How Are They The Same Or Different Than Other Beds
Captain Bed does not need box springs which is the characteristic of platform beds.
In a sense, these beds are also like trundle beds, since some have beds underneath of them.
This type of platform bed has drawers, as well as storage compartments that are built in, underneath the bed.
Bunk beds and trundle beds are often thought of being similar to a twin bed. Some may believe that Captain beds are twins beds. However, they come in various sizes: Twin, Queen, and King size just like platform beds do.
Like traditional beds, Captain beds have a headboard in various styles, along with a foot board that are separate pieces.
Height
The average height of a traditional bed with a mattress and box springs is about 25 inches.
A platform bed, loses about 7 inches in height because it does not have a box spring, making it about 18 inches high.

Fake Wood VS WoodDo you know the differences in solid wood vs fake wood materials used to make furniture, including beds? Fake woods, such as MDF (fiberboard) among other terms which are sometimes construed as real wood.
Most of us cringe when we find out something is made from pressed wood which is when wood particles, shavings, sawdust, are pressed and glued together, before the product is made, that gives the appearance of real wood. You may see other terms used which are pressed board, and laminate. The pressed board is usually covered with laminate to give the piece the look of real wood. Laminate is a man-made product (usually plastic) that is actually ‘printed’ to look like it has woodgrain. It allows manufacturers to create furniture, cabinets, and flooring for less money. You cannot stain laminate. It’s not wood! Another name that may be familiar is veneer. Veneer is real wood. However, it has the thickness of a piece of heavy paper. There are also vinyl laminates which have photos of various woods printed on them to give the illusion of real wood. MDF: Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a high grade, composite material that performs better than solid wood in many areas. Made from recycled wood fibers and resin, MDFis machine dried and pressed to produce dense, stable sheets. MDF is more stable than solid wood and stands up better to changes in heat and humidity. Is it toxic material? MDF is manufactured using formaldehyde. In reality, MDF is nothing but a higher grade of pressed board. |
