Author: What are some of the main advantages of owning a platform storage bed? That is a good question. Certainly they provide extra storage space. But just how they do this is perhaps not exactly obvious.
Space saving is the best-known advantage of the platform bed. You can choose to do without the box spring and gain inches of storage under the bed. Six inches of extra space will allow you to put more than shoes under the bed, much more.
Wrapping paper, spare linens and shoes are fairly common items that go under a bed. But with just a couple more inches of clearance and you get more bang for the buck. Now you can store files that you must to keep but do not need to get through frequently, like old tax records. Then, you can keep other items along the perimeter for instant access.
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.
If your home or apartment uses hot water baseboard heat, then offset legs will provide you with even more floor space. It can be difference between room for a queen-size bed instead of a full-size bed in a really small bedroom.
But there are more than practical advantages. The sleek design puts a modern look in any bedroom. The platform gives a sense of floating on air. It certainly is different from the solid somewhat chunky look of the standard bed. And, you can save money by not buying the box spring part of a mattress set.
So, what are some of the main advantages of owning a platform storage bed? It is a question best answered by you. If sleek design, excellent access to extra storage, good use of space and even saving a little money is obvious, then you can answer yes.
