In homes where space is a premium commodity, one of the great things about a low profile bed frame is that they place the sleeping surface into an elevated position which frees up enough space for storage underneath.

Necessary to most beds is a bulky box spring for the purposes of supporting the mattress. However, such beds tend to make use of inadequate support structures such as thin metal cross supports that can really limit one’s sleeping comfort.

On the other hand, a low profile bed with a platform design obviates the need for bulky springs and use slat supports and solid panel foundations that provide superior support. The result is that one can place their mattress directly on the frame without consequence.

Another thing about a platform design bed frame is that it can save you money, simply because the cost of a traditional bed frame far exceeds it. Between the headboard, box spring unit and the foundation, you could easily end up spending nearly half a grand.

A low profile bed frame already has a built in foundation that obviates the need for the three components of a traditional bed design. As such, a platform design is a great investment.

This article examines interest in contemporary bed designs among those looking for a new bed frame and those seeking to overhaul the look of their sleeping quarters.

For those interested in greater sleeping comfort, freeing up valuable space and saving money, low profile beds are recommended and particularly the massively popular designs of Asian platform beds that feature appealing elegance.
