subject: What Are Some Of The Main Advantages Of Owning A Platform Storage Bed Today [print this page] If you are planning to redo a bedroom then you may want to consider something besides a bed with mattress and box spring. Do you know what are some of the main advantages of owning a platform storage bed?
Usually a standard bed can store shoes and maybe wrapping paper underneath. A platform bed can be several inches higher and so store deeper containers. While that may seem like a small gain, you might be shocked at what fits now that did not fit under the old style bed frame.
A storage box that holds records can be placed in the central area under the platform. You might put records or items that you only need seasonally or periodically there. Surround the bed with items you need more frequently. Now there is no wasted space and less room for dust.
A platform bed with inset legs can go into a room that is very small indeed. The inset allows the bed to get closer to the wall and still avoid the baseboard trim. The trim and casings can hold standard beds several inches off and use up floor space.
Baseboard hot water heating can really steal floor space. Inset legs can save every single inch by riding much higher than the fixture. In a really small room, this could allow a queen-size bed to fit where a full-size would normally be the best you could squeeze in.
But there is the style advantage as well. Platform beds are sleek and seem to float in the room. They are a far cry from the clunky and chunky standard box spring and mattress setup. And you can save a few dollars when you skip the box spring part of the set.
So, what are some of the main advantages of owning a platform storage bed today? Just great design, great storage, great use of space and good use of money. And, they are rather fun as well.
