Do platform type bed frames require box spring sets or justa decent matress?
Question:
Answers:
I agree, platform beds only require a mattress. With the quality of mattresses available, you can get something very comfortable. Simplicity is the key. Just add a great duvet with cover and you will sleep like a baby.
A good Mattress is fine. I find it more comfortable that way
A mattress lays completely flat on a platform bed and doesn't need a box spring. Providing you purchase a quality mattress.
Some people think that a box spring is completely unnecessary and is sold to just hold the mattress on an open bed frame. So you don't need a box spring.
Actually most platform bed frames will work both ways, although depending on the depth of them you may only be able to use the mattress. It really helps to firm up a "too soft" mattress to kill the box springs though.
If you have a true platform bed, you won't need a box spring because it usually comes with Euro slats.

But.. if your bed is low profile, you will need a box spring. The box spring provides support for your mattress.
