Why Choose a Platform Bed?


Platform beds are being more and more popular in recent years – especially in condos and loft spaces that complement its modern style.

The main reason people choose platform beds over traditional ones is to avoid needing a bedspring. Bedsprings can become inconvenient over time –they start to creak after a while, they can break and on top of that, for a new bed, it’s an added cost and an added hassle to get it into the bedroom. Plus, platform beds often have storage drawers underneath, giving you extra space for your items.

That’s why platform beds were invented: to remove the need for a bed spring.
Platform beds are designed so there’s a slight indent in them where the mattress goes. The whole bed is slightly higher than a normal bed, so it makes up for the height a bedspring would normally add. There are a variety of styles, finishes and brands offered, such as South Shore and Modus platform beds.

If you are looking to avoid the additional expense of a boxpring and have more storage space, a platform bed is a great option to consider.
