Platform bed

I decided to raise my bed 20 inches higher off the floor so anything that crawls on the floor can't get to me. This all started after a scorpion crawled onto my shoulder while I was sleeping. Luckily it didn't sting me and I woke up in time to kill it. It got into my bed because the sheets were touching the floor and gave the scorpion a way up. With the bed this high off the ground it makes it harder for them to get there. The extra space under the bed is good for storage of backpacks, books, cloths, or just about anything 20" or smaller.
