Need reco for wood platform beds
I am in the market for a queen-size platform bed. Since I have the
headboard of my existing furniture, I don't really need one with the platform. Although I may just get rid of my old headboard for a good platform. Any recommendations on places to get this from? and places to avoid? I am seeing all kinds of quality - from Walmart to to Ikea to high-end ($2000) for a wood one. Thanks. -Mark Sabatini |

Need reco for wood platform beds
HI Mark,
I actually built a platform to fit my metal frame to support the king-sized tempur pedic mattress that was deliveredjust yesterday. I used 1x6 poderosa pine and plywood to make two box platforms each 38"x80". I then covered them with quilters batting (about 1/4" thick) followed by a fabric that matches the room. I also used pipe insulation, cut in half lengthwise to cover all hard/sharp edges before the batting went on. I think the total project cost me about $135.00 vs. the $400.00(+S&H) that Tempur pedic wanted for the same thing. If you're interested in making it yourself as I did, I would be glad to share the exact dimensions I used - which Home Depot personel made all cuts for me! I have seen some really nice platform beds online and will try to find the web addresses for you if you prefer to buy. Doreen |
