Bed Choices

I know I mentioned months ago that I was in need of a new mattress. . . and well, I still am. Going to a showroom and laying on a bunch of strange beds does not sound like a good time to me, so I've been putting it off. But, now that I've been putting so much effort into getting my bedroom picked up and organized, it seems like this might be the right time to suck it up and get myself a new place to rest my head.


Problem is (of course there is a problem) I'm not sure what I should do for a foundation: slats, platform, box spring? I've always had a box spring, but I'm not so sure I actually like them. I love the look of the Mandal platform bed from Ikea, but I worry that it will be too low, I worry about slats, just because I've never had them before. . . I'm sorta leaning towards this platform frame I saw on Target.com the other day -

If you have any bed foundation advice you can share I'd be super glad to hear it.
