How to Decide Between a Low Platform and a High Bed From Get Laid Beds

By Jonathan 31 August 2025

When choosing a new bed, one of the key design choices is whether to go for a low platform bed or a higher traditional frame. Both options offer distinct advantages in terms of style, practicality, and comfort.

Bedroom Style & Aesthetic

The height of your bed plays a surprisingly big role in shaping the look and feel of your bedroom. A low platform bed creates a sleek, modern style that makes the room feel more open and spacious, while a higher frame brings a sense of presence and traditional character. Choosing between the two often comes down to the atmosphere you want to create, whether that’s light and minimal or bold and statement-making.

Practicality & Storage

Low Beds

If you’re short on space, especially in terms of roof height, a low platform bed is ideal for you. This wouldn’t contain any storage options; however, their lower height makes them excellent for loft or attic conversions

Standard Height Beds

With extra clearance beneath the frame, our standard height beds are perfect for anyone who needs underbed storage. Our modern underbed storage boxes integrate seamlessly with our collection of storage platform beds, providing a discreet and practical way to keep loose items neatly tucked away.

Comfort & Accessibility

The great thing about having platform beds available in a range of heights is that they can adapt to different comfort and accessibility needs. This versatility means you can choose a bed that not only matches your aesthetic preferences but also meets your practical needs.

Low Beds

Our range of platform beds is ideal for younger people, as their low height makes them easy to get in and out of. They’re also a safer option for children, with the shorter distance from the floor reducing the risk of injury in the event of a fall.

Standard Height Beds

Easier for most people to get in and out of, as you don’t have to crouch down as much. This can be especially helpful for older adults or those with mobility issues.

Whatever your requirements, there’s a height option designed to make everyday use more comfortable.
