Take a simple, elegant frame, add a single mattress and you get a platform bed. Platform beds have been used in Europe and Japan for hundreds of thousands of years. The frame of the platform bed can be made of wood or metal. The most simple platform bed has no headboard and certainly no canopy. They have slats which replace the need for a box spring, which makes them very comfortable, yet flexible and they result in a good night’s sleep.
You can also have a more complex one. There is always the option to add a headboard or a footboard. You can also add a canopy or even extra flourishes and storage units. The storage units can be incorporated in the bed as one, or you can have rolling drawers supported by castors for easy movement and maneuver.
With the rapid proliferation of memory foam, your platform can be even more comfortable and healthy. The memory foam adjusts and accepts your shape and bone structure and supports them fully. It has become a very popular mattress and pillow material.
If you want to get your hands on a platform bed and make it yourself, it is not the most difficult job in the world. You can order platform bed plans from a retailer, such as woodworking clubs or furniture groups, or you can buy them online.
