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!

We got ours at Porter Square Furniture or something. It's across the street from Shaw's on Elm St. It's a real platform bed made of real (unfinished) wood. It's comfortable and sturdy and easy to put together. We didn't pay much (under $90) and Eddie, the guy who owns it is local and a good guy.


It's an option closer than IKEA.

I second this option. I like our unfinished slat bed a lot, and, as a pile of wood, it fits up the stairs nicely and lots of crap fits underneath.
