Concord Adjustable Platform Bed with Raised Panel Footboard

One of the hottest trends in contemporary design is utilizing sleek platform beds to create a modern bedroom. This trend is evident in both adults’ and children’s bedroom design. These fashionable and modern beds began as loft beds, the staple of college dorm rooms. Little more than a flat surface with long legs to elevate the mattress nearly to the ceiling, loft beds gave students more available floor space in their Spartan quarters. The Modern Platform Bed has dropped from its lofty height to a spot nearly on the floor. Most are very low slung and have simple lines, which gives them a more contemporary style.

The mattress rests directly on the surface of a platform bed, eliminating the need for a box spring. This is quite a money saving detail. Because there is no box spring, there is extra room under the bed. Many platforms also function as storage beds, including under-bed drawers like the Concord Adjustable Platform Bed. This model has two large drawers for storing linens, pillows, clothing or any number of other items that might otherwise become distracting clutter.

The Concord Bed is an excellent solution for small bedrooms or insufficient closets. This functional and stylish bed is made by Atlantic Furniture. It is one of their many designs which range from cottage to contemporary and from mission to modern. With so many choices of affordable bedroom furniture and exception quality pieces, you’ll be sure to find just the right items to create the bedroom of your dreams.
