A platform bed is characterized by its
simplicity and low profile. It consists of a platform and a mattress. It
has no box springs. It can be high or low, close to the floor. Many people swear that they sleep better on a bed that is firm and close to the ground. A platform bed supports good posture because the mattress will not sag. You can choose the type and thickness of mattress to soften your sleep and rest assured that your body will be well supported. A platform bed can provide the most comfortable and healthiest way to sleep. While platform bed frames come in a great variety of sizes and styles, they can be separated into two basic categories of materials: wood and metal. Either type can be beautiful and elegant. Wood Platform Beds A wood platform bed frame can be made of pine, walnut, maple, cherry, teak, rosewood, mahogany, cedar, pecan, honey or red oak, and more. Hardwoods, of course, are more durable than soft woods like pine, but a well-constructed platform bed of softwood can be just as sturdy. A softwood can also be stained or veneered to make it look like a more expensive wood. Wood platform beds may be made of solid wood or a wood composite with veneer. When shopping for a wood frame, you will run into terms like “natural,” “cappuccino,” “black,” and many others. These terms mean they are made of strong particleboard or wood, but they may be painted or otherwise altered to look different. Solid wood is more expensive than particle board, but any of these choices can be beautiful. You’ll want to choose a frame that blends in with your décor and goes with your taste. Metal Platform Beds Metal platform bed frames come in many different colors. They are generally made of steel in tubular or sheet metal form. They don’t need to be painted or stained and are low maintenance. You only need to dust or wipe them with a wet cloth once in a while. However, they can be scratched and they lack the warmth and earthy feel of wood. Platform bed frames can be the ultimate in simplicity or have headboards and footboards. Many people who are attracted to platform beds go for simplicity, as this is why they are drawn to them in the first place. However, others enjoy a lovely, elegant touch of ornamentation or a canopy for hanging veils, decorations, or curtains. A carved canopy might go uncovered so you can enjoy the craftsmanship. You can customize a platform bed to exhibit the greatest simplicity or the most fantastic imagination.
