Vermont Furniture Designs Heartwood Shaker Platform Bed

No, this bed is designed as a true platform frame with a sturdy slat system and a center support beam. You can place your mattress directly on the slats, which eliminates the need for a box spring or foundation.

The under-bed clearance is 12.5 inches. This provides ample space to slide low-profile storage bins or organizers underneath while maintaining the bed's open, airy aesthetic.

The bed requires assembly, but it is straightforward. Because it utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery, the components are designed to fit together precisely and securely without complex tools.

The eco-friendly oil and wax finish is designed to be low-maintenance and easy to refresh. You can simply wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning and apply a high-quality furniture wax occasionally to maintain the wood's luster and protection.

Because the mattress sits directly on the platform, your pillows may shift if the bed is not pushed against a wall. If you prefer a floating look in the center of a room, you might consider adding a wall-mounted headboard or bolster pillows to keep your bedding in place.
