Originally, I just wanted a Queen size Headboard without the platform, but it's only available as a platform bed. The platform bed is designed to hold a box spring and upper mattress. If you own a Select Comfort air mattress, it will also work. [...] I began experimenting on my own. This bed is beautiful without a dust ruffle. But if you want to use a dust ruffle, you can; however, you have to remove the 3 wooden slats [...]and no it will not hamper the structural integreity of the bed). I then lifted and set my old metal bedframe on the floor (inside the inner panels of the platform bed). I then set my boxsprings in place, then my dust ruffle (and it's tight,you will have about 1/4" on all 4 sides to pull the dust ruffle down to the floor, and the side bed panels will still show) and then my mattress. This bed really does look fabulous. The Headboard has nice generous proportions, and heigth. It's difficult to tell from the web picture, but the curved ends of this headboard are just way to cool."..." Read more
