My husband has built two Q-size platform beds with storage under. For access, the top raises up on one side with gas piston rods. When we lived in our condo, storage was at a premium and that's where he conceived of the idea. Voila! 30 cu. ft. of storage for files, out-of-season clothing, etc. When we moved here he duplicated it for the guest room. You can use it with a bedskirt and headboard and it looks just like a regular bed.
Our guests don't even notice that it's a platform bed (at least until he raises the top and shows them). But, without exception, they all remark how comfortable the mattress is. It's a Beautyrest.
