I've decided to spring for an all-latex flobed.  I was wondering if there are pros and cons for what goes under it.  I was thinking about starting off on the floor so if a baby falls off, it's less of a fall.  I suspect this may be hard or uncomfortable to get out of bed with it sitting directly on the floor.  Are there other disadvantages?  All the platforms use slats underneath.  Is there some advantage for letting the mattress breath underneath?

What if I made my own platform by getting a sturdy bedframe and putting down plywood, then using the bed risers underneath the frame to get it up to normal height.  Any disadvantage vs. a platform?  I guess it is back to the question of floor underneath vs. slats underneath.
