Siblings Drew and Jonathan Scott, better known as HGTV’s Property Brothers, are unrivaled in the world of rebuilding and renovating. Over their decade-long TV career, they have transformed hundreds of fixer-uppers into dream homes – often featuring modern kitchens and therapeutic bedrooms that help the homeowner sleep in style.
The brothers know all too well that the primary purpose of a bedroom is to help the homeowner sleep better – therefore, choosing the best mattress for you is vital. However, the process doesn't end there. In their blog, Drew and Jonathan shares ways to make your master bedroom an oasis – to create a sleep-inducing space that is restful but simultaneously good-looking. One of the most effective ways to do so? Invest in a low-platform bed.
'Don’t be afraid to go modern with a low-platform bed,' they say. The brothers recommend choosing a frame with a 'luxuriously padded headboard that makes it easy to read and relax while sitting up.'
This low-platform bed, designed by the brothers (below), is the best place to start (and it's on sale on Wayfair right now). Drew and Jonathan explain that a sturdy frame such as this will tie the rest of your bedroom ideas together – creating a space that is stylish in the daytime – and restorative in the nighttime.
'Plus, if you’d rather prop yourself up, then an adjustable bed frame is the way to go,' the siblings add.
Low-platform beds already have approval from design professionals, but what does science say? Nicole Eichelberger, a BSM-certified sleep expert and consultant at Mattressive, explains that the benefits of low-platform beds extend beyond their contemporary aesthetic. So, If you're looking for ways to improve sleep, this sturdy bed type could be the solution.
'Many platform beds have slats or a solid surface that provides proper support for your mattress, eliminating the need for a box spring,' she says. And if you're working with a small bedroom, you can enjoy its space-saving qualities, too.
'Because platform beds do not require a separate box spring, they take up less space, making them a good option for smaller rooms or apartments,' she says. 'Some platform beds have built-in storage, such as drawers or compartments, which can [also] be useful for saving space and keeping your bedroom organized.'
With approval from the Property Brothers and a certified sleep expert, we predict a low-platform bed come-back this 2023.
