The platform bed, sometimes referred to as a cabin bed, is a bed that is raised and usually has a rectangular solid-wood frame, often with a section consisting of several rows of flexible wooden slats or a latticed-type structure meant to support only a mattress. This platform provides adequate, flexible support and ventilation for a mattress by itself, eliminating the need for a box-spring or a second mattress as a foundation. This article will lay out, so to speak, the advantages of platform-beds in general, as opposed to promoting any particular style of platform-bed. Pretty as a Picture First of all, platform-beds offer a more elegant appearance with their versatile wooden frames, which come in many different styles, modern and traditional. This quality lends a bedroom an aesthetic appeal that most conventional bed-frames lack, as the picture above reveals. Located in Boulder, CO, Haiku Design’s offers a wide array of attractive platform-beds made from a variety of solid woods, such as mahogany, bamboo, walnut, cherry, maple, and ash, so take your pick, depending on your vision for interior design.

Fancy as a Castle In most cases, platform-beds are made from solid wood, instead particle-board that includes unnatural materials, such as toxic binders and glues. This quality has obvious environmental values, allowing the consumer to make ecologically sound choices and feel socially responsible, which is becoming more of a concern with conscious buyers, in a world where Nature itself is being threatened every day. Sturdy as a Hearth Solid wood bed-frames are also sturdy, so they last a long time. At the same time, they are softer and warmer than metal bed-frames. The slats or lattice structure is much easier to transport, when moving to a new location, since they can be folded up tightly and tied together with bungee cords. This advantage makes the slats easier to carry, and they take up a lot less space in a truck or a storage-unit, compared to a heavy, bulky box-spring. If you have a need for a bed-frame that sits higher off the ground, for an easy exit, then consider these other options

Sexy as a Romance When one considers the long history of platform-beds, one begins to see that they have an exotic quality. Based on their modern design, one could say that they have an almost erotic quality. When we combine the past, present and future, you could even go so far as to say that they have a sense of mystery. So, if you live nearby, then pay Haiku Designs’ showroom a visit in person to prostrate yourself on one their platform-beds to see if it makes for a good fit, and if you live farther away, then visit Security Systems Suppliers, where you will find a site worthy of your time.
