A Brief History of Platform bed
The Platform bed isn’t necessarily a new invention. Rather, it is more of an evolutionary concept as the first platform beds could be better defined as Loft beds. These beds were raised on four poles, so as to use the bottom area as a workstation or extra living space. However, as times and trends moved on, the beds became lower and lower. They eventually got to the point where it is today, very close to the ground, giving birth to the modern day platform bed.
What makes platform beds different from others is the lack of a necessary box spring and slats for support. Although some may still use a box spring, it is more common to see platform beds without it. Also, instead of wooden or metal slats to support the bed, most use a straight flat base to support the mattress. Headboards and Footboards are also sparingly used in platform beds; however some still may incorporate them.
