Platform Beds

With its sleek lines and simple appearance, a platform bed frame will elevate any space. But what are these innovative beds, and why should you buy one? We've answered all the most frequently asked questions to help you make the right choice.

A platform bed is a type of bed frame designed to be low to the ground, either with only a small amount of space between the floor and the frame or no space at all. Some low-rise bed frames have a small headboard to rest against, whereas others have no headboard at all.

The number one benefit of a low-profile bed frame is its compact appearance. It is suitable for any room size but ideal for those running short of space. They're great in lofts, as the lower height reduces the risk of hitting your head on a slanted ceiling! Another great advantage is that the minimal frame helps to make a room seem larger than it is.

Our low bed frames are available in the following sizes:

• Single platform beds (3' x 6'3", 90 x 190cm)
• Small double platform beds (4' x 6'3", 120 x 190cm)
• Double platform beds (4'6" x 6'3", 135 x 190cm)
• King-size platform beds (5' x 6'6", 150 x 200cm)

Yes, you can use any mattress with these innovative beds! The only restriction is if you have a Japanese-style bed with a headboard. As these tend to have lower headboards, you will usually need a mattress that is not too high to allow the headboard to function as intended!
