newSAHM 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 We were at IFC two weeks ago n saw a platform bed frame design that we like....Erm it is really low with no legs and on one side of the bed it has a panel and the headrest another panel. It seems really cozy n comfortable as it looks like we can lean against the panel and chill...As our 10 mth old is currently sleeping with us on our "high" bed, hence for our new house we plan to get a low platform like the above mentioned. It is fabric wrapped. The following are my concerns: 1. Is fabric wrapped bed frame very hard to clean or maintain? Does it get dusty very easily?? BUT if wrap with PVC will it peel very fast? 2. If I were to become pregnant with my second child will it be difficult for me to get in and out of bed? (Hopefully someone can share their experience or their wife's experience.) 3. Can anyone share on what kind of bedframes did u get if your child is co sleeping with u? 4. Where is a good place to shop for platform bedframes? Is it better to buy or custom make? Thanx so much in advance for your replies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banned 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 We are also getting a platform bed for our new house as my gf really like it.. But for me, I really feel its not very good for the knees and especially so for a pregnant woman.. You can try sitting down and getting up the bed many times and u will feel the strain as it really need more energry get in/out of the bed.. that was my primary concern but i cant convince her.. so..

Hi Banned, Thanx for replying.... Ya I see your point....Sigh but I guess we have to compromise our comfort for my baby's safety....Maybe when she is older not sleeping with us then change bedframe..... Heehee although can't convince your gf...in a way also shows you dote on her let her choose what she likes.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heehee actually it is a really nice design.....The one we saw it slightly different from yours....Instead of a "step", it has a storage compartment so it is flat..... Yup get first then maybe change when you two are ready to have kids but must make sure they dont co sleep with you otherwise you will need to low bed.... Wow Hommage's pricing is really a steal...We saw at Englander mattress shop and the Montella at IFC both quoted us $1699!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx so much in advance for your replies! Hi, I also have a 18 month baby, so because of him, I went around the whole island to search for a good and cheap platform bed. The bed has to be low enough so with the mattress the height will still be low. I found the right bed at Xclusive at Kallang. In fact that shop has the most platform bed among all that I visited. Because my budget is quite tight and I told the saleman (Mr Quinn) honestly my budget, he reduced the price to suit my budget which was very kind of him. I brought my bb along and all the other staff were very nice and helped me looked after my bb. :-) I then went on to buy a 7 inch full latex mattress from Omazz at Park Mall, because I am allergic to dust mites and my bb has had runny nose often. So suspected that he inherited the allergy from me. :-( As for your question about pregnancy. Well, it does not really matter so much as to the height of the bed as much as whether you have something to grab to help yourself up from bed. When I was pregnant I slept on a scan teak bed which is already very high + my mattress was like 12 inches!! and I had a **** of a time trying to get out of bed. By right if the height of bed is high then easier to get out but my experience was not like that at all. I suppose if the bed is low enough, you could roll down and then kneel on the floor and then get up that way which is easier for heavily pregnant woman. The bed I bought is wrapped in fabic and I suppose it is more lasting than PU ba.. There are few colors to choose from and the bed is made in Malaysia with shorter leadtime. Frankly speaking, I won't buy anything that is made in China and then got to ship over here. There are a lot of complains on other posts. Hope this bit helps your bed buying. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
