Platform Bed Shopping Guide
March 11th, 2011Platform beds, due to their simplicity and their inclination to minimalist design, had been the household’s and interior designer’s choice when it comes to redecorating bedroom space. But for those who are still in the clasp of the yesteryear’s popularity of box spring type beds would probably ask “What I should look forward to when buying platform beds?”
Platform beds are available in a wide array of styles, designs, materials and sizes. Twin and full size bed can be used for kid’s bedroom instead of buying several or double deck bed while queen and king size platform beds are best suited for master or guest rooms.
The design itself of platform beds obsoletes the use of box spring. With the box spring type of bed, the spring supports the weight of the mattress. But with platform beds, it is the wooden slabs that support the mattress making the foundation of the platform bed stronger compared to box spring type of bed. We all know that box spring with continued and longer usage loses its strength. This is actually one of the downside of having a box spring type of bed.
Scouting online is a good way to canvass platform beds as one can see the prices that is within the buyer’s price range. One can also look for other resources such as interior design magazine to have additional idea and more tips on choosing the right one for your bedroom.
If you are into minimalist design then one cannot go wrong with platform beds because of the simple nature, uncluttered look, and simple yet elegant design. The purpose of the platform bed design is to minimize distraction and allow the graceful beauty of a few choice furniture pieces to affect the feel and atmosphere of the room.
