Construction
From the quality of materials to the choice of colour, it’s important to know how a new bed frame is made. Here are the construction details of the Silk & Snow Platform Bed.
Upholstered Side Rails
The classic style of the Silk & Snow Platform Bed begins with fully upholstered side rails. The woven polyester fabric comes in your choice of two colours: Cloud and Stone. The upholstered side rails give the bed a sleek, timeless look.
Wood Frame with Metal Beams
Beneath the layer of upholstery is the frame itself, made of quality materials. The engineered wood frame is reinforced with powder coated iron beams. Silk & Snow has created a sturdy Platform bed that is built to last.
Solid Poplar Slats
The Silk & Snow Platform Bed has strong, solid poplar slats that support the mattress. The slats are 2” wide and spaced 3” apart. The width and spacing of the slats help prevent the mattress and bed frame from drooping and sagging. The slats themselves are held in place with Velcro backing to prevent them from falling through the frame.
Your Choice of Sizes
Your new platform bed must be the right size for your bedroom and for your sleep preferences. Before you buy a bed frame, carefully measure your bedroom. Your new bed should leave room from for additional furniture and for comfortably walking around the bed. The Silk & Snow Platform Bed is available in the following sizes:
- Twin: 42.5″(W) x 80″(L)
- Full: 58″(W) x 80″(L)
- Queen: 64.5″(W) x 85″(L)
- King: 80″(W) x 85″(L)
Height and Clearance
The Silk & Snow Platform Bed is 13” high and does not require a box spring. Silk & Snow recommends pairing it with a mattress that is 10” to 14” thick. The solid wood legs give the platform a 6” clearance.
Weight Capacity
The weight capacity for a twin-size Silk & Snow Platform Bed is 500 pounds. The full, Queen, and king size models will hold up to 1100 pounds.
Bed in a Box
Silk & Snow ships their Platform Bed in a box to your door. Box dimensions range from 89″ x 9″ x 11″ for a twin size to 92″ x 11″ x 11″ for a king size. The boxes can be quite heavy, so you may want to have someone help you carry it into the house and to the bedroom.
