Platform Beds
This article by professional woodworker Craig Klucina discusses Japanese platform beds. The author explains how to build a platform bed, and he offers some platform bed plans that illustrate the special details included in his designs. The article includes a sidebar about Japanese futons. In Japan a complete futon bed setup is a little more complicated than most Westerners imagine, and Japanese homeowners normally sleep on tatami mat floors. In the West, however, it is increasingly common to use a platform bed to support either a regular mattress or a special futon mattress.
