Great question. Here's why it's better to support your kids' mattress with a low bed frame vs. placing it directly on the ground:
- A floor bed frame helps your little one get used to climbing in and out of an elevated bed.
- Mattresses need to breathe. Without proper ventilation underneath, mattresses trap moisture, which can cause mold and mildew.
- A floor bed's slight elevation helps keep the mattress safe and clean from critters, dust, and debris that accumulate on the ground.
