The Common Denominator

Our super-comfortable, eco-friendly mattress!

Not everyone agrees on what type of mattress works for them. For some, comfort means having a firm mattress for support. For others, comfort means having a super soft mattress that they can sink into. Over the past decade, memory foam mattresses have become increasingly popular because they provide the best of both worlds. It feels like sleeping on a cloud, but still offers the crucial support you need. They are also available in all the standard sizes, so finding one to fit your bed could not be easier. We are excited to announce that our new line of Sleep Green memory foam mattresses are putting a whole new spin on what it means to get a good night’s sleep.

Contest brought to you by Platform Beds Online, the web's best platform bed resource!

Because their designs are very simple and elegant, Asian platform beds – as well as other Asian furniture – are becoming very popular. It is this simplicity and elegance which has made their design become a major influence in the trends of contemporary furniture design and many contemporary beds reflect this.

One other great thing about a contemporary platform bed is that uses an elevated foundation to put the sleeping surface into a nice position that frees up space for storage underneath. This is great for any home where space is a premium commodity, and such a contemporary bed design can be a boon for those who are tidy in putting their things away.

Furthermore, the need for a bulky box spring is obviated by a contemporary bed that has a platform design. These springs are necessary for traditional beds in order to support the mattress, but unfortunately they also compromise sleeping comfort by making use of thin metal cross supports that are very inadequate in providing comfort. A platform design uses a solid panel foundation and/or slat support instead, which gives you the liberty of placing the mattress directly on the frame, as well as having a very chic and minimalist look that is easy to maintain.

Another thing is that when you purchase a platform design bed frame, you can save money and avail yourself of a wise investment. Traditional bed frames can exceed platform designs in cost because you need to pay for three separate components: the box spring, the headboard and the foundation. Platform beds on the other hand, have a foundation that obviates the need for these components.

Time, simplicity, and elegance (all of which define their design) is the reason why Asian platform beds- in addition to other Asian furniture available on Platformbedsonline.com – are becoming so popular. To that extent, the Japanese furniture aesthetic is a major influence on the design trends of contemporary furniture. As such, many contemporary beds utilize the same design elements.

In homes where space is a premium commodity, one of the great things about a contemporary platform bed is that they place the sleeping surface into an elevated position which frees up enough space for storage underneath. The only way such a contemporary bed design could possibly be a bad thing is if you are one of those clutter-prone types who carelessly puts his or her things away under the bed.

Necessary to most beds is a bulky box spring for the purposes of supporting the mattress. However, such beds tend to make use of inadequate support structures such as thin metal cross supports that can really limit one’s sleeping comfort. However, a contemporary bed with a platform design obviates the need for bulky springs and use slat supports and solid panel foundations that provide superior support. The result is that one can place their mattress directly on the frame without consequence.

Another thing about a platform design bed frame is that it can save you money, simply because the cost of a traditional bed frame far exceeds it. Between the headboard, box spring unit and the foundation, you could easily end up spending nearly half a grand. A platform frame already has a built in foundation that obviates the need for the three components of a traditional bed design. As such, a platform bed frame design is a great investment.

If you think you couldn’t express yourself with a contemporary bed because you consider yourself uncreative, think again. Even the most pedestrian, straight laced person would prefer their bed to match the kinds of beds that they have been accustomed to. If you consider yourself uncreative, think: what makes me feel comfortable? What colors and sensations elicit happy feelings and memories? You should be able to identify these in the real world and make workable design choices. Don’t falter from getting help from design professionals if you need to.

Imagine this awesome bed frame in your home...

It seems like the vast majority of high-end and contemporary furniture beds come with ornate frames that are visually arresting. Contemporary bed framesare available in a whole range of styles and finishes; some are plain and clean-lined, others are truly ornate and glamorous. When purchasing frames, it is important to select the ones that would suit your personality and design preference, and they should also be sturdy for you to enjoy them for long. Below are some guidelines you could use to assist you in selecting the right frames for you beds.

Before we actually go over the guidelines, it would be preferable to identify first what are bed frames. Frames for beds or bedsteads for short are furnishings used to hold mattresses and foundations set off the floor that support beds. They are usually made either from wood or metals and consists of three basic parts: head, foot, and slide rails. Aside from holding mattresses and supporting beds, bedsteads also safeguard beds from bugs and dirt.

If you decide to buy frames for your contemporary furniture beds, always look at the quality of materials used for the frames. Solid wood such as oak, maple, mahogany, and teak as well as metals like brass and wrought iron are ideal materials that could provide your beds with long-lasting foundations. Try not to pick frames made from particle boards because they are cheap, or those frames held together by staples. It would be more preferable to choose frames assembled with screws and dowels.

Once you hit the store for your bed frames, make sure to do in-store inspections. Although it can be an embarrassing experience, it is necessary for you to actually lie-down on the bed while in the store in order to properly evaluate its capability to hold weight. When you carry out your inspection you have to make sure that you are comfortable while lying or sitting on the bed, and listen carefully if the beds are producing squeaky noises when you are getting out as these noises are signs of poor construction. It is also advised to look at the casters on the corners and middle of the frames; good frames should be able to support several contemporary furniture beds at one time.

Select the right size of bed frames. Allow extra two feet of space around your bed sides and as for your floor space, always include in your measurements the headboard. Although mattresses are standard in sizes, be sure to check the measurement of your mattresses to properly befit your prospective frames. While large frames are enticing, they actually aren’t necessary most especially if you wish to save space; bigger frames could definitely make a room look smaller no matter how wide it is.

Today, frames come in a whole range of varieties, so consider the options you have before settling for the one you’ve just stumble upon your local shop. Among the many styles available, the most popular frames are the ones that could be adjusted, which you could use even if you change your mattress. Other noteworthy finishes includes four posters, canopy, day frames, trundles, and low profile bed frame. By the time you are able to consider these tips, you can easily choose the right frames that would complement your beds.

Comfortable contemporary furniture beds are important to maintain healthy and good sleep. However, such comfort would not be achieved if beds lack support that would keep them in their designated positions inside bedrooms. The main purpose of bed frames is to box in the bed to keep it in place. There’s a whole range of bedstead designs available in the market. Some are appropriated for platform beds like low profile bed frame, while others are elevated higher from the ground.
