Why Build a Platform Bed
Need more reasons to ask your designer to custom-build a platform bed for your room? Here are six
2. A platform bed is child-friendly
Children are prone to rolling off their beds, so many parents eschew a traditional bed frame for a mattress placed on the floor, or in this case, the platform.

3. It automatically delineates zones
Whether you’re separating the study from the sleep space, or some other function, a platform is a physical boundary signifying a change in function or use of the space. In this room, a study desk is incorporated in the platform’s design, and the step-and-a-half up to the beds signals the change of zones in the room.

5. A platform bed makes a space cosier and more intimate
A platform automatically decreases the distance between the top of the bed and the ceiling. This gives you the feeling of a lower ceiling, which exudes a cosier, more intimate ambience.
