I'm in the market for a new bed frame, but am having far more trouble finding a dope one than I thought I would.

I'm debating whether or not to go with a platform bed or something a bit more traditional. I have an excellent mattress, but I've lied down on several at stores and they seem a bit stiff without the box spring. Could be that the mattress wasn't high-end, but I'm a big fan of having an incredibly comfortable bed.

Anyone know of a store/website that has IKEA-style beds that are higher quality? I can spend whatever is necessary, but for some reason I am hesitant to go out and blow 2K on a frame alone, especially when it's barely above IKEA quality, but has the look and is from a higher-end store.

Any ideas on this? What's everyone else rockin' right now?

Really need to get my mattress off the floor soon...

Thanks.

So, platform bed is the way to go? How does it compare to a traditional bed (frame, box spring, mattress)?

Platform has horizontal slates that hold the bed. Frame is generally a container shape that holds the boxspring which in turn holds the mattress.

I am partial to a design that has drawers built into the platform i.e. this

In my mind, yes. I like sleek and simple furniture, personal preference.

Just need the platform bed and the mattress. Memory foam king size from Costco $700. Total package less than 1k for a bomb set up
