A platform bed consists of a mattress that is placed on top of a frame or platform that is made of hard plastic or wood. Some have shelves around the bed's perimeter to keep bedroom covers, comforters, blankets and pillowcases.

When it comes to choosing a bed for your bedroom, there will always be this basic question whenever you choose a platform bed on top of a spring bed. Well these days, most furniture buyers are not only wise buyers but also practical and have adequate budget that are allotted for furnishings. So, these practical buyers prefer a bed that will fit their budget and at the same time still look elegantly stylish.

A spring mattress may cost twice or up to thrice the cost of a regular mattress, which is only required to complete a contemporary platform bed. You can even purchase a standard-sized mattress directly from the mattress factory to get a less expensive but durable one.  By doing this, you can save on purchase price compared to store prices. For the platform, a solid and durable wood can be used and you can actually create your own style even at home if you have a complete set of power tools for easy construction. As a result, you can save on labor costs and delivery charges when you buy a set of platform bed from the furniture store. As a summary, getting a set of platform bed or creating your own is still more practical and stylish without sacrificing the quality, making it more in demand nowadays, than spring mattress bed with metal frames.
