The platform bed is actually nothing new in the industry. In fact, these beds have been around since 1973 when John Lorenc designed one of these beds and took it to Lee Strazz who then started the craze of these beds. In the most standard sense, these are beds that are low to the floor, whose infrastructure consists of a raised, depressed, hard, crosswise surface meant to sustain just a mattress. A lot of people like these beds because they are very simple yet very elegant, they are also very cost efficient as well especially when you find platform beds on sale!
And since you won't need a box spring, you can start concentrating right away on what kind of a mattresss you want to start looking at. One option that a lot of people like is the foam or memory foam mattress option. This is one of the newer choices when it comes to support mattresses, but it is also one of the better ones. Not only will it support your entire body from your feet on up to your head and neck, but it also helps with the aches and pains that you already have by pushing pressure points on the body which then release endorphins into the body. It's almost like having your own personal masseuse!
These mattresses also are a great option for people with asthmatic symptoms because of allergies because these beds are 100% hypoallergenic!
