The Best Platform Beds

Ranked #3,372 in Home & Garden, #50,041 overall

When it comes to simple and elegant beds, you don't get any better than platform beds!

Seriously, platform beds rock! If you've read my other lenses about beds, you know I already love canopy beds and round beds and the Squaring bed too!  I'm also more than a bit nuts over all the beautiful platform beds you can find on the internet.

I really don't know what I did before the internet, online shopping and Google!  While I've not yet gotten into online grocery shopping, I have found myself shopping online for pretty much everything else. You know? Like the platform bed!

The Big Sleep by Roberto Lazzeroni for IPE Cavalli is Italian-designed and made ensuring a timeless design that's sure to be an investment piece.  This beautiful platform bed was spotted at Leigh Harmer for £4,544.00.

Let me show you some of the top-notch platform beds there are out there! You're getting sleepy ... When it comes to simple and elegant beds, you don't get any better than platform beds!
