King, queen or double: what size platform bed is right for you? Choosing the size of a platform bed may seem like a no-brainer: the maximum amount of bed offers the maximum amount of comfort. Doesn’t it? Not necessarily. There are three important factors to consider when selecting a bed size: room dimensions, room appearance and sleeping habits.

Taking the dimensions of your room and deciding where in the room the platform bed will be placed is a wise first step. Perhaps you have a large room, but unusual angles, a special feature like a fireplace, or built-in cabinets, allow you to place the bed in only one area. Measure carefully and think about placement before you buy. *Tip: using masking or painter’s tape, plot out the dimensions of the bed size you’re considering on the floor. Walk around it, noting traffic patterns. Read More: https://peakd.com/@bestplatformbed Room Appearance Certain styles of the room seem to call for different types of beds. Romantic, Victorian, or country garden rooms call for queen platform beds, as opposed to something larger. On the other hand, a modern room often looks great with a large, platform bed frame on center stage. Think carefully about the other furnishings already in place (unless you plan to completely re-do the room) and select a platform bed that not only fits the existing space but also highlights the décor and atmosphere. Sleeping Habits Sleeping habits and the people who inhabit a bed, morph over time. A young family who believes in “the family bed,” will be drawn to a king platform bed, whereas an older person, downsizing to move into retirement housing, may wish to also downsize their bed size as well. There are other factors to consider as well: if a couple sharing a bed has extremely different sleeping styles or works different shifts, a larger bed may allow for a better night’s sleep. A double platform bed is a great choice for couples in colder climates as it holds in heat produced and makes for a more comfortable night’s sleep.
