Platform framing is a method of construction used primarily in small structure applications, such as in the construction of houses or small apartment complexes and buildings. The name platform framing is derived from the manner in which the construction is undertaken. The process used is to build upward from the foundation, or platform.
Posted on July 29, 2010 by Kim. A platform bed is a bed frame, often with head and foot board, with many wood slats running from side to side, which are preferably no more than 3 apart in order to provide proper support for your mattress. A traditional bed can also have wood slats, but typically has only 1-3 to help support a foundation or box spring. The difference between a traditional bed and a platform bed, is that you can place a mattress directly on a platform bed without a box spring or foundation. With a traditional bed, you would place a box spring or foundation upon the bed frame and then your mattress would be placed on top.
