With many homes today, platform beds, or beds that ordinarily do not have box spring support, are becoming a very popular choice for different reasons.

Platform beds make a design statement. They can be a focal point of the room but may also remain inconspicuous and blend with the room’s overall look. They can go well with any design theme. If you don’t have an eye for decor, a platform bed makes putting a room together a whole lot easier. It’s contemporary, yet very functional and still comfortable. And you can play around with other ideas like going with or without a headboard or foot board.

Most platform beds are made of wood with the mattresses just sitting on top of it. But platform beds may also come in metal, leather, acrylic or even glass.

Price range for platform beds fall between $500 to $6000, depending on the materials used and who the manufacturer is.

I like the very basic look of this platform bed. It almost resembles Asian or Japanese homelife, except that it is made to fit into a contemporary or modern home. This used to sell quite well at West Elm especially since it’s under $500 only. But now the platform bed is already unavailable or out of stock. The only way to have something similar to this, is to make one yourself, with or without the headboard. Does it look like an easy bed to build?

Unlike traditional mattresses that are enclosed in box springs, a platform bed mattress has a slightly different composition. According to Better Sleep Org, they are “firmer” but “less resilient”.

Comfortability has to be taken greatly into account when selecting the right platform bed mattress. Testing out each platform bed mattress whenever possible is the best way to determine if it’s the kind you actually have to buy. When checking, examine or feel whether it’s the right amount of firmness or softness you want from a mattress.

And while comfort is very important, you also need to choose a platform bed mattress that exactly fits the size of your bed frame. Right sizing is important as it can directly have an effect on comfort level as well as durability.

The third but also important factor is the mattress’ features. With the latest innovation in mattress manufacturing today, choosing the best one will undoubtedly be overwhelming. Ask the salesperson about the products you have tried. Inquire of its features and make to have a more informed choice.
