Platform beds are designed to support a futon mattress or any mattress alone as opposed to traditional beds which hold the combination of a mattress and box spring. All of our platform beds feature substantial wooden slats to support the mattress. A slatted surface is preferred over a sheet of plywood or particle board for a few reasons. First, a slatted surface allows the mattress to breathe, which prevents the growth of mold. Second, wooden slats weigh less and are less cumbersome to transport. Third, plywood or particle board platforms tend to warp more easily. We carry a wide variety of styles in Twin, Full, Queen, and King sizes. |
