"Why own a platform bed?"

Mattress Only Foundation The first thing to know is platform beds are designed for a mattress only as they already have a built-in foundation consisting of either a slat support system or solid panel system. This means you can discard your existing box spring or you can shop mattress only options and save hundreds on an unnecessary box spring. Most importantly box springs don't always fit around tight corners, platform beds do.

Storage Solutions The second thing is that modern platform beds offer space saving designs. It's because the rails for platform beds are set higher at where you'd normally find the top surface of a box spring. This provides ample space beneath the bed for integrated or independent storage drawers that can make use of this extra space since there is no box spring in the way. In smaller rooms where dressers and chests just don't fit a platform bed with drawers is the perfect solution.

Clean Open Look Lastly platform beds are designed to have a more open and less cluttered look than traditional styles. The reason for this is that while most beds use a metal frame on the floor with the boxspring and mattress on top, platform beds instead use an integrated footboard and rail system that allows for a more cleaner and uniform look all around the bed into the headboard. This also leaves space beneath the bed which creates a clean crisp open appearance.
