PLATFORM: The inner bed support system that includes the side and center supports and slat system; can be positioned at two heights.
FRAME: The outer wood frame and legs that surrounds the platform and attach to the headboard; can be positioned at two heights.
Your BDI bed's PLATFORM and FRAME can each be placed in two positions, meaning that your bed can be assembled in one of four configurations depending on the size and desired height of your mattress. To position your mattress at the ideal height – usually around 24" from the floor – refer to the chart below for the recommended configuration.
| Mattress Size | Recommended Configuration | Mattress Height Off Floor |
| 10" | High Platform | High Frame | 24" / 61 cm |
| 12" | Low Platform | High Frame | 23" / 58 cm |
| 14" | Low Platform | High Frame | 25" / 64 cm |
| 16" | Low Platform | Low Frame | 24" / 61 cm |
