I’ve always fancied the idea of making a platform style bed. These contemporary, but boxy units are fashionable in forward-thinking designs. Problem is, once you build (or buy) the 5-sided platform, the only thing you can store inside it-unless it has drawers, which they don’t all have and don’t always look good-is air. Enter Woodworker’s Supply platform bed lifts. These heavy duty, gas-filled spring mechanism attach to the bottom of the mattress platform and to the inside of the platform, enabling you to lift the mattress and platform kind of like opening the hood of a car. Now you have the super-cool bed and storage too!
