Bamboo Platform Bed Biography.
The actual date for the invention of the first platform bed is impossible to pinpoint due to the basic fact that the modern box-spring was not invented until the mid 1860s.[1] Since the basic definition of a platform bed is "a bed which uses only a mattress", all incarnations of the bed up to that point would necessarily functionally be considered platform beds. While we generally think of the modern platform bed as having a solid surface for sleeping; rope, leather and wooden or bone slat bases were all used as supports for early mattresses.
Platform bed development was closely intertwined with the evolution of the modern bed. Earliest man most probably slept on the ground. It would have been cold, hard and offered no protection from crawling insects or small animals. Readily available piles of leaves and branches could be covered with animal pelts which provided superior warmth and comfort to sleeping on the ground probably inspiring the first thoughts of a raised dedicated sleeping space. The basic platform bed concept was born from this and has developed ever since in numerous styles and materials but always on the basic principle of raising one's sleeping surface off the ground developed by early man.
