How to pick Mattresses, Bed Frames & Platform Beds

Personal Shopper 

 

 Pick headboards first so you know the sizes necessary 

 Some headboards come with side rails or a metal bedframe, so they don't need a platform or additional metal frame 

 

 Mattresses 

 

 Select Mattresses - General or Mattresses - Grant as the class

 

 Queen – for a couple 

 Full – adult(s) 18 or older 

 Twin - kids ages 2 and up 

 Twin Xl – same length as queen, good for tall kids or adults 

 Toddler Mattress – find them in the Children's Furniture item class if we have any.

 

 These mattresses fit in a crib or a toddler bed 

 

 

 

 

 

 Platform Beds- Grant 

 

 We buy these with grant money
