A platform bed is a bed where the base of the bed is a raised, flat, hard, horizontal surface for supporting the mattress. These beds are not very glamorous but they are ideal for those who prefer a simple style without all the glamour and fuss.
These beds are very firm because of the texture of the base and the fact that they are supported by slats, which make it unnecessary for you to use a box spring or some other type of mattress support.
Platform beds are much cheaper than most other beds, and they have been around for quite some time and will probably be around for decades to come.
These types of bed are not very high off the ground and this makes it easier of them to fit in smaller apartments that the more elaborate types of beds.
They come in a variety of sizes and styles providing simple lines and sleek designs and have increased in popularity over the past years. Platform beds can be customized to suit your needs, for instance you can purchase an additional mattress for that added support, which can easily be done.
You simply have to get a mattress that is the exact size as your current mattress and you are all set. You will find several links on this page to sites that offer a wide selection of platform beds.
