The All-Around Touch – Country Platform Beds
If you think your bedroom interior requires an alteration, give it. After those years of thriving on a mattress and box spring, your bedroom must use a stimulating viewpoint when it comes to the center of your bedroom design – your bed. If you think you’ll love a mixture of aesthetics and common sense, you’re going to want a platform bed.
While it’s been only lately that platform beds have gained worldwide fancy, they’ve in fact been around for quite some time, even dating back to Ancient Rome. If you’re wondering how the term was invented, a lot of it had to do with the concept of the bed having a platform foundation to prop itself up. For this to be methodically possible, a platform bed has to be low-set in order to avoid drooping of the platform and the mattress of top of it.
While a platform bed’s foundation may differ from one manufacturer to another, it’s more commonly made with a roll of wood or metal slats strapped tightly jointly, with its rails providing an outcrop behind the slats. Additional types would have solid panels which also rest on a ledge but are intended to accommodate mattresses which aren’t made for anything short of a hard surface.
Platform beds may look dull on their own but with the right playing up, they could really perform. In fact, these beds are very much available in different styles and designs. Some come as solid wood, particularly oak, pine, maple, cherry or mahogany when they’re made in the United States. Imported ones would usually be made of rubber wood which is as durable as any solid wood. Platform beds could even come in metals with varied designs ranging from traditional to contemporary.
An lead of having a metal platform bed is its versatility as metal can be finished in a lot of different hues and shapes. Metal platform beds usually stand on a metal cross bar system right across the middle while some come with Masonite cover the crossed metals to add support. Whether they come in wooden or metal platforms, these beds can come as cheap bedroom furniture with a promise of quality if you now where to look and how.
Another favorite feature of platform beds is a lot of free space under. Since a platform bed does not have a box spring, there’s ample freedom underneath it to create great designs for storage systems such as drawers which work great for storing extra beddings.
