I have THIS bed and am really happy with it.

I was looking at that option also but cannot put together a decent priced one.

My DD bought one and it was so uncomfortable that she wound up putting her box spring back on the bed. Now it is so high, it looks ridiculous but she says it's comfortable.

I am not sure how you can make sure that it will be comfortable enough to your liking.

A greater number of mattress sizes are now available in the U.S. and Canada. Regular twin and full size mattress are 75" long, but 80" long versions are available. These are still harder to find, but you should call around to local mattress sellers and department stores. Make sure they understand you want a Full Extra Long. These are also available through online merchants.

Longer sheets are also available which is especially important for the fitted sheet. Fitted sheets tend to wear out more quickly in my experience, so I found a SOURCE that will sell just fitted sheets and they supply for full extra long.

I have a platform bed and I love it. I bought one for the guest room and my mother and her husband have found it comfortable. They were expensive though and they have gone up in price since I bought them a couple years ago. I will say that the dwr sonna mattress is very comfortable.

I might also check out ikea. I think the mattress is the most important part.
