I was given the chance to buy a very nice platform bed for $75 that’s already in the apartment I’m moving into. They just want it gone since it’s so heavy to move.
Further examination revealed that it has a solid foundation. I read here that this is bad as it can/will cause mold problems. The Savvy Rest bed rug is supposed to alleviate this issue but its material, coir, is listed as an allergen on Wikipedia. My girlfriend’s allergic to many things and even if I drilled holes in the foundation it would still not circulate out from underneath the bed.
It’s unfortunate that I have to pass this up. But I’m grateful that you mentioned this issue Phoenix- I would have ended up with a brand new ruined mattress. Thanks again for the wealth of information you provide here!
