Modern Bedroom Suites

by Eric on December 31, 2008

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with traditional bedroom suites. The dresser, chest of drawers, headboard, and end table may be exactly what you want. Likewise, the traditional bedroom suite involves a raised bed frame, headboard, footboard, box springs, and mattress. However, today’s modern bedroom suite looks a little different.

The first thing you’ll immediately notice about modern bedroom suites is that there’s no real bed frame or footboard. Instead, the mattress or the mattress and box springs are sit almost on the floor—there’s usually a fairly low raised platform that the sleeping area fits on. This means your modern bed is going to be much lower than what you might be used to.

Because these beds are much lower to the ground, you’ll almost have to get a bedside table designed to go with your modern bedroom suite. Nearly every modern bed stand, however, has either two matching bedside tables or has two bedside tables actually attached to the bed frame. This means you may not even have to buy new bedside tables. However, these modern platform beds really look best positioned in the middle of the room instead up in a corner against two walls.

Another really nice feature that most modern bedroom suites come with is a padded headboard. In fact, the headboard portion of modern bedroom suites almost looks like the back of a sofa. These types of headboards are great for people who love to read in bed or like to use their laptops late at night or early in the morning.
