I was searching for bedframes a few weeks ago to gather ideas. I bookmarked a number of videos I liked, and I'm going back through the list today to start solidifying my plans. As I watched this video again I thought to myself, "Oh yeah... the guy who claps" 😁 Very nice video, straight to the point, and the final result looks great! Thanks for posting.
That’s awesome! Thank you for the comment. I love hearing stories like these! It makes me happy that others out there are able to use my videos to build their own DIY projects!
I enjoyed your video. I never thought of using the motion sensor on the led lights. Pure genius. As a contractor I can find a hundred things I would change on every build video. In this case there are only 2. 1. A mistake I made in a bed build is you should have recessed the slats approximately 3/4" and placed 1/4" luan, MDF, Ply (no matter) or the mattress will begin to fail and you will feel every slat. 2. The top trim boards should be under sized by 1/2" to 3/4" in length and width. These two things force the mattress down 1/2" which gives a neater appearance in the corners and prevents the mattress from shifting.
I came to find a way to build myself one of these beds and learnt that I need to get a man who can build things. This whole process is so cool and a lot of work but the end result mindblowing.✌🏽❤️💯
Watched a bunch of floating bed videos, and this was the best. I was installing over hardwood, and used cheap lumber, so made the following adjustments for my case: - Instead of staining the 2x8s, nailed a stained hardwood 1x8 fascia on the front and top - my lumber was too cheap to stain or paint, so upholdstered black felt over the bottom box, which also served to be protection over the floor. Looked great. - used hurricane straps to connect bottom to top box - to avoid future squeaks, did not screw slats down, but instead lined the top of 2x2 (2x3 in my case) and inside of the box with leftover felt, and then held the slats in place with webbing screwed in-between the slats. - instead of ripping a 2x8, just used a 2x6 and placed the 2x3's to match
Nice work 👍🏼 To check for square with something more reliable than a speed square, use a Pythagorean triple like 3:4:5, pull 3' on one side 4' on the longer side and adjust the box until the 3' & 4' measures 5' diagonally, then you're square. This can be scaled up to 6:8:10 & 12:16:20 etc for bigger projects.
Great job- I made my first platform bed in 1978- wish I had TH-cam back in the day - it would have made my life a lot easier. Excellent job it looks great.
I built one similar, my wife is short and she complained about the height and the exposed edge. I cut it down to 3 inch base and a added boxs springs . Good job keep going I like it
The end product looked great. The underbed lighting certainly helped add the visual effect of it floating. Personally I would have rounded the corners to stop you stabbing your self in the future.
For DYI and workshop enthusiasts where saws and drills roaring all the time, few claps should be totally fine. I was just wondering how this design could be turned into less permanently nailed build, an assembled one that can be moved easily. Great content!
Haha, very true about the claps 😂 I think the 2 boxes would need to be permanently built but they could be more easily separated and then the headboard could be separate so it’s more easily transported
Great job I used this to make a Floating bed it cam out Spectacular!! One *Note, your Inner/ outer dimensions for your cap are set for a 2x6, however you made the decision to go 2x4 won’t get a 45 degree cut with the given dimensions it’s not hard to figure out just watch your cuts! Amazing video Thank you!
Thank you! That's awesome that you were able to make it yourself! I actually did, however, list the dimensions for the top cap using 2x4s but I had it as 4" instead of the nominal width of 3.5" wide. I updated the outer dimensions to reflect this. Thanks for the catch!
Thank you! I haven’t done a king size but all the dimensions are in the description. You can adjust the measurements to fit a king bed. Hope that helps 😁
Love the Claps. Great bed. Now let's see how my project turns out for my daughter. What are the dimensions of that bedroom? Thank you for the video. !Happy 2023!
Awesome work! It made me consider building one. Next video, maybe edit out the "Let's get to it 👏" 😅. But seriously, congrats, it is a very minimalistic and modern bed and I love it.
For the headboard I found the standard Ghost Wood boards sold at Home Depot in-store. They’re like $13-21 a Board depending on size. Worth it. I also used pocket holes to hold everything together, including the 2x4 top edging. Other than that, I followed your plans and it turned out great. Made my wife happy. Those lights work great too. Bought a second set for beneath our kitchen cabinets. Total project cost was right around $345 in supplies. Free labor…me.
Just a tip; when ripping boards on a table saw, keep the bigger piece against the guide. You had it switched in the beginning. It can be a safety hazard.
I can just imagine walking to the bed and me, never looking where I'm going, smashing my shins on those nice sharp wood corners. Looks really cool though
Yes Sir! Amazing! Can you please let me know the measurements for a Kink size? I want to build it and I am at the store and realize this is for a Queen size…
Was not a fan of all the claps personally to be honest, but the rest of your work was exceptional and has inspired me to build one, it looks very slick and different
Everyone has to have some authenticity. Everyone snapping their fingers. The clapping is his way of uniqueness. Enjoy the video and keep it pushing. Dang someone always complaining.
@@Aylee23 hardly a complaint, Get a grip. If I said get a grip every few seconds, would you actually get a grip or would you be offended by the fact that I told you to get a grip every few seconds because you need to get a grip LOL. You see, it is easy to over use something to the point it becomes annoyingly and unnecessary
Excellent design, man! Worked for me. :-). I dropped the slat rails 1/2" and put a 1/4" piece of plywood on the slats, under the mattress, so you can't see the floor at the edge of the mattress. Oh, and stained to match the rest of the exposed wood.
Thank you and nice job! I would drill some holes in the 1/4" plywood for ventilation of the mattress. The slats are meant to allow the mattress to breathe so some holes in the plywood would help with that.
I know this maybe a weird question. But is there any places where you can get the power tools used to build. Maybe second hand? I'm disabled so cost is a Huge issue but I have Ideas and desire a Plenty lol. Also any ideas on the MOST IMPORTANT tools that can allow for Many uses when doing Diy. I ask bc luv you step by step videos and seeing that you do this by your self (well with the village) but you show step by step the whole cutting process which is a life saver to me. So I figured maybe you'd be the person to ask about tools. Knw u get a Ton of questions. So 🤞🏾 maybe this one catches your eye. Thanks so much for the loads of inspiration. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏾💭
You can find lots of tools on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. I would start will a drill/impact driver and a circular saw. From there you can add tools to your arsenal as you need them
Someone actually gets the idea 😅 That was the plan haha, to make it a catch phrase or something of the like but it got a pretty bad reception lol! Maybe I’ll try to bring it back…
Nice design and video but without the dimensions it is not very helpful, especially given the issues around balance/stability. Can you please post the dimensions? Thanks! Would this bed work in a situation where you CANNOT secure the bed into the wall, like an apartment?
Thank you! I will list all the dimensions in the description. Let me know if you need any other info! Also, I think it would still work in a situation that you cannot secure it to the wall but it would be slightly less stable. But, as long as you are aware, I think you could avoid having any issues. Just probably shouldn't jump on it haha
how much weight can this hold if you have a rough guess i have 2 friends who are giants and weigh around 260lbs would they be able to sit on this bed with people? or would it be a thing where i would have to politely ask them not to sit on my bed?
I have had a variety of people sleep on the bed with no issues. The most amount of weight in total was probably around 400lbs. I can’t guarantee that it would hold 520lbs but I think it would fair just fine
I made one like that in '82 and still use it however I discovered the " Torsion Box " by Ian Kirby, Fine Woodworking, '82. Its basically a box consisting of a " honeycomb " type network of 1/4 " plywood covered by two sheets of 1/4 " plywood. It's like an airplane wing, very light and very resistant to twisting ( torsion ). It's important to rip all the pieces ( sides and " honey comb " at the same width without changing the fence. I made one for my table saw runoff table 20 yrs ago and it's still doing great. Nice job on yours though.
Yeah, I have built many torsion boxes before. For this bed it wasn't needed as the structure was already strong enough and there won't be much twisting forces applied to it. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful job brother!! That came out spectacular! Keep up the great content and I look forward to you’re future videos! Also the floating bedside tables was a perfect touch!
Very nice, really good idea I never saw a floating bed, maybe if the wooden wall you mounted on the side of the head, you would make a space of 10 cm with lighting, the feeling of the floating bed was stronger. Question: Have you checked if two people are sitting right at the end of the bed, the bed balanced? Nice job .
Good idea for the lighting. And yes, the bed can support multiple people without any issues. I used 6" lag screws to secure it to the wall so it is plenty strong
So this is for a queen and a full is 6" narrower and 5" shorter. Therefore I would take my dimensions in the description and subtract those measurements from the box sizes. Hope that helps!
You think a little more height to the inside base box would enhance the floating effect? Think those were 2 x 8’s correct? Maybe 2 x 10’s would look better
Good idea, but you gotta be careful if you raise the bed up higher. Yes, I did you use 2x8s, but if I went any higher, you would be able to see the lower box when looking at the bed which defeats the floating effect. Every room is a bit different and the angle you look at the bed changes but I found that 2x8s worked perfectly and raised the bed to a comfortable height to get in and out of. Hope that helps!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this Video 🤍 Would LOVE to see if building a KING SIZE would require a different build on the lower boards… As in adding more boards rather than just longer boards
Thank you! Those boards came from the demo of our kitchen. They are cedar boards that have aged with the house over the past 40 or so years. They have a really nice patina. You could try to recreate them by buying new cedar and make it look reclaimed by staining it and roughing it up a bit. Hope that helps! Good luck with the build!
Thank you! The frame is about 15” high since I used 2 2x8s and the mattress is about 11” so a total of 26”. I find the height to be perfect as my feet comfortably touch the ground when sitting on the bed 😁
I have a suggestion for you:- Make that headboard 1-2 inches away from the wall and put some lights back there so it will look like that board is not touching the wall just like the bed is not touching the ground. Btw, I really appreciate it!
Great design and pretty simple. Can you tell me what sort of wood you used for the headboard? Hard to tell if you purchased those boards that color or if it’s just standard fur/pine with an added finish. I’ll need to modify a bit for a Cal King. Thanks again for sharing. Great job.
Thank you! This is cedar that we reused from our kitchen demo. You won’t be able to find it in stores. Some of the big box stores sell legitimate reclaimed barn wood online though. It can be quite pricey however
Thanks! My son and I are building it!. Great video! How did you come up with the base dimensions? I’m asking for 2 reasons. 1. we want to convert to a size full bed and I see from your reply regarding a size Full that to narrow down to 6 in and shorten the length by 5 inches. 2. I don’t want the base to be too tippy (Like to limit screws or not screw bed into wall at all). Thanks!
Hey buddy. What would be the measurements of the two boxes? I’m looking to a twin maybe a queen but at least a twin. So what would be the the measurements of the two boxes? I also wasn’t looking to have such an edge on the sides.
A king mattress is 16” wider than a queen and the same length. So I would build the smaller box the same dimensions as listed in the description but widen it by 16” so it has the same amount of cantilever. Hope that helps!

I was doing the same until I realized the 50$ 20"h full bedframe from Amazon, was actually cheaper than even this option. 😂
moving into my house im abut to have a daughter! this idea omg thank you !!! best gift for my wife to come back home to !!!
That sounds like a great idea! Congrats!
Looks great, love what you did with the room. One minor suggestion I would make is adding black fluted wooden panels on the wall behind your bed.
Good idea! That would look very cool!
I made this bed frame! It turned out so amazing! It definitely had some challenges... But thank you so much for the inspiration and tutorial!
That’s awesome! Thank you for the comment. I love hearing stories like these! It makes me happy that others out there are able to use my videos to build their own DIY projects!
Pictures?
Love it. Sending to my handyman (son) so he can make it happen for my daughter.
List the challenges so others can learn???!!!
Such a fun and inspiring video! The step at [15:30] really stood out for me, it gave me so many new ideas. Keep it up!

I like that you have a normal set-up like the average person, it's more relatable and the clapping was funny mate, didn't mind at all.
Haha thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video… and the clapping lol
Yes, i like the normal set up....I can relate
The design and execution are flawless. You are an excellent carpenter.
Thank you very much!
I second that
I built one similar, my wife is short and she complained about the height and the exposed edge. I cut it down to 3 inch base and a added boxs springs . Good job keep going I like it

Thank you so much! And that's a great idea! So for there have been no injuries haha!
How do u round the corners
@@laughtillithurts4253 You can use a jigsaw if it's a large cut or some low grit sandpaper
For DYI and workshop enthusiasts where saws and drills roaring all the time, few claps should be totally fine.

Love the bed and side tables bro! Do you have a set of plans we can download and print or just the dimensions?
They are all jealous of your clapping skills. 👏👏👏👍 His Grandma was in the old Clapper commercials, he learned from the best.🙃

Lol I’m not opposed to the claps either don’t know what the big deal was
Hey man I’m inspired by how complex this build is but how simple you carried it through the video . Awesome work hope I can pull this off one day
Awesome work! It made me consider building one. Next video, maybe edit out the "Let's get to it 👏" 😅. But seriously, congrats, it is a very minimalistic and modern bed and I love it.
Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words! And yes, I edited out most of the “let’s get to it” from my other videos haha
This is a great tutorial. My daughter and I are going to attempt to duplicate for a full size mattress. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! And good luck with the project!
Wow you are very talented and I love how you take the time to make sure everything looks just so!!!
Can't wait to see the side drawers. Well done!!!

Just a tip; when ripping boards on a table saw, keep the bigger piece against the guide. You had it switched in the beginning. It can be a safety hazard.
Yeah good tip! My small contractors saw doesn't have much width so I had to do it the other way round but I try be careful when I need to do it
Did it at the end as well. A lot more stable by having the larger stock between the fence and blade.
Brilliant! Did you fix it to the wall??? I was wonodering if it doesn't flip on the sides. Thank you
Yep! As I showed in the video, it is screwed into the wall 😁
I can just imagine walking to the bed and me, never looking where I'm going, smashing my shins on those nice sharp wood corners.
Looks really cool though
That’s what the motion sensor leds are for 😂
Looking amazing, what are the measurements that you are using, are looking to do one by my self 🙏🏻
Thanks! All the info is in the description 😁
Great video! I’m planning on making a similar one this week with one minor change…lowering the 2x2’s by 1-3/4 and not using the 3 top 2x4’s.
Thank you and that’s awesome! Good luck with the build!
Is your purpose for lowering to give the mattress more of a place to fall into? If so, I was thinking the same
Yes Sir! Amazing! Can you please let me know the measurements for a Kink size? I want to build it and I am at the store and realize this is for a Queen size…
Thank you! I believe a king is 16” wider than a queen and the same length. So just add 16” to the width of my measurements in the description

How many board feet of lumber was used?
@@charlesmueller2160 I bought 6 8' 2x8s
How many hours on average to build this bed from beginning to them including the painting and staining and trim
I would estimate about 25 hours
I clap too . Keep doing you !
Guess I’m not the only one haha! Thanks!
Brilliantly build. Is it ok to ask what guage nail gun you used for head board
I used a pin nailer which is 23 gauge but 18 gauge brad nails would also work
Best bed you got man, I got the same similar bed lol 15 yrs ago my uncle did it for my birthday gift
And all the drowers for clothes are in the walls

Well done, really nice build.
The only annoying part is the clapping at the end of every clip.
Thank you! And agreed haha! Trying to cut down on it. It is a really bad habit lol
what is the measurement on the mattres. really nice job, and great video. thank you
Thank you! It's a queen size mattress so it's 60" x 80". Hope that helps!

That one you made what size mattress was it for
Would love to get the measurements I would love to do that as a present for the wife
This is for a queen size bed and all the dimensions are in the description!
First thing, That looks amazing man! Last thing, Do you remember how much this costed you? Like after everything was said and done, How much roughly?
So it's not really floating...right?

Man that is really nice. I may try this to surprise my wife, thank you sir.
Thank you and go for it!
I love this and might even try it myself one day!👌🏾
Thank you, please give it a try!
@@GoldenKeyDesign I will soon, once I buy my place. Have a blessed day 😉🙏🏾
Looks amazing.. think ill do it.. not sure if I want draws under the bed though 🤔 thanks for the great vid
Thanks! That would be a great addition 😁
Amazing build! I was wondering if the measurements would be different for a Full Size Bed?
So this is for a queen and a full is 6" narrower and 5" shorter. Therefore I would take my dimensions in the description and subtract those measurements from the box sizes. Hope that helps!
This is criminality.. Wow. Awesome and lovely. Good work brother
Thank you so much! Really means a lot 👊 Glad you enjoyed the video!
You had me til all those claps.
👏
on god, so funny
You think a little more height to the inside base box would enhance the floating effect? Think those were 2 x 8’s correct? Maybe 2 x 10’s would look better
Good idea, but you gotta be careful if you raise the bed up higher. Yes, I did you use 2x8s, but if I went any higher, you would be able to see the lower box when looking at the bed which defeats the floating effect. Every room is a bit different and the angle you look at the bed changes but I found that 2x8s worked perfectly and raised the bed to a comfortable height to get in and out of. Hope that helps!
Stop clapping 👏😂😂
I'm thrilled with your tutorial... Humbly, can you assist me with the dimensions for 2 in 1 bed. Thanks in advance
Thank you! You can modify the dimensions in the description 😁
I came across your channel. I love your content but that clapping transition is painful on my ears as I listen with buds in.
I know, I’m trying to limit the clapping moving forward! Thanks for the feedback
Same here..
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this Video 🤍 Would LOVE to see if building a KING SIZE would require a different build on the lower boards… As in adding more boards rather than just longer boards
Thank you! A king would just require building a slightly wider bottom box
Where did you get the different size boards for the headboard? That’s my last piece of this puzzle, amazing job! Thanks brother!
Thank you! Those boards came from the demo of our kitchen. They are cedar boards that have aged with the house over the past 40 or so years. They have a really nice patina. You could try to recreate them by buying new cedar and make it look reclaimed by staining it and roughing it up a bit. Hope that helps! Good luck with the build!
STOP. FUKING. CLAPPING.
I know, I know...
Working on it!
@@GoldenKeyDesign NEVER. STOP. CLAPPING!!!!
Any possibility of having a list of materials required?
There’s a cut list in the description with what dimension of lumber is needed for each piece. Hope that helps!
@@GoldenKeyDesign Thank you, noted
This is really amazing.. But i Have a question how much height this bed?
Thank you! The frame is about 15” high since I used 2 2x8s and the mattress is about 11” so a total of 26”. I find the height to be perfect as my feet comfortably touch the ground when sitting on the bed 😁
You clapped your way to a million views bru😎👏🏼 we learn and grow if we dare to fail✌🏼❤️
Thanks 😁
Great outcome, plz give measurements, thanks
Thanks! Check the description
Pretty sweet man, ever thought of doing a project with no nails/screws, only wooden pegs?
Thank you! And I haven’t thought of that but it would be a cool idea!
I have a suggestion for you:-
Make that headboard 1-2 inches away from the wall and put some lights back there so it will look like that board is not touching the wall just like the bed is not touching the ground.
Btw, I really appreciate it!
Nice build. I would round the corners though. Those corners are shin high and will give you a good whack!
Great design and pretty simple. Can you tell me what sort of wood you used for the headboard? Hard to tell if you purchased those boards that color or if it’s just standard fur/pine with an added finish. I’ll need to modify a bit for a Cal King. Thanks again for sharing. Great job.
Thank you! This is cedar that we reused from our kitchen demo. You won’t be able to find it in stores. Some of the big box stores sell legitimate reclaimed barn wood online though. It can be quite pricey however
What is the material used to build the bed is it plyboard or any wood please tell in details
I go through all the details in the video and have a full cut list in the description 😁
Can u add exactly how many of each board to buy in your description I see u say which 1s but can u tell us how many of each
You know so I won’t have to go back thru the video stopping and started counting the boards
Just replied to your other comment 😁
Thanks! My son and I are building it!. Great video! How did you come up with the base dimensions? I’m asking for 2 reasons. 1. we want to convert to a size full bed and I see from your reply regarding a size Full that to narrow down to 6 in and shorten the length by 5 inches. 2. I don’t want the base to be too tippy (Like to limit screws or not screw bed into wall at all). Thanks!
Hi
I really like your work. Do you have any plans, supplies instructions for the floating bed. Thanks
Thank you! I have the dimensions listed in the description!
really like the Sensor lighting idea you installed, great idea for when you get up at night an don't want to wake anyone up
My thoughts exactly! It really comes in handy!
Thank you for this video
(2x8s) in Inch or or what?
Yep, I used 2x8s. Dimensions are in the description
I suggest you to cover the gaps between the small and the big box in order to avoid dust and dirth stuffs!!
Good idea!
Cool bro! How much the height of smaller box, height larger box, and height of bed
Hey buddy. What would be the measurements of the two boxes? I’m looking to a twin maybe a queen but at least a twin. So what would be the the measurements of the two boxes? I also wasn’t looking to have such an edge on the sides.
All the measurements are in the description 😁
Ready to start building over here!
How big of a base would you suggest for a king size mattress? Looking forward to building this. Thanks 🙏
A king mattress is 16” wider than a queen and the same length. So I would build the smaller box the same dimensions as listed in the description but widen it by 16” so it has the same amount of cantilever. Hope that helps!
The 3-side screwing mode gave more security to the center of the bed❤❤❤
I'd really love to do one for my self could you assist me with the best measurement for a 5by6 bed
You can adjust the measurements in the description 😁
Really keen to try this! Is they’re a cut list by any chance to make it easier for a queen bed frame haha! Thanks all the way from Aussie
All the dimensions are in the description 😁
I see the measurements for the top cap is 2x4. But is that the measurements before u cut 1 1/2" off the lip or after?
The measurements in the description are after I cut the lip off
