Best Platform Bed Reviews

Minimalists will appreciate that this bed frame has no footboard or headboard. It’s a metal frame that offers 13 inches of clearance, which allows you to store all sorts of bins or boxes underneath. It’s lightweight, so you can easily move it from your front door to your bedroom, and it’s easy to assemble with no tools required. Zinus claims this frame is quiet, so you shouldn’t hear any creaking or squeaking when you lay down or get up from bed.

Whether you use a traditional spring mattress, latex or memory foam mattress, this frame will work with all of them. If you want to attach a separate headboard, you can. Otherwise, this is a simple metal frame at an affordable price that does exactly what you need it to. The Twin and Twin XL sizes will support up to 750 pounds, while all other sizes can hold up to 1500 pounds of weight.

Not all platform beds are simply solid or slatted. Classic Brands offers an adjustable base that lifts at the head and foot of the bed, which can be used with memory foam, latex and adjustable-bed-friendly mattresses. You get a wireless remote that allows you to easily adjust the bed for comfort or medical reasons. There’s a foot bar included, which prevents your mattress from sliding down when you have the bed in a raised position. Plus, Classic Brands includes a USB port, so you can charge your phone or other mobile devices from your bed. As a bonus, this frame includes a vibrating massage that you can activate with your remote.

Zipcode’s Colby is both study and stylish. The frame itself is made of wood, as are the slats on the base. Each slat is positioned about 4.3 inches apart, which makes this an ideal base for any mattress type. The headboard is upholstered in dark gray fabric squares. It’s a contemporary design that works well for a masculine or feminine style bedroom. Although this one is sturdy, it’s only designed to hold about 700 pounds for the queen size. You should always consider the weight of your mattress, so this frame is best for those of average weight. It isn’t particularly low to the ground, but you won’t be able to store large suitcases underneath as it only has about 6 inches of clearance.

The cherry finish of this solid wood platform matches well with any decor. Zinus is a popular name in the sleep industry, and offers a wide variety of choice for whatever aesthetic appeals to you. The Wen 12-Inch Wood Platform Bed is simplistic in its design, but still timeless and an extremely sturdy frame fit for any mattress. The slatted design makes it ideal to support your mattress, and with a 9 inch clearance underneath, the surface height can even be raised more with a box spring and innerspring mattress if desired.

The slats sit within a slight groove to keep from shifting, and a foam padded tape helps keep your mattress from moving on the slats as well. A center support rail and added legs keeps the bed sturdy to provide a weight limit of up to 500 pounds. Although many basic frames are able to support a head and/or separate footboard, this one doesn’t have the hardware to make them compatible.

A solid steel frame like this one from Olee is strong and sturdy enough to handle heavier mattresses, without bending under its weight or yours. This is a simple design which may be preferable for those who don’t want their bed to be the focal point of the bedroom. Olee claims that this frame can handle up to 600 pounds, which means it’s an excellent choice for those who are overweight. The metal slats are widely spaced, so it’s best to use it with a traditional spring mattress rather than a memory foam mattress. Memory foam needs the ventilation that this provides, but it may start to slide in between the slats.

One of the best things about buying a platform bed is that the beauty of the bed frame itself shines. A box spring can sometimes show over the frame, which can be unsightly. Grain Wood Furniture’s Shaker platform bed is classic in its design, which complements almost any bedroom decor. The wood itself is pine, but it’s finished in a cherry or espresso color depending on your preference. The slats on the platform are also wooden and are spaced only 3 inches apart, which makes this a great choice for any type of mattress. You get the ventilation from the slats, but also the necessary support for mattresses that require closely positioned slats. It’s only meant to hold about 500 pounds, so it’s best for those of average weight.

Zinus bed frames are amongst the best-selling items in their category because they provide excellent value for the price. Eliminating the need for a box spring, this bed frame has a gorgeous espresso finish and comes with its very own headboard to provide insulation and keep that pillow from falling between the wall and the bed.
