Here's a real easy way to make your own bed base out of softwood timber.
This is a perfect solution to making the ideal bed base without spending hundreds of pounds.
In this project I am making a Super King Size bed, but this method can be used to make a single, small double, standard double, and King size bed.
You can do without the center slat support if you are going to make a single bed.
This DIY bed project is perfect for all skill levels, so whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just getting started, we've got you covered.

Thankyou, I have made this bed and it's awesome. Extended the legs and made a headboard. Couldn't have done it without your video. 'It's Friday night and I'm having a beer' is now a standard quote in our house.

@fontybits 2 жыл бұрын

Suggestions: Make the legs high enough to enable you to use the large area under the bed for storage, e.g. suitcases, mother-in-law, etc. Also, cut out a rebate on the bottom of 2 legs, to allow the bed to be pushed up flush with the wall & avoid hitting the skirting board.

You definitely don't want a bed pushed up flush with a wall. You want some airflow to discourage mould growth.

Hi Justin, Just to say we followed your video, and have completed our double bed. Our local wood supplier was most helpful, when we told him what we were attempting. We chose to make the (head end) legs higher, at 39” (100mm), and the foot legs 20”(50mm). The upper legs we have included to horizontal bars, thus giving us a headboard. Comments so far have been positive, we tell them it was from your site. 👍👍👍👍

Hello My British Amigo!! I am a Latin man living in Canadá!!! I watched some other videos on KZfaq how to build the best and easiest bed frame. I was about to give up with someone else's design when your video came up!! I AM SO HAPPY!! I watched yours 'cause is THE BEST!!! my friend !! The easiest to put together and and take apart for moving purposes. Pretty looking clean frame and must have for sure nice aroma too. I don't like to copy-cat 100%, but pretty close..I will just make one small change in the little piece of wood that goes in the center from front and bottom of 2"×6" to hold/support the 2"×3" timber that hold the slots across. Congratulations I give you 100% ☺️👊👍Muchas Gracias🙏..Hasta Vista🙋AMIGO..!!SALUTES desde Alberta, Canadá

@D3cyTH3r 4 ай бұрын

Hi Rolando, did you make this bed in the end? If so, could I ask what change you made to the little piece of wood? I feel like that is the only week spot in this design. It's basically a 1" strip of wood holding the 2"x3" (it's only as strong as it's weakest spot, and the screw is going to doing be most of the work).

Two thoughts: 1) all that weight being supported is dependent upon the sheer strength of the screws. Screws are not great for sheer strength. 2) all of that wood hanging past the mattress, especially the corners, is bothersome to me. Especially when considering getting in and out of the bed. I’m looking to build my own king-size frame and those were the only issues I would have, personally. Otherwise, I think it’s an excellent build!
