I'm thinking of converting our regular bed to a platform bed (simply putting luan or plywood on the slats, and the mattress on them and getting rid of the box springs. Anyone go from regular bed to platform who can attest to any comfort changes? I just want to lower the bed (it stands really high right now). Just curious what it does to the comfort level of the bed.

TIA.

I just recently went from boxspring to platform. I don't feel any difference, but then again, I'm the person that fell asleep in a tent that was leaking from a terrential downpour - water dripping on me and I was still peacefully sleeping.

Here's IKEA's beds, plenty are low:

And they have slatted bases that are sold separatly. Think one of these would work with yours?
