Metal or Wood: Which is Platform Bed Right for Me?

The material of your platform bed factor significantly into its overall cost. A cheap platform bed, for example, can usually consist of compressed cardboard with a veneer finish. Alternatively, they can be made of particle boards, which are known not to last very well in countries with humid and fluctuating temperatures due to their sensitivity to moisture.

 So not only are these materials susceptible to the elements, but they also ensure your bed falls apart faster due to weak points around the screws and structure points for the framework, due to the cheapness of the material.

 Choose wisely when it comes to the material of your platform bed and invest accordingly. Solid frames offer the best support and durability over a lifetime, but they are more expensive. Coated wood and metal offer a scratch-resistant material that will still look good a few years after your purchase, making it the ideal option and in my opinion the best material for your platform bed.
