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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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
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
That's a phenomenal frame as is! My only change would be to add a headboard (my bed will be up against a window, and I don't want the top of my head seen through it.
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)
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!
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.

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
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.
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.
Let's not forget the screws the multiple hours of initially setting it up now he's redoing it adding more lumber this guy is well beyond a couple hundred dollars. And it weighs a shit load. He then complains about mold and humidity but doesnt seal the wood...
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
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
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.
They make stuff to purposefully break so that you keep spending money replacing it. Unless you make it yourself it's almost impossible to find something that will last.
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
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.
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!
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 😂
Good man. I appreciate people saving money, being creative, and doing stuff with 2x4s. not necessarily in that order.
I want that frame just as it is. great job!

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
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?
@@woodenparadise777around 200 usd
Led strip underneath look cool 👌🏻
The frame is awesome!
Not to mention a thoughtful remedy.
I think you did an amazing job with that frame and you should keep it
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.

Depends on the bed. Manufacturers have different specs for the slat spacing. My Endy requires maximum 3inch gap.
Sweet! I've made so many bed frames myself, I love it ❤

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.
“We need a way to keep the mattress off the floor”….

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

Thank God you were there
Need to change direction of boards not flat but up they will provide more support
I think it's a beautiful bed frame the way it is.
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.
Excellent job well done 💯😊
I count about 120$ in lumber a good steel frame is like 50 bucks
Let's not forget the screws the multiple hours of initially setting it up now he's redoing it adding more lumber this guy is well beyond a couple hundred dollars. And it weighs a shit load. He then complains about mold and humidity but doesnt seal the wood...
Bet, that is such a simple design and it's easily customizable...Noice
At today's outrageous lumber prices, why not just get an inexpensive metal bedframe?
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
very nice! but I like KYDINS bed frame metal. it's more sturdy and noise free

Metal frame + plywood, Amazon costs 100 bucks, plywood 30. Saved you 5 hours.
This is taking tight arse to a whole new level!
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
