Bedding Help

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

So I got a really nice Queen bed from some moving friends, my bed was 10 years old. I ran into the standard somerville problem of the box spring not fitting. Anyone have a recommendation of platform bed vs. box spring? Additionally, split box springs seem to be very expensive...100 a piece plus delivery, any suggestions of a cheaper place? Any suggestions on where to get a fairly cheap platform bed? Ikea is my only thought right now. I need to figure out if platform or split box spring is the better use of my money. Help!
