I think that's what I want. I love my current bed but hate the foot board. No matter how pretty I make the bed the foot messes it up. I went to Macy's last night and was looking at their pretty beds. Well i noticed it's just a box with a mattress on top (no boxspring)I came home and tried to find out how to build such a box, and all I can find are these low to the ground beds. Am I looking up the wrong name?
get rid of the foot board.or buy a bed frame that has no foot board.then attach the head board to the new frame.
Not sure if this is a concern or not, but using your mattress without a box spring will void the matress warranty.
Platform beds are basically boxes. Most are low to the ground, but if you are going to make one, there is nothing stopping you from making it higher! Platform beds usually do not have box springs, just the mattress, which is why they are lower. If you use a box spring also, it should be normal height. Look at captain's beds. They are the same design, but usually higher than platform beds.
