When shopping for a new bed, often it may be the case that you need a bed that doesn’t take a box spring for your home. Perhaps the firmness of the box spring is undesirable or maybe it just won’t fit up the stairs or around tight corners. No matter what the reason, it certainly sounds like you’ll need a bed that doesn’t take a box spring and is made for just a mattress. It sounds like you’re looking for a platform bed.

So what exactly is a platform bed then? Platform beds are beds that are designed with a slat support system or solid foundation system that allows you to use just a mattress. No box spring is required. Platform beds are designed to sit higher up off of the ground. The rails are set higher on the headboard and footboard so that when you place your mattress on the bed, it would be roughly at the same height as a bed using a mattress and box spring.

Platform beds today are available in a variety of styles and designs. Traditional styles feature a rustic arts and crafts or mission style appearance and are most often made from oak, maple or ash woods. A variety of stains and finishes are available and many brands will offer you matching case goods such as dressers, chests, nightstands and mirrors. Traditional styles are designed with spindles, slats or more simple features. If you appreciate heirloom furniture design and the classic styling of traditional furniture, this furniture will meet your needs.

Modern platform beds today feature the latest in contemporary styling and design. Many incorporate new materials such as leather, fabric or synthetic upholstery and offer curving and bold designs that exemplify the latest trends in furniture and décor. Vibrant colors and fascinating details make these beds a great choice for modern contemporary homes. If you have a taste for new and exciting furniture designs, modern platform beds are the perfect choice for you.
