Basic Platform Beds
Boxsprings? By design platform beds do not need boxsprings. They eliminate boxsprings.
What are boxsprings? Boxsprings are simply cloth-wrapped pine-and-cardboard boxes made to raise innersprings to sleeping height. Boxsprings are misnamed: they normally contain no springs inside them. They are bulky and their size is a problem, especially in older towns like Boston and Cambridge. They don't fit up many staircases, waste valuable under-bed storage space and they sag! We began making the Floating Platform Bed 34 years ago, intentionally to escape boxsprings and their problems.
After 34 years of woodworking, Bedworks knows platform beds. John Buster started Bedworks by making wonderfully convenient, sturdy and affordable modular platform beds. We make our Floating Platform Bed with the same care and sturdiness John built into every one of his beds back in 1976. Today we offer a range of beds, but we always insist they meet the quality standards our customers have come to expect. It's our craftsman's eye that helps us choose the best value for your budget.
