What is a Platform Bed?

Platform beds, also known as panel beds, have gained popularity in contemporary homes and the field of interior design worldwide.

Their appeal extends beyond minimalist and modern aesthetics, encompassing styles ranging from minimalism to rustic, and accommodating various mattress sizes. What distinguishes platform beds from other types?

Some of these beds create a stage-like appearance in the room, supporting the mattress on a platform, as exemplified in the featured bedroom.

Others utilize a straightforward bed base with wooden slats providing mattress support. However, the common thread among them is the absence of a box spring.

"A platform bed is essentially a bed frame that doesn't necessitate a box spring," clarifies Jess Harrell. "The mattress rests directly on a sturdy frame crafted from either metal or wood. Platform beds typically feature a low profile and a modern aesthetic compared to beds that require a box spring."
