Low Profile Platform Beds

View:

If you're one of the millions of people still tethered to a bulky, cumbersome box spring, its time to come to grips with the fact that you no longer need this fabric-covered wooden apparatus. You've been led to believe that these rectangular monstrosities are necessary to properly support your mattress, and in turn, you, when you sleep. This is simply just not true, at least not anymore. If you join the growing movement (don't worry, it's not a cult or anything like that) to switch to a sleek, contemporary platform bed, you can ditch your needless box spring and free yourself from its evil, elevating grasp.

If you haven't noticed, low profile is in right now. Low profile tires, low-cut jeans, and ultra-slim mobile phones are just a few examples of how all things "low" are sweeping the nation. The platform bed is no exception, my friend. The average platform bed sits 2-5 inches lower than a standard bed, and when you factor in the 6 inches, or so the box spring isn't raising you, you have a serious lack of altitude. And sleeping closer to the ground has its advantages. Ever fall out of a standard height bed? Carpet or no, you're in for a hell of a bruise. With a low-profile platform bed, you don't fall out so much as roll out and onto the floor. You probably won't even wake up.

You might be wondering how a platform bed can support your mattress without a box spring. The secret is a series of sturdy slats spanning the width of the frame. These slats are all the support your mattress needs to do its job. Think about it, there is nothing "springy" about a box spring. All the comfort and support comes from your mattress. In fact, not only is the box spring not a spring, it's also not a box, it's a rectangle. The box spring has been lying to you for years.

A new platform bed is the ideal choice if you're in the market for a bed. Besides adding some contemporary flair to your bedroom, you'll save anywhere from $200-$700 by not having to purchase a box spring. That money can be better spent adding some matching case goods like a new dresser and night stand.

Low Profile Platform Beds

Are you looking to give your bedroom a modern, edgy and updated look? Then look no further and start by adding a low-profile platform bed to your boudoir. Easily complementing any bedroom, low-profile platform beds have been making headway in design circles as of late. With a classy appeal paired with contemporary, minimal designs, these beds simply will add dazzling definition to your bedroom.

When choosing your low-profile platform bed, consider looking for one that's described as such - low-profile. In case you're confused as to which definition of low-profile we're looking at, you can take it in one of two ways: (1) low in height or (2) minimal design. Any way you look at it, profile beds in general will fulfill your interior decorating needs. For those looking for "low in height" low-profile platform beds, flirt with the idea of choosing one that sits about three to four feet from the floor. Anything lower than that will make it difficult for adding underbed drawers or storage containers.

Platform beds are usually noted for their minimal design, making it even easier to style your bedroom around. If understated minimalism is what you're seeking, be sure to weigh all your stylistic options. Clean lines, geometric balance, whether or not you'd like to have both a foot and headboard, and whether you'd like your platform bed to have feet or sit directly on the floor are all design choices you have to think about.

What most people don't usually know about platform beds is that they don't necessarily require having a boxspring; the lack of a boxspring further adds to the contemporary style of the bed. Most platform beds come with wooden slats that lay across the bed frame, supporting your mattress and larger sized platform beds may even include one to two under bed support beams to ensure that the weight of the mattress will be evenly distributed.

With a further understanding of how to choose the ideal low-profile platform bed, giving your bedroom an updated appeal will be easy. Easily the most beautiful asset in any bedroom, the contemporary appeal of a platform bed will add a timeless style that you'll absolutely love.
