Generally speaking, the most popular designs make use of solid wood frames, but Asian designs are steadily increasing in particular especially Asian platform beds.

This is because traditional bed frames are costly affairs that involve paying for the box spring, the foundation and the headboard, while a platform frame makes use of a foundation that obviates the need for these individual components. As such, a platform design can be a great investment.
