platform bed

South Shore Full Platform BedIt’s been more than 22 months since hubby bought a queen platform bed for his brother who’s 5 feet 8 inches tall and more than 90 kg or 198 pounds. Yup, an overweight fellow!

How’s the 82″ x 62″ x 10″ sleek contemporary bed doing now? Phew, thank God that it is still in good condition!

Seeing that the South Shore Queen Platform Bed is still intact after almost two years, my neighbor is thinking of getting her fat brother this same platform bed.

Upon checking for my neighbor, the same full platform bed is still available on the market. It’s still the most affordable platform bed out there, at $153.98, plus free shipping.

To prepare my neighbor for the worst in case she doesn’t get what she expects, I have told her that:

i) For under $160.00, she will get what she pays for. It’s particle board, so do not expect wood!

ii) The package weights more than 100 lbs when it arrives. Wuahaha, I think she fears not because it’s her hubby and his fat brother who will carry the box into the house! ^.^

Even if there is no one to help her carry the heavy package into the house, well, think out of the box. She can open the box, slide out pieces of it and carry them two boards at a time!

iii) She doesn’t have to worry much about the assembly. The guys in her house will surely take care of it.

Question: What kind of mattresses are good for platform beds?

I’m moving tomorrow and am shopping for new bedroom furniture. I’m stuck on what kind of mattress to buy for my platform bed.

What kind of mattress is good for a platform bed? Can I use a temper-pedic or pillow top mattress without boxsprings on it?
