There are many different types of platform bed sold by sellers on Etsy. Some of the popular platform bed available on Etsy include: platform bed frame, platform bed frame queen, platform bed with storage, platform bed frames, platform bed with drawers, and even platform bed with headboard. Check them out here.

The main advantage to a platform bed is that it supports your mattress without the need of a boxspring, giving it a sleek, lower profile compared to a traditional bed frame. Platform bed frames are sturdy enough that you can take any mattress size, such as a king, and put it on a king platform bed without worrying about structural support. Even though it isn’t necessary, you can raise your bed’s height by adding a boxspring between the platform and mattress if you want.


Platforms rest low to the ground, so it's common to find platform beds with storage built in, combining under-bed storage with the frame. Integrated rolling drawers are spacious and can sometimes replace the need for dresser units, depending on their size.

While platform beds can support nearly any mattress type, they excel with soft, form-fitting mattresses such as memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses. Platform beds tend to have firmer surfaces that offer high levels of support to prevent common issues like sagging.

Mattresses sometimes slide around on platform beds if the mattress is too big or too small for the frame or the bed frame lacks side panels to keep it in place. If the mattress is too big—for example, if you use a king on top of a queen platform bed—your mattress may droop off the sides, feel unsupported, and shift around. If your mattress is too small, there will be room for your mattress to move around on the frame. If you do experience a lot of movement, first make sure your mattress and frame are the correct sizes: queens on queens and kings on kings.


If your mattress is the correct size and you still wake up to a moving mattress, try adding nonslip pads to help keep it from wandering. These pads provide extra traction between your mattress and the frame to keep your mattress stay put while you sleep.
