Platform Beds from Scott Jordan

Scott Jordan Furniture Solid Wood Platform Beds – built to last in the U.S.A.

At Scott Jordan Furniture Inc., we have been making platform beds in our Brooklyn workshop for over 30 years.  All of our platform bed frames are made from solid hardwood sustainably harvested from local forests.  Our preferred wood species are American Black Cherry (prunus serontina), black walnut (juglans nigra), sugar maple (acer saccharum),  or  red oak.

We are convinced that the best construction method for platform beds is to bolt the side and end rails to the posts.  Crafted in this manner, the platform bed frame can last for the life of the wood; a hundred years or more.

This also means that our mattresses are supported by an array of hardwood slats that provides a flat firm surface for the mattress.  This promotes ventilation and evaporation of moisture while allowing the mattress to perform at its best.  8″ to 14″ mattress heights work just fine with our platform beds.  Need a custom leg height to accommodate extra storage or personal size?  No problem, contact our knowledgeable staff at the number below for custom quotes.

We manufacture our platform beds in all standard sizes;  Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King.  Please visit our showroom at 137 Varick St (corner of Spring and Varick) or call us at 212 620 4682.

How are platform beds made

We make platform bed from solid hardwood in our Brooklyn NY workshop. Please view the video to see how it is done.

Are platform beds good for your back?

The active ingredient in a bed is the mattress and not the platform upon which it rests.

The platform is designed to elevate the mattress above the floor to make entry onto the sleeping surface more comfortable and to move the sleeper away from drafts that typically run across the floor.

Therefore the question should not be "are platform beds good for your back?" but rather "is the mattress that you are considering suitable to providing support, minimizing surface pressure and managing the moisture environment around the person sleeping?".

The real issue is the performance of the mattress - not the platform.

Are platform beds comfortable?

First lets dissect this a bit. No one suggest that you sleep on a platform bed. You will be sleeping on a mattress that rests upon a platform bed.

A platform bed is a bed frame that is designed to support a mattress only - no so-called " box spring" or "foundation" is needed or even possible.

Therefore the question becomes; Do mattresses exist that provide comfortable support and pressure relief on their own, without a foundation or "box spring". The answer is absolutely yes they do.

Indeed the so-called "box spring", more commonly called a "foundation" these days (to avoid running afoul of truth in advertising laws because they generally don't contain any springs) contribute nothing in the way of support or pressure relief.

Visit a mass market mattress merchant and examine such a foundation, ask what's inside, test it for yourself. You'll soon discover that it is but a platform that supports the mattress.

So, in today's world nearly all beds are platform beds; it just a question of whether or not the mattress dealer is asking you to pay hundreds of dollars for a platform (foundation) that does not have any ergonomically functional purpose.

What is a platform bed?

A platform bed is a bed frame that is designed to support a mattress only - and does not accomodate a so-called box spring.

The real question is: do you need a "box spring"?

The short answer is no, you do not need a box spring to provide the support and pressure relief that is supplied by a good quality mattress.

If you listen closely to mattress sales speak today you might notice that the item formerly referred to as a "box spring" is commonly called a "foundation". If you were to peer inside of the typical "foundation" you would probably not find any springs, or anything else for that matter.

The foundation has become simply a box sitting on a steel frame that elevated the mattress to a comfortable height. It adds no ergonomic advantage.

Why then, do mass market mattress merchants persist in requiring that you buy one if you wish to buy one of their mattresses? Because it is a very profitable item for them. Since you can't see inside either the mattress or the foundation they seem somehow equivalent and that is how the merchant prices the combination - so many dollars for each piece and you must buy both or it will "void the warranty".

Do you need to get caught in this game? certainly not.

Are sleeper sofas comfortable to sit on?

Some sleeper sofas are very comfortable to sit on...others not so much. In considering a sofa bed for purchase take a look and feel at the surface under the seat cushion. If you can feel the mechanism it is quite likely that you'll be able to feel this through the seat cushion, especially as the cushion ages and wears. It is unlikely that this will be comfortable in the long term. The American Leather Comfort Sleeper has a very comfortable sit. Under the cushion is a section of the mattress supporting the seat cushion. Additionally in the new Version 8 Comfort Sleeper the mattress section under the seat cushion has been engineered to create a two degree pitch to the seat which greatly improves seating comfort. This feature is only available on the Version 8 and not other versions. Our Signature Series sofa beds employ a mechanism that is very popular in Europe that also offers top grade seating comfort. One cannot detect that these sofas also contain a bed. The seat height is also a bit lower in our Signature Series sofa beds.  

What sizes are available in sofa beds

Our sofa beds comes in: Cot size (30" x 80"), Twin (39" x 80"), Full (54" x 80"), Queen (60" x 80"), King (76" x 80") or double Cot (2 - 30" x 80"). Featuring the patented Tiffany 24/7™ platform sleep system. Room to stretch out with true 80 inches of bedroom-length sleeping surface. Ultimate comfort on  plush, high-density foam, gel or tempurpedic mattress

Can I use my own fabric for a sofa bed ?

Our sofa beds are available in Customer's Own Material; C.O.M. Our sofa beds comes in numerous fabrics and leather. However if you don't find anything to your liking, you can use your own fabric. The fabric has to be approved with the factory. Contact our showroom to discuss.

What mattresses are available in our sofabeds

American Leather Comfort Sleepers are available with your choice of three mattress types:
  1. Premier Mattress - A firm, standard high-density foam mattress with Crypton® fabric mattress ticking.
  2. Gel Mattress - A softer, cooler feeling with even support across pressure points.
  3. Tempurpedic - The only sleeper sofa in the world that has it.
All of the sofa beds that we offer have 79 to 80" mattresses. This is the length of a queen or king size bed. Many other sofa beds on the market have short mattresses; 72 or 75"; we don't offer any of these as it is unlikely that the sleeping experience will be comfortable for many people of even average height sofa bed mattress size chart
