Thoughts concerning a new sleeping structure for my use.

My current bedding is far too large, given that it's just me. It's bad enough where I currently live, but in the room at Beth & Karen's that I'll be moving into, it's just not an option any longer; I need every inch of space I can get.

Most of my life I've slept on a mattress with no bedsprings, or a futon, or a pile of blankets, etc., so I'm not wedded to a traditional mattress/bedspring combination.
That's a good thing, as they are bloody expensive, if you want something that doesn't negatively impact someone with chemical sensitivity issues, such as my sister-in-law whose room is just across the hall.

I do, however, have a bed frame that I rather like, and would like to utilize. It's a standard twin, with 10.5" from the floor to the bottom of the cross-members of the headboard/footboard, and somewhat higher to the actual rails. Thus, there's storage space under it.

So.
A platform, which has supports that would rest on the rails, raising the actual surface for the bedding to a height that is comfortable for me to get on and off of.
Storage built into the support structure of the platform. Waste space is not an option.Either slats, or a rope bed suspension.
One or more wool mattress toppers.

Constructing this prior to moving is a good idea.
Actually, it's necessary that it occur first, as it needs to replace the bedding currently on the floor of the room I'll be moving into which also takes up far too much space; it has to happen prior to my being able to proceed any further with shifting stuff from Tacoma to Olympia.
