From Tom -
I have been prowling the internet, shopping for a ultra modern platform bed and I have settled in on buying from you. Before I take the plunge I have some questions. Do you seriously compromise comfort going with a platform bed? I currently sleep on a high end Stearns & Foster that is very comfortable, however it is now 10 years old so I’m going to buy something. The only reason I want a platform bed is I like the way it looks. Do you use a special type of mattress? My mattress looks appreciably thicker than the ones shown with platform beds. I realize you don’t use a box spring. Will that fact alone effect comfort? I like the way the Asian models look but I think I’d screw up that look if I used a mattress like the one I currently use. Are there mattresses specially made to be used with these beds? I’m completely confused. Can you enlighten me?
Hi Tom,
When using a platform bed, you can use any type of mattress that you like.
The only difference a platform bed will make is that it will firm up the feel of the mattress slightly since the platform does not flex as a box
spring would. Otherwise, any mattress will do and it will just be your preference on the height of the mattress since you will not be using a box
spring.
