The 10 best cheap queen platform beds
So… now that the French antique bed is moved to our daughter’s room, my son’s room isn’t looking so nice. We are on the hunt for a cheap queen platform bed because we don’t like how high the bed is and how bulky the mattress and box spring look. A platform bed without the necessity for a boxspring is the look we wanted.
We’d also like to have a bed that he will still love for years to come, even when he moves out one day. I think a platform bed is a much better fit for his room.
Here is a reminder of what his room used to look like with the antique bed and you can see the reveal blog post and all the sources HERE. I loved it so much in here but hey, he outgrew it. There’s nothing I can do about it.
And here is the current disheveled version. I can’t stand looking at his room this way. Something needs to be done about this situation 😉
The 10 best cheap queen platform beds
So let me show you which cheap queen-size platform bed frames I found.
- Curved spindle metal platform bed
- Modern boho solid wood platform bed
- Wooden retro mid-century style platform bed
- Novogratz Bushwick metal bed
- Metal and wood modern industrial storage platform bed
- Metal and bamboo platform bed
- Mid-century modern walnut wood platform bed
- Modern, minimalist, low-profile metal platform bed
- Masculine metal and wood platform bed
- Rustic solid wood platform bed
Now I’m still trying to decide if we care that the headboards will hide some of that window or not. some of them might be better options for that corner than others.
My son’s favorites so far are 5 and 6 which I love too but I also love all the other ones. Which one is your favorite?
We’ll let these options marinate for a little in my brain and hopefully make a decision soon.

Tschüß,
I like a headboard. 6 or 7 are my favorites.
I do love the look of a headboard too and I’m pretty sure I want wood on the bed somewhere too.
6,8
I think 6 is a pretty strong contender.
#1 or #4 because the bedside table and chair have black metal legs. (I also like a headboard for reading in bed instead of leaning up against the wall.)
I most like the #9, particularly with the footboard that is available. It picks up the other black (chair/table) used in the room. Also provides for underbed storage if the need arises. The #6 is too low for me and I would never do a bed without a headboard (#5) especially since it would overhang the window. Whatever the choice, you’ll make it great!
I had never thought that I’d consider a bed without a headboard but in this case, I do.
Can’t you center the b ead in front of the window..despite blocking it?.
I like #6 and #8
I do like a headboard because it looks like the room is finished…
You will make it look great whatever you and your son choose.
I think #6 would be the most comfortable for him. A headboard to lean on was always preferred by my boys.
Yes that’s true
I like #7 headboard:)
I love it too
Great finds! I like #2 and #6 best.
So far almost everyone liked 6 🙂
i love them all but for noa’s room, i love 5- sawyer hates having a headboard so his is a platform bed with no headboard… would work for the window, too!
