If any of my American readers can be bothered, could you send me a message explaining why (apparently) platform beds are only just becoming popular in the USA? What sort of beds did you normally sleep on in the past? I’m genuinely intrigued by this one. I doubt you all have futons or bunk beds Seriously, I did a little googling, and a few sites claimed that whilst popular over here in Europe and Asia, they were only just hitting the big time in America recently?
