1. Different Types of Mattress Foundations
PLATFORM BEDS
These are very popular because you can really personalize and organize your sleep space with them
- if you buy one with storage underneath it.
Platform beds can either be space-hogs or space-savers, depending. For instance, in a child's room,
you can find a nice top bunk bed with a futon or desk beneath it. There are also bunkbed sets that fit
a bottom Full-size mattress with an additional Twin-size on top.
For bulkier platform beds, be SURE to include the ENTIRE outline of the platform base you're
thinking about in your measuring calculations. You might need a larger space than simply for the
size of a Twin or Queen mattress, etc.
Usually, you have to put a platform bed together - are you handy? Do you like to put furniture
together or will you need to pay someone to do it for you? Many mattress stores offer this service
for an additional fee.
You can often find some relatively inexpensive platforms at places like Ikea and big chain stores -
but, if you are planning on doing much moving around; try to find one that comes apart and is easy
to put back together.
Also, make sure it's sturdy without alot of little parts needed to put it together. Less little parts
usually means stronger structural integrity and less 'wobbling' as screws loosen over time.
