We used 2 x 8 lumber to build a frame, and then for crosspieces we used 2 x 6’s inside the frame to give it stiffness and strength (like building a stud wall). Then we cut plywood and screwed it down on top. You can find plans on the web for building a platform bed, which is pretty much the same thing. We like it better than the other mattress and boxspring we were sleeping on.
the whole box springs thing… I don’t know how big your room is, but our king has 2 twins springs for support. That makes it easier to “bend” around corners than a queen size. However, we have a new bed, on its second year and we really don’t feel like the springs have held up. How do you build your own?? I am not bad at DIY if it is not too hard. Is this something you would sleep on if you had a choice??
Thanks!!
