Glad you mentioned the part about mold. It seems like people are becoming more aware of its dangers. Great, solid frame!

Might be cheaper to purchase a basic bedframe.

That bed frame must weigh a bunch! There’s enough wood to frame another wall.

That's a HEAVY bedframe

The hardwood floor is gorgeous.

I love guys who are into DIY. ❤ My bf hates it! He'd totally give my work compliments as long as he doesn't know I did it. The moment I say I did, he'd start giving a hundred and one reasons why I should stop being stingy and pay someone.

For information: I bought a very high quality mattress a few years ago, along with an even more expensive memory foam top mattress, to get some really good sleep. I was never really happy with it, till I replaced the bedframe with a higher quality product, with bended oak bed springs. It completely transformed the bed, even though they're a foot and a half below the top of the bed. What I'm saying is: Those 2 x 4 supporting the mattress aren't doing you any favors. I'm old military and I can sleep anywhere, but for truly excellent sleep, the springs are important.

ALWAYS nice to see the man and woman working together

I want that frame just as it is. great job!

Those gaps in the slats are normal if you look at any bed fram with good slats they are at least a hand width apart

No box spring? They exist for a reason. You're wasting a lot of lumber, and making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Turn the cross members on edge like the outside. Not only will it make it several times stronger, you can space them farther apart. Put in bridging on the ends and your mattress wont sag at all. I'd also put the legs on the corners, it will make it a lot more stable. A single post in the middle will eliminate any sagging.

I think you did an amazing job with that frame and you should keep it

Gaps definitely not too wide. I built a bedframe with 2.5in gaps that only has a 3in latex foam mattress on top. Orientation matters though, going horizontally/width-wise. Only noticeable when I lean on my elbows to get up or turn over.

What a great job!!! I love the way this looks, and I think it was brilliant to use products you can re-use, rather than buying a metal frame, only to have to dispose of it when you're finally at a place where you can decide about the frame you'd like to have permanently!

The frame is awesome! Not to mention a thoughtful remedy.

Awesome and it is beautiful. Given any consideration for the height? about 12" from the floor? it does make getting in and out much easier for the body.

“We need a way to keep the mattress off the floor”…. You mean….like buying a bed frame??

just shared all the specs/dimensions on insta!

This bed frame has a really beautiful rustic chic & minimalist qualities ❤ imagine if it was stained or made in a different wood species ❤❤❤. Great work

Love it, great idea and looks cool 🇮🇪🍀

You aren't kidding about moldy mattresses. I moved to Valdosta, GA (super humid and hot), put down my new carpet and laid the mattress directly on it. Later an air conditioner was added to the small room. . 8 months later I lifted the mattress and rug and both were covered in mold underneath. Directly to the dump!

Id use that frame for years, it's perfectly fine imo

Hi can you make a video on how you made this from beginning to end?

That's a great-looking frame, you did a great job

You can buy a good metal bedframe for about half the cost of the lumber you used here. And it would look nicer. But good project.

At today's outrageous lumber prices, why not just get an inexpensive metal bedframe?

Very clever, well done 👍

Good man. I appreciate people saving money, being creative, and doing stuff with 2x4s. not necessarily in that order.

By the time you paid for all the lumber- which is expensive, and the screws to keep it together, you could have bought the platform frame and had money left over. The price of lumber it way toouch

Perfect Craftsmanship . . I would have done the same by adding the extras where needed . .

I love that you built a bed frame that was more expensive than one you could’ve bought. We share the same style.

I would love to have a bed frame like that one, where I am from wood frames are considered a luxry

Sweet! I've made so many bed frames myself, I love it ❤

Looks luxurious and naturel! LOVE it!

I want to totally make a bed like this but i will do this when i move to my house that i plan to live long term.

Love it great job that’s a keeper

I love its simplicity.

You did a great job in my opinion

I think the frame is fine. Add some sturdy metal legs, and you're good. The way you have it now allows for revisions easily.

this is way better than the bedframes you buy. we got rid of ours and also made one similar. it will actually last and not break. good job. ignore the rude comments.

Bet, that is such a simple design and it's easily customizable...Noice

This is brilliant all you might need it a nice headband detail for styling purposes. Which you probably would make 😊

Very Nice! Spacing for platform frame should be within 2.5" to 4" inches Max to be within most Warranty Coverages

nice designs good reinforcement

I think it's a beautiful bed frame the way it is.

I've built similar support before, they are brutal, hurt your back. I've found the best support is a basic metal bed with tubular steel pipes, they offer some give and improve the way the mattress feels, you dont wake up soar and beat up like on a solid base (for us)

Good job stretching the original frame. with minimal rework!

Metal frame + plywood, Amazon costs 100 bucks, plywood 30. Saved you 5 hours.

Love that bed!!❤❤❤❤

Honestly the cost of the lumber and wood screws probably goes waaaaaay beyond what it would cost to simply purchased a premade platform bed frame……also, that is SOOO heavy.

This is taking tight arse to a whole new level!

Looks nice, I'm just a little shocked it's built completely out of 2x4! That's so much money!

Only modification I would suggest is to take it apart, and seal every surface of the timber, even where timber meets timber, with a good oil based sealer. One day, you will go to flip your mattress, and the timber it was touching will be green and black, and you will have to dispose of it. At least sealed, the moulds will not get into the timber.

I wish I was able to do this 😢

It’s very good looking! 👍

Dude I am pretty amazed I used to do lots of woodworking it was my side hobby tk parkour Freerunning and flips I got hurt doing a front flip off of 20 ft which I used to do all the time but didn’t do this one right face planted onto concrete had 3 heart attacks I think the berry first day I don’t remember if it’s heart attacks or something else that was going wrong with my heart beachside of a bit of a memory problem I was in a coma long enough that my bones he and I’m trying to get back into life and woodworking is something I’m trying to do again and I have a small mistake and instead of doing what you did and fixing it I get nervous and normally quit. That could have been said poorly it’s late and I’ve had two rough nights of sleep but either way from my perspective that truly is incredible what you have done. Thank you for that video 😊

Nice job!

I only started thinking about the mold once we decided to move into an rv and I noticed the steam build up under the mattress… learned something new that day lol

very nice! but I like KYDINS bed frame metal. it's more sturdy and noise free

When using a slated bed platform, you need a box spring. If you don’t want a box spring then you need a solid bed platform

Like very much the temporay foundation, very nice craftmanship...although you should check with the mattress manufacturer what kind of foundation the mattress requires. Most recent mattresses require a solid foundation, as a slat foundation will not provide adequate support and will even damage the mattress. You can easily modify your slat foundation to a solid one, by adding mdf sheets or similar on top of the slats. If ventilation is an issue, you can also drill small holes on the mdf sheets.

Or you could just buy a metal bed frame that is the correct size.

Using large cardboard sheets helps with the slight sag between the runners.

Nothing shoddy about this frame. Well done 🎉

Very nice wood!

The cost for the drill, saw screw bits with screws and lumber that was bought at the high of lumber costs. Any department store craigslist would be way cheeper and easier.

Awesome !!! I love it

Imagine the squeaks and scratch noises when "moving" in the bed

Really helpful to see your design revisions. Nice and solid.

That thing is a beast with all those 2x4. I'm thinking you'll reuse those 2x4 someday. Vs using something much lighter like furring strips

Lotta action with a frame like that. Good Stuff. Thanks

Very impressive but please share one easy king size headboard as my house is very small to take the headboard upstairs. Please share a Vedio for non carpentry person who can easy built king headboard in two pieces Thanks

I feel like you could buy one cheaper than all that wood maybe not

Led strip underneath look cool 👌🏻

I highly recommend structural screws over regular just due to usage over time I'm not sure a normal screw will be able to handle it but otherwise it looks great!

If you guys want a professional way to do it that's cheap easy to make yourself.make a rectangular box attach a strong piece of OSB plywood. attached to to the top to the bottom of the box to the floor place your mattress on it and it makes it look like your whole beds floating off the ground

Nice to see your friend help you.

Just use it as chopped wood and buy a real good wood frame. I have one and I use the storage for emergency 🎒 🛍 💰. Works good!

That's a solid bedframe, awesome

I count about 120$ in lumber a good steel frame is like 50 bucks

Do you ever make build plans? And sell them? Just wondering cause this looks like an actual beginner friendly bed frame

Like daft punk said: work it make it better faster stronger! Sumn like that 👍🏻

Hey just noticed looks like y’all are using two drills you should invest in a impacts driver if your going to be doing projects like that…..just will make things easier on your and you won’t strip screws and it will be easier for you lag those long timber screws your using in

Excellent job well done 💯😊

Mine sits 5 ft off the floor with a Cali king on top and a tiny workshop underneath. The only down side is the head space. So if you’re going taller stay under 4 ft lol your head will than you

Using 2×4s to build furniture is wild in my opinion but hey to each is own

I used the pallets that my local hardware store leaves outside when i was moving.The only thing i paid for was the plastic wrap i used to cover the pallets since they were dirty.

This guy definitely a politician. Spent all that time and money on something that could of been solved at half the time and money 😅

Good job

Temporary? Dude that looks great

WHO NEEDS STORE JUNK FUTURE WITH THIS QUALITY , LIVING ROOM NEXT

Mate. Solid bed with wires that pull it to the roof with a small electric winch.

Just build a smaller frame under it. And use plywood under the martress n you got a real floating bed frame

Looks great. Let us know how it works out. ❤❤ Please

Good idea to change the frame. I was in fear for the beautiful hair from your friend working with a drill 😮

Amount of money you spent on the wood for that bedframe could Have paid for two regular bed frames

Pretty

Dude the flaw is the risers so unstable tie them together , so you and your Gf won’t brake it down😊

On Amazon there are easy to assemble bed frames for $150. It's cheaper and way better looking.

Love it😍
