King Platform Bed

By: Tim Andrews
If you are searching for a new bedroom set or even simply a new bed, you might come across a platform bed that will catch your tastes and your eye. Platform furniture originally gained their popularity in European or Asian communities and is quickly making itself popular here in the United States.
King Platform beds will give you the one of the biggest beds on market. Consider purchasing a King or Queen platform bed to allow you the freedom to stretch out without disturbing anyone else. You can, of course, choose any size to fit your needs all the way down to a full or a twin bed.
One of the benefits that make these beds popular is the ability to use a mattress without having to purchase the box spring, which saves you money. These beds are firmer for those that like a more supportive bed and mattress. With the platform bed having a more solid structure than a regular bed, they are also great for slightly larger individuals. In addition to their comfort, platform beds are closer to the ground, allowing ease getting in and out of bed. This makes it convenient for everyone including the elderly.

Should I Consider Platform Beds?

Platform beds are a great alternative to the traditional bed frames that many people have problems with. As far as comfortable beds go, these are quite an improvement over the traditional rails and box spring mattresses that are used in so many households. Many of the beds have an Asian flair that the bedroom furniture reflects. But more important is how the bed actually feels when you are resting upon it. If you are not familiar with how a platform one works, then read on.

The structure of a platform bed is like a wooden box, usually made of hardwood or plywood. You can also find them in metal. Some have the similar look of a traditional bed, yet the mattress rests on a solid platform. You will not have to worry about sleeping on a mattress plus a box spring.
