When it’s time to get a new bed, you may want to consider a platform bed. These beds are designed to provide flat surfaces for mattresses without the need for a box spring.

• Storage: Certain styles of beds come with compartments underneath the slats. These drawers can be used to save space in the bedroom. Use the storage space for clothing, extra pillows, and extra blankets.
