Miranda, thanks for bringing this up.  There are two things that might have caused this: 1) if you're not logged in and you enter a comment (or anything), once you hit the "create" button, you're taken to login, and you're comment is gone!  This is bad -- we will fix.  2) I don't think you're bumping into it, but there is a size restriction.

Whatever the error you had, we're sorry.  The site should be much more explicit, and shouldn't just erase stuff you type -- that sucks!  We're working today and this weekend on making the comments and blog posting better.

Miranda is crabby because her comment on the platform bed issue keeps not posting on the appropriate page, so she has posted on that page a complaint about how her comment keeps getting lost. Miranda doesn't have time to write the same thing over and over and over and over, but here's the info for posterity.

Miranda suggests that you (meaning, the person looking for a very low, minimalist platform bed)  buy a trifold futon frame on rails, like the one at the bottom of this page from the Boston Bed Company, and dress it up with boards on the side (if necessary) to fill up the space between the floor and the platform, or just count on the fact that lovely linens and a general minimalist/faux-Japanese feel will overwhelm the negative connotations futons have.

Do not use a futon mattress, a regular one will be fine. You don't need a box spring with this setup. The platform is usually around 6" off the ground.

Bonus: under $200, quite a bit less if you're handy and can adapt the idea with 2x4-6s (rails) and 1x4s (slats).
