Well, here’s a start, platform beds are a popular style of bed that fit many needs and wants in a bed. They may have been thought of as a style of beds for a kids’ room, but they are more than that. Platform beds work in any bedroom and some of the designs are absolutely beautiful. Here are a few reasons you should look into a platform bed for your room.

1. Eliminates parts

When you have a typical bed that consists of the frame, rails and mattress and box spring, this means there are a lot of pieces, or parts to the bed. When it comes to moving or setting up the bed, you have a lot of parts to assemble, with first being the bed rails. You have to make sure the bed rails fit the size mattress set you have, then get it all put together. With platform bed, you eliminate a lot of the hassle of setting up bed rails, having to make sure you have a good box spring that is in good, working condition and still offers good support, and finally, the final product, being the mattress. With a platform bed, you just have the mattress to contend with, which makes life a lot easier when it comes time to setting up, or dealing with your bed.

2. More space

With a platform bed, you get the added space of having more storage under the bed. The bed is raised up off of the floor and leaves you more space to store things under the bed. With a traditional bed, the bed rails are typically close to the floor and do not allow much space between them and the floor for storage. If you like the idea of having more space to store things under a bed where they are hidden away, a platform bed should be a consideration.

3. Cheaper

As mentioned before, a traditional bed has many more parts than a platform bed. This means there is more cost involved when you purchase the bed. You have to purchase everything separate, unless a store is offering a deal with the purchase of the mattress and box spring together as a set. Even still, if you plan on getting a headboard and frame, this will be included in your out-of-pocket expenses in order to have a complete bed ensemble. If you do not want to have all of the individual expenses, a platform bed gives you all of the above, in one bed set: headboard and frame, along with the support system that the bed rail and box spring is used for, in a traditional bed.

4. Great looks and contemporary designs

Platform beds are neat, clean, and unique looking. If you love the look of straight lines and curves, platform beds are some of the most unique styles of beds that give you this look, and eliminate the look of high headboards and posts. Furniture stores have begun to carry this modern look and design, more and more in their stores, recognizing the increase in desire for the more modern, contemporary look in a bedroom. Although the platform beds all have a commonality about them, there are still a lot of differences between the designs, colors, and choices, that you are sure to find just the right platform bed to compliment the style of your modern bedroom, and your personal taste.
