Thank you! And...a rookie question about bed frame types.

Hi Eric Bee,

I just want to find a suitable and strong base for the platform and then mattress, regardless of the headboard/footer/sideboards.

A platform bed usually integrates the support structure/bedframe and the slatted platform support surface that the mattress rests on all in one unit.

There are some suggestions for steel bedframes in post #10 here that will support a foundation and a mattress and can also be used to attach a headboard and/or a footboard. Is that what you mean?

Yes. Well…possibly. That first bed I posted. Is that a platform bed or no? Perhaps that’s my confusion.
