Solid Comfort with Platform Beds
| Platform beds have become all the rage in the bed market today. With their sturdy solid wooden platform and their height above the floor, they are a great choice for many reasons. Platform beds are built with either wooden slats or solid paneling, providing a firm cushioning and a great solution for people with back problems. In addition, since they do not require a box spring or a mattress foundation, the mattress will remain even over time and won’t sag. Platform beds come in various styles and serve to blend beautifully with any existing décor, or to create a new dramatic look. |

Added Benefits with Platform Beds
Platform beds provide two additional benefits, particularly for children’s rooms. Since they don’t require a box
spring or mattress foundation, they are lower to the ground then many other beds. For young children, this can be an added safety feature and an easy structure
for climbing in and out of the bed. Platform beds are a great answer for small children for this reason. In addition, platform beds offer a cozy storage space
under the bed. Purchasing a set of drawers to fit under the bed, or simply placing small bins there will afford extra storage space and a great location for toys
and extra clothes.
Bedroom Style Options
Platform beds blend beautifully with virtually any style. Some of these beds have a more
contemporary feel with straight clean lines and a single colored finish. Modern styled platform beds look superb in contemporary themed homes. In addition,
with their neutral colors and clean lines, they also fit nicely with other styles; they can easily accompany other wooden furniture such as a cedar nightstand
or chest of drawers. Another common platform bed style is the more traditional
Mission styled platform bed. This style is greatly influenced by the Arts &
Crafts era of furniture. The scrolled headboard gives this style its traditional feel while remaining true to the stylistic design of the platform construction.
The Mission styled platform bed looks great accompanied by wooden night stands and other similarly themed items. When choosing a mission bed, a deep wood
finish often creates the best effect; this finish exudes a royal, polished look and a traditional feel.
