Modern Platform Beds from Charles P. Rogers

With the rise in popularity of modern design in the mid-20th century, platform beds have become some of our best-selling bed styles. Sleeker and lower than traditional beds, they are designed to use a mattress alone rather than a mattress and box spring.

At Charles P. Rogers, our platform bed styles represent the best of contemporary European, American and Japanese design. Offered in wood, metal and upholstery, all of our platform beds include an internal framework and solid wood base to provide strong rigid support for the entire mattress. Our wood platform bed frames are sturdily constructed from solid hardwood planks matched for quality and grain. Our durable finishes enhance the natural beauty and character of the wood. Each bed is precisely fit and finished with our 150 years of bed-making experience.

Modern Platform Beds: our Zen platform bed offers a fresh, modern design, beautifully constructed of solid hardwood in a deep, rich espresso finish. Click image to view more selections.

Beds made with steel are manufactured with the same care and techniques as our more conventional brass and iron beds. All upholstery is designed for comfort, style and durability.

When Charles P. Rogers founded our company in 1855, little did he know that his company would be as long-lived as the beds he made. Today we celebrate over 150 years of business with an ever-expanding selection of models and styles, including classics from our early days, contemporary designs from the entire 20th century and even premium bed linens.

The platform beds you see on our web site are different from those on other web sites and in catalogs or stores. Each is an original, exclusive design, made in our own factories and available by you, our customer, for direct purchase. We use authentic materials and processes in their construction and pay particular attention to proportion and detail in order to retain the integrity of classic designs while accommodating contemporary bedding sizes.

All of our products are made to the same high standards and offer quality and value that becomes ever more apparent over a lifetime of ownership. Our range of prices is representative of differences in materials and complexity, but, because of our "factory-direct" business model, all bed prices represent substantial discounts over what you would pay for comparable quality in traditional stores.

By necessity we have remained a small company as our products cannot be mass-produced. The advantage for you is that our staff understands and cares how beds are made and they know the best way to get them to your home efficiently and economically.

Since our inception, we have manufactured and sold our products directly to the public from our Manhattan factory showroom or by mail or phone in our catalog. Our warehouse in New Jersey is also open to the public. Right now, a large selection of our most popular styles are in stock and available at substantial savings from made to order prices. Simply order online, by telephone or by visiting one of our factory showrooms. We look forward to assisting you in any way possible and we can't wait to add you to our growing list of delighted customers.
