In other designs, they are also integrated with storage functions which make them a practical choice, especially if you have a compact space. Because of its height, you also have more room for flexibility in terms of mattress thickness.

What are the pros and cons of a platform bed?

Like any piece of furniture, step one platform beds come with both pros and cons.

Among their pros is the fact that they do not require a traditional box spring underneath your mattress, saving you some money. Step one platform beds are also excellent when it comes to ensuring plenty of ventilation and airflow, which prevents the build-up of moisture.

Another great benefit is that they can often include storage options such as drawers and open shelves.

We also love the fact that they’re available in a large variety of styles, from the most traditional to industrial and contemporary designs.

As for their cons, step one platform beds aren’t a practical choice for people with disabilities. They aren’t a flexible option either as they aren’t as easy to move around as traditional beds, and they’re more prone to fracturing in the long run, especially with heavyweight sleepers.

Do platform beds ruin mattresses?

Platform beds like the Step One platform bed will not ruin your mattresses. In fact, they provide the right foundation and durable support you are looking for. Platform bed frames or slats that are a maximum of 8 inches apart help maintain the integrity of your mattress, which in turn increases its lifespan. As a bonus, a platform bed frame will promote better spinal alignment giving you restful sleep.

Are platform beds good?

Your step one platform bed comes with a lot of advantages; for example, many people simply enjoy sleeping higher up, further off the ground, and these beds make that possible very quickly.

With a step one platform bed, you also don’t have to worry about purchasing a box spring, which can also save you money. The extra space under your platform bed can also, in many cases, be used as storage—which can help you save space.

All in all, the step one platform bed is a great choice for many people, particularly if you live in small spaces.
