Because of limited space in our Greenwich Village apartment my husband and I opted for a platform bed which also gave us much-needed drawer space. We got a queen size double height (four deep drawers on each side, two over two, and a large storage space also on each side). We used it together for 40 years and I'm still using it. Every ten years or so we'd get a replacement mattress. I can honestly say I love my bed. We both loved it and never considered getting anything else even when we bought our current apartment which has very large rooms. Google "mattress for platform bed" (I just did) and there's tons of info to check out. Good luck with your search. My vote - go for it!
