Does anyone know about platform beds?
My husband and I are looking for a platform bedroom set. We're looking online because he is in Iraq right now. We found one we like, and the store is based out of state so I can't just walk-in and ask.

But I e-mailed the furniture store, where I want to purchase the furniture, and asked if there is a specific type of mattress for this type of bed. They look much thicker than regular mattresses (because there is no box-spring). They told me just to get a regular mattress. Is this true?

We had a platform bed for years that came with our house. We just had a regular mattress on it, no need for more. (There's storage under there, too!)

The previous owners bought a kit and built it in the attic bedroom without considering the once they glued it, it could not be removed through the narrow staircase.
Yes it's true. Most likely the reason the mattresses look deeper is that they are. Most mattresses sold are 15 to 20 inches deep.
