There's like less than 20 2x4 at 4$ each give or take. It's basically 80$ but way sturdier than Ikea frames and all done bed frame 🤷 plus it's gonna last a lot longer
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
😂😂😂😂 how most of the world sleeps. Europeans have low platform beds, and majority of the rest of the world has mattresses or mats on the floor. High beds are the oddity😂😂😂😂guessing you are American 😢
@@sd1660 it's just as funny, amusing, and entertaining to see how someone is so tickled by someone's nationality. Enjoy, as am I. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I, too, have slept on the floor.😅😅😅😅😅 I'm guessing you're an ass 😂😂😂😂😂😂 takes one to know one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
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!
It’s a butt-jointed box with a bunch of pocket screwed cross members. The feet are I-beams made of 2x4s. I think you can figure them out if you gaze at them for about 10 seconds
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.
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
I was thinking the same thing. It probably depends on the price of wood in each country, but in my case it would cost me less to buy a ready-made bed frame than to build one out of wood.

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)
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.
I literally just posted a comment breaking down the cost of building this bed frame. It makes absolutely no sense factoring in the weight and then he complains about mold and humidity but doesn't even seal the wood this guy is just trying to flex in front of his wife.
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
Said this in another thread, but sometimes when you’re DIYing something, you’re paying for the learning experience and the fun of it, not just the materials.
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.
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 😊

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

Mold is delicious
Yeah you need a carpet under it and a CM of space cant hurt.
Bassicly its the lack of the fact nobody sells a ground bed 😂
That bed frame must weigh a bunch! There’s enough wood to frame another wall.
More like frame 2 walls.
How much does such a bed cost in your country in a store?
The hardwood floor is gorgeous.
That's a HEAVY bedframe
That's a firm bedframe that won't equal, won't break, and will last a lifetime
Those last for decades
Might be cheaper to purchase a basic bedframe.
And easier, could be out making money in the time he wasted making it.

Humans aren't made to sleep on springs.

@@EugeneDenoes Which would explain the shit ergos. What's your point?
ALWAYS nice to see the man and woman working together
Yeah, but was I the only one bugged by him constantly saying "I" when clearly they were both doing it?
@monicac8376 he most likely builds most of it himself and she helps with small parts
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
Yeah but every other bed in the world has the slats going in the other direction, no idea why they built this one the wrong way.
The frame is awesome!
Not to mention a thoughtful remedy.
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!
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.
Depends on the bed. Manufacturers have different specs for the slat spacing. My Endy requires maximum 3inch gap.
“We need a way to keep the mattress off the floor”….
You mean….like buying a bed frame??
That's a great-looking frame, you did a great job
Good man. I appreciate people saving money, being creative, and doing stuff with 2x4s. not necessarily in that order.
Sweet! I've made so many bed frames myself, I love it ❤
Id use that frame for years, it's perfectly fine imo
just shared all the specs/dimensions on insta!

Love that bed!!❤❤❤❤
Very clever, well done 👍
At today's outrageous lumber prices, why not just get an inexpensive metal bedframe?
This is brilliant all you might need it a nice headband detail for styling purposes. Which you probably would make 😊
I would love to have a bed frame like that one, where I am from wood frames are considered a luxry
You did a great job in my opinion
That's a solid bedframe, awesome
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
Some people love the classic pine look :)
wood racist
That looks like a sturdy bed frame to me.
nice designs good reinforcement
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.
Love it great job that’s a keeper

Bet, that is such a simple design and it's easily customizable...Noice
Looks luxurious and naturel! LOVE it!
Perfect Craftsmanship . . I would have done the same by adding the extras where needed . .
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.
Hi can you make a video on how you made this from beginning to end?
Are you serious… dude just put some 2x4 together 😅
It’s a butt-jointed box with a bunch of pocket screwed cross members. The feet are I-beams made of 2x4s. I think you can figure them out if you gaze at them for about 10 seconds
Nice job!
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.
I shared plans on my Instagram if you ever need the dimensions!
Thank God you were there
It’s very good looking! 👍
Good job stretching the original frame. with minimal rework!
Very Nice!
Spacing for platform frame should be within 2.5" to 4" inches Max to be within most Warranty Coverages
Good thinking!!!
Led strip underneath look cool 👌🏻
Good job
I wish I was able to do this 😢
Why? For the price of raw wood you could probably buy two beds. It's called economy of scale.
Just buy some wood and a drill.
very nice! but I like KYDINS bed frame metal. it's more sturdy and noise free
This is taking tight arse to a whole new level!
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.

Nice to see your friend help you.
Really helpful to see your design revisions. Nice and solid.

Using 2×4s to build furniture is wild in my opinion but hey to each is own
I think it's a beautiful bed frame the way it is.
This guy definitely a politician. Spent all that time and money on something that could of been solved at half the time and money 😅
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
Love it😍
Excellent job well done 💯😊

Using large cardboard sheets helps with the slight sag between the runners.
So handy
Good idea to change the frame.

Big up from Scotland
Nice job❤❤❤❤
Mate. Solid bed with wires that pull it to the roof with a small electric winch.

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

Good better than slants
