Platform beds have a solid or slatted base built into the frame, which means no box spring is required -- the mattress sits directly on the platform. They sit lower to the floor than traditional bed frames on legs, which can look clean and modern or create a getting-in-and-out issue depending on your preference. Read our guide to platform beds and bed types for how platform, panel, and storage beds compare and what foundation each one requires.

A platform bed uses a solid or slatted platform base instead of a box spring. The frame is lower to the ground (typically 8 to 14 inches of total height vs 24 to 30 inches for a traditional frame plus box spring), with a cleaner, more contemporary profile.

We carry platform beds in upholstered, wood, and metal frames in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizes. Many include built-in under-bed storage drawers, which eliminates the need for a separate dresser in smaller bedrooms.

Platform Beds vs Traditional Frames

  • No box spring needed: Platform beds require only a mattress. You save the cost of a box spring and the extra height it adds
  • Mattress compatibility: Memory foam and hybrid mattresses work well on platform bases. Traditional innerspring mattresses technically work, but the manufacturer's warranty on some innersprings requires a box spring -- check before purchasing
  • Lower profile: Platform beds sit closer to the floor. This reads as contemporary and spacious in larger rooms but can feel too low in smaller rooms. If you're 5'10" or taller, getting in and out of a very low platform bed may feel uncomfortable
  • Slat spacing: If you choose a platform with wooden slats, look for slats spaced no more than 2.75 inches apart to support foam mattresses evenly without sagging
