A Platform Bed Can Be Good for Your Back

The popularity of platform beds continues to grow. People seem to be searching them out more frequently than a standard bed. Many who have not experience a platform bed are still confused as to what makes them so different.

Wooden and metal platform beds have been popular for many years. They have not changed much simply because they are comfortable and uncomplicated. The difference between a platform bed and a standard bed frame is that the standard frame requires a box spring. A box spring is essentially how it sounds. A wooden frame contains springs and is covered with material. Your mattress is placed on top of the frame. However, since both mattress and box spring contain springs, they will push against one another. Experts suggest that this can create tension and sore spots on the body including your back.

Platform beds are not only popular due to their chic look, but also because many people find them to be more comfortable. Your mattress is supported by a wooden slat system. This provides a proper support system for any style of mattress. By getting rid of the box spring, you get rid of the extra pressure from the springs. Whether you are looking for a traditional of contemporary bed, a platform style may prove to be much more comfortable.

Mission style furniture is characterized by vertical slats, straight, clean lines, and a modest design using little building material. Mission style pieces are generally finished in a light to medium shade and as a rule, are never painted. These pieces are meant to look as natural as possible, and painted wood does not look natural. A good example of a Mission style wooden bed is the Augusta Bed with Frame by Fashion Bed Group.

Assemble it, and it’s ready to accommodate your mattress and box spring. This bed would look beautiful with a simple, solid color sheet set and a handmade quilt.
