A twin platform bed can be the optimal pick for a child’s bed since it saves money, space and can prevent accidents.
You can save a lot of money with these beds. They are made with an integrated foundation and either a slat support system or a solid panel foundation. This provides so much support that a box spring isn’t necessary. Therefore, you save a minimum of $250, which is what a box spring usually costs.
A standard bed’s price is dependent on various factors. They are comprised of the box spring and mattress, headboard, bed frame, and a rail system which rests on the floor. A platform twin bed only requires the mattress and frame; a box spring, rail system and headboard aren’t necessary. Thus, by buying a platform bed, you don’t have to spend money on things you don’t need.
Simultaneously, you are still getting style and comfort. A platform bed is just as comfortable as standard beds and comes with storage room as well. Since it doesn’t have a box spring, you can store things under the bed in a built-in unit, with drawers, or put items in storage containers. For kids, you can put their toys or books under the bed.
Beyond that, the majority of twin platform beds are low to the ground, which is great for small children. Kids can get in and out of bed without much difficulty. Beds low to the ground often have footboards and headboards, if at all. A few have footboards which are below a mattress, which prevents injury to kids. Children won’t run into sharp footboards if one isn’t there at all.
Have your child play a role in making the decision to buy a bed. Therefore, he’ll desire to sleep in his own bed since he picked it out instead of yours.
