Finding a Queen Platform Bed Frame

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency has received 102 reports of bed entrapment involving hospital beds since 1990, 68 of which have resulted to unfortunate deaths. Even though ordinary beds and hospital beds have a few differences in terms of their function and features, this study shows that sleeping in the wrong bed can lead to more than just a back ache. This is why it is important for people to know how to find a safe and practical queen platform bed frame. Here are some of the ways on how to find the right bed frame.


Mattress size

Bed entrapment can be caused by using a bed frame that is too big for the mattress that you have. When this happens, the ridges of the frame are exposed, making it easier for the person sleeping on top of it to get caught in these ridges. This is especially hazardous for people who have movement-related disabilities or medical condition since it is harder for them to move their body parts in order to avoid entrapment.


Mattress type

It is wise to buy the bed frame from the same manufacturer where you purchased your mattress. This ensures that the mattress and the frame are compatible with each other, lessening the likelihood of bed entrapment and other bed-related injuries. If you have not bought a mattress yet, the first thing that you need to do is to find a manufacturer that sells both bed frames and bed mattresses.


 Online reviews

Scanning through online reviews is a great way to find the best bed frame for you as they can help paint a clear picture of how useful or efficient a bed frame can be through their first hand experience. However, you should stay away from reviews that do not mention anything specific about the product. You should make sure that the review that you are going to read contains vital information about the different features of the product.
 


Check the specifications

Even though queen sized bed frames generally have the same dimension, it does not hurt to check the specifications of the bed frame that you are planning to buy to ensure that it is of the right size both for your mattress and your room. You should also check the materials where the frame is made from to make sure that it is durable, safe and is compatible to your mattress.
