Many people are rushing to purchase metal platform foundations for their mattresses of late. But have you ever stopped to wonder why that is so? Metal platform foundations like the one we sell – Better Than A Box – offer many surprising benefits. In brief, here are some of those benefits you should know:

Benefits of a Metal Platform Foundation
Extra Storage Space
Not all of us have been privileged to live in spacious apartments or houses with tons of space, yet many experts say one of the factors in quality sleep is a bedroom that is uncluttered and comfy. It helps aid sleep to have a bedroom that is well organized with some perimeter space around the bed. A platform bed can help you to achieve just that. When fully assembled, a metal platform foundation leaves a significant amount of under-frame clearance. and storage space. Such a space becomes useful for keeping storage boxes (can you say seasonal clothing storage?) and storing of items you use less often. You can also purchase under-frame storage drawers separately, providing drawers for clothing, etc., and eliminating the need for chest of drawers and other storage furniture. This can aid in creating more space in smaller rooms.

Requires No Box Spring
The design of the metal platform foundation provides a sufficient level of height that renders the need for a box spring moot on that front. Additionally, on frames like the one we stock, metal cross members are positioned in such a way as to provide maximum support. As a result, the money you save from not purchasing a box spring can offset the cost of your metal platform foundation.

Adequate Support And Solid Mattress Foundation
Most metal platform foundations are designed with metal cross members that are spaced about 3 inches apart, ensuring that your mattress rests on the frame gets adequate support. The closely spaced metal cross members ensure that your mattress won’t sag while ensuring that the mattress receives adequate air circulation, providing an extended lifespan for your mattress.

Offers A Flat Comfortable Sleeping Surface
The design and construction of a metal platform foundation provides an even sleeping surface, due to the metal cross members being carefully leveled relative to the frame and also constructed to support heavy weights without buckling. As a result, even a sleeper prone to tossing and turning will still feel comfortable, providing a restful sleep that can be healthy too.

Simple To Assemble
Although your metal platform foundation will come disassembled, assembling it will not be a difficult task. Furthermore, easy to follow assembly instructions and, in most cases, all the tools you need to properly assemble the foundation together form part of the package.

Stable, Strong, Durable
Your bed is an important asset in your home that you use daily. Since that is the case, and because your bed and foundation are a significant investment, you surely wan them to last many years.

The low profile of the metal platform foundation, along with strong joints at the corners and metal cross members being solidly attached to the main platform frame, make these foundations mechanically solid. As a result, even plus-size couples or those who toss and turn frequently can happily sleep on a metal platform foundation without causing undue pressure on it.

Improves The Aesthetic Look Of A Room
If your bedroom’s appearance is in need of an upgrade a metal platform foundation can help you to achieve that. For instance, since the foundation doesn’t require a bed skirt, they will blend with any kind of room aesthetics (paint colors, fabrics, window coverings, etc.) and assist in giving your room a modern look. They are also designed to allow for the secure and solid attaching of a headboard, if that is your design preference.

Affordable
Most platform beds are constructed with readily available materials and are designed to be strong while using a minimal amount of materials, resulting in a fairly low price point while providing a look that is elegant and hard to resist.

Conclusion
As you read above, metal platform foundations offer numerous benefits so it’s no wonder they are becoming the favorite of many people. With their aesthetic look, extra storage space, and mechanically sound construction included in their benefits, a metal platform foundation, like our Better Than A Box, can be one of the best investments you make in aiding your sleep as well as the look and feel of your bedroom.
