What is the difference between a platform bed and a standard bed frame?

A platform bed has a built-in slat or panel base that supports the mattress directly, so most models need no box spring, while a standard frame usually requires one. Modway's platform beds arrive with the headboard, rails, and slats as one coordinated piece. Low-profile designs suit modern rooms, and upholstered versions add a soft surround. For the headboard on its own, see Modway headboards.

What sizes and heights do Modway platform beds come in?

Sizes span twin, full, queen, king, and California king, with frame heights from low platforms around 8 inches to taller upholstered beds. Under-bed clearance varies by model, with many offering room for storage bins. Measuring ceiling height and mattress thickness together helps you picture the finished bed height before ordering.

Do Modway platform beds need a box spring?

Most Modway platform beds have a slat system that supports the mattress on its own, so a box spring is not required; a bunkie board can be added if a mattress calls for a firmer base. Upholstered and wood models both follow this build. The full brand range sits in the Modway collection.
