here are the other DIY bed projects I made: The Work From Home Bed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM2Vg7WLtsmWe3U.html DIY Modern Platform Bed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6qgnJOg2d7RfIk.html Sofa Day Bed Combination kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNGTorSf2s_VaZs.html Netflix and Chill Bed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qUnqZ3x5vWm6M.html

the fact that it would alleviate stubbed toes AND remove obstacles from cleaning around the bed makes this even more desirable.

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzfaq.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

I like this. It makes cleaning under the bed a lot easier.

I watched this from biggining to end with out skiping!

Just curious, how does this bed hold up when you play "games" on it. Asking for a friend.

Add LED lights underneath. Simulate lightning flashes underneath the bed. Like on Cloud 9.

Absolutely superb! Design concept for future of bedding! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What r u -- a designer, architect, sculptor, artist, carpenter, blacksmith or a musician. Whatever u actually r, this piece of art is simply brilliant. In fact, you should exhibit ur floating bed at MOMA :-). I wish I can do this. Thanks for letting us go thorough the entire process. Again, this is brilliant.

This is incredible..

just discovered these awesome floating daybeds at the fillup club. Best thing for summer

ALL of the aesthetics are pleasing. The bed, the headboard, you, the linen sheets, the pillows, the comforter.

Adding some LED lights like under the low riders used to have would be “sweet” maybe even some color changing for the “mood”

It’s beautiful and looks very sturdy

This is very Millennial. Nice job!

Imagine covering the bed with pillow puff to create a cloud bed, and maybe add led lights for changing color, as if the cloud can have different colors, or make the bed look like a magic carpet 👀 with like a Aladdin carpet bedding

Me : Gotta sleep after this music.. KZfaq : Making a Floating bed. Also Me : Okay last one

I kinda wish the corners are rounded. I can just imagine myself hitting my knees on the corners because the bed has no legs to stub my toes on 😂

The fact that there is so much space for monsters to hide made me tarrified

The expanded mesh also helps with ventilation of the mattress. Plywood can trap moisture. Humidity, sweat,(can cause mold) Beautiful job. Can’t imagine building 30-100 of these for a motel.

Now this is the bed i was imaging sleeping on before the first time I showed up to Maker Ranch. Loving the design aesthetic, Ben! 💪

I like how you showed the final product first

This is the only floating bed I've seen that actually looks impressive. The others just look like the water bed my aunt and uncle had when I was a kid.

every welding project you post makes me that much more likely to try it out!

I love that you can't stub your toe on the legs of the bed; I''m always doing that on mine.

You're such a freakin' genius, man!!!

Ooh, I was late to find this video. Great DIY videos, man!!

9:48 WOW! The detail that finish brought out is really stunning!

This is so good. The acrylic center support is such a clever touch to tie the floating illusion together.

the nice part about this build is that it can be vacuumed under, unlike some of the other builds I’ve seen on here

A floating bed to get some floating head! :D

I think that on the end of the bed there should be something to stop the mattress from sliding. The bed looks great!

Love what you did here .So well explained .Thankyou for making this video so clear and concise with description of decisions as you went along. Blessings on you and yours.

this is great idea, cleaning under the bed is much easier

A very nice and good work. Chapeau! 🤩🤩🤩

This is amazing and no more broken toes in a dark room at night. I'm guessing it would also work with a King size as well. I really enjoyed this, thank you.

I absolutely love the way it looks finished. I think you'd want something covering the mesh so that it doesn't tear up the bottom of a mattress when people are heavily using it. Especially in a hotel setting. And some way of changing the look of the steel frame. Maybe it could be wrapped in thin foam to soften the edges and then a tight fitting sheet could be wrapped around it before the mattress is put on. I already want to learn welding, and I think this is an amazing project for it.

A red light fitted underneath the frame would create a really cool nighttime look, great job.

So I just saw this video and I thought this looks great. If you are looking at using this for a hotel project, leave the acrylic slab/leg under the bed and see if you can run LED lights into the acrylic to help light up the floor to enhance the floating bed look. One thing I would recommend to minimize bumps and bruises from the metal frame is to have the frame wrapped with foam covered in fabric or shrink the dimensions of the frame by a quarter inch smaller than the mattress. Overall, excellent work!!!👍

Looks sick! The folding makes it really look like the bed is floating.

Ben this is amazing!! I want the audience to lobby sawstop to get one over to Ben and the team at the maker ranch!! ASAP!

wow...amazing...very nicely done...and easy to clean underneath...

very cool 👍sweeping under the bed will be easier now

People who stub their toes gonna love this one

Super stoned and here I am learning how to make a bed I’m probably never going to make 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

looks great .... the fact that you are using ryobi tools is gold

Mashallah Mashallah, our sheik Allah bless you in this world and here after with your family and the umhh that you love😍😍💕💕💐💐💐

Wow, great ideas. I do worry about the mattress moving and catching a shin on that metal corner but that could be rounded or, better, padded. Thanks for the tips.

You need to coat the back of the timber with the oil to stop it warping due to uneven moisture absorption from the environment, this is very important, the slab will start to warp and cannot be un-warped without refinishing it with a planer.

Great job and I appreciate the detailed information, as you went along. Your sister flopping around on the demo was funny and cute, too.

Absolutely Gorgeous 💖🥰

i think staying w the acrylic will give u some great led lightg options as the material amplifies even a small amount of led ! with the right controller u could make some brite OR warm ambience 😊. change colors so that it enhances the bed spread, quilt or down comforter or what moves ya.

Those sharp steel edges are perfect to crack open your shins.

It needs lights that illuminate from underneath. Color changing lights! Very Cool my teen would love this bed!

Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈

12:58 - The moment I've been waiting for! YAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!!!

"Floating" Awesome project dude!

Led lights under it would make it super cool. LOVE IT!!!

Out friggin-standing!!!!!

Me: Interesting, I might try it 🤔 Slab: Over 1000 for just a slab of wood Me: 😂 Nevermind

This is just amazing, but I'm concerned with it's resistance long term. Like how long will this hold with daily usage compared to a 4 feet bed?

This takes a whole new level of trust...

I LOVE this bed!

When i see a bed or any piece of furniture with a steel sharp corner at shins heith, some painfull experience tell me this is not a good design !

I’m actually pumped to try this. Totally well within my skill level.

I like how simple the build is and not complicated at all. I was also thinking just adding some steel legs would do the job instead of the acrylic board.

This was awesome love the details and creativity.

Wow, i Love the idea. Maybe I do something like that with wood (im not a great Welder...) Love the idea so that my robot vacuum doesn’t get stuck.

Nice job! I would add a small wood trim all around on top the sides of iron frame to hide it. It would match the wood panel and make it overall perfect! IMHO. ;)

Amazing. You know this guy is the real deal. Fantastic.craftsman.

Keep the acrylic middle “foot”. Love this bed!!

I think the most important part of cutting any material is to know what type of blade to use. Seems like you have a great budget to work with so I'll say to cut up to a 3" plexiglas or acrylic block use a 70 tooth 12 inch blade with a negative pitch on a table saw. I'm not sure how many teeth would be for a smaller blade, but I assure you the cut will not work very well in smaller blades for thick materials. I worked as the head tablesaw operator at Midwest Trophy in Oklahoma for many years. They make trophies for baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and other sports along with many trophies nationwide on an elite level. I was in charge of cutting the most demanding materials and oversee others so I know what I'm talking about with cutting materials. As far as buffing the cuts using a torch is your best option, It gives an instant almost baby like butt shine, but only if you go at a steady slow speed. It works so well you don't need to buff. Not too slow not too fast. Too slow or fast will create white residue that most of the time will bind or make your blade stick to the material. Experiment until you know how long to hold the torch on the plexi or acrylic pieces. The reason you had a problem getting the plexi clear was because you used a blade that scarred the material more than it cut it creating more work. Make sure when you cut the materials you go at a steady slow speed and the more you pay attention to the same speed all the way through the material the smoother your cut will be. You did a fine job on the bed frame, only make sure when cutting the metal tubing you cut the right length or larger. You can always grind it smaller but cutting it smaller will end up creating more work time as you so mentioned. Thanks for sharing!

I love this!! It's brilliant and well executed!

I LOVE this video. You guys make it look so easy.

I think there's a need of a lip around frame from 3 sides to prevent matress movement. Also, ideally, to make corners (at least 2 bottom ones) rounded to make mesh and frame corners invisible.

New pickup line: hey girl, wanna stress test my new floating bed 😁

Floating bed that doesn’t float. Bravo

End result looks great, and that wood looks beautiful, but my shins are already hurting looking at those corners sticking out. Would have liked to see a 3/4" taller side by welding on some 3/4" tube on top of the 1" tube, around the edge, so a full sheet of plywood cut in sections could have been placed into the frame instead of that wire mesh. Chamfer the corners next time for shin pain reduction and all is excellent.

Look how soft that mattress is, i couldn't sleep on that! I need really hard mattresses cause of back pain.

Very nice. I did the whole construction from wood and attached it only to the wall, without any "feet/foot".

Wow ! The effect is incredible 👏👏👏👏

Eyes: See floating bed Brain: So YoU tHiNk I'm SkInNyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!

Awesome job on the frame my friend, and if you haven't already stubbed your leg, on those corners, you'll need to add something rubberized to minimise that from happening, and maybe even add some subdued blue lighting around the underside perimeter of the frame to add an extra visual effect & it would look more inviting for your partner as well & might even add a margin of safety against banging your legs on that steel frame especially at night. 😜👍

Great inspirational project! Minimalistic and beautiful!

That duvet fold is absolutely great

I'm kinda concerned about the long term seeping of oil into the bed sheets from the bed head. Maybe an epoxy finish would be best? Thanks for the video and jumping on the bed. I feel a lot better about investing in such a project

I don't think this bed could handle rough good times 😂

That is gorgeous and brilliant. Well done! I want one. King size.

Brilliant and Beautiful

The frame should be a lil smaller than the mattress, it would prevent legs from getting scratches all the time or hurt when sticking out of bed.

To solve the issue of flexing in the frame, triangulation could be used.

I love everything about this...now I want to buy a welder and learn how to use it. Thanks for sharing.

EXCELLENT DESIGN

This bed design is beautiful and would be very practical in Hawaii, where centipedes are an issue 😬

I love this bed ... very clean and aesthetically pleasing and on a practical level, SO easy to clean under!!! Thanks so much Ben!

That is amazing.. and looks fantastic 😊😊😊😊

I love this. And the acrylic is a very nice addition.
