Is the platform bed the go-to option for the creative class? Ask any hipster gent which bed he prefers, and you can bet the platform has a spot on his list. For our purposes, we’re defining the platform frame strictly as without a headboard or footboard and just a beat or two off the ground. Here are our favorites that fit the definition, all rendered in wood.
