the bed.

Modern Design

• Platform beds are low to the floor and contemporary in their appearance. The beds are a slick design for a modern décor. The lower platform beds are also much less bulky in appearance than a traditional bed design. This creates a feeling of extra space, which is vital in a small bedroom.
  Various designs are available in platform beds from those with headboards to those without. They are also available in every size from California king to twin. The vast selection of designs ensures that there is a platform bed to suit any taste and style.
