Heavy duty DIY bed

We make a seriously heavy duty bed.
Suitable for years of 'service' ;)

Materials:

For the legs 6x4 inch fence posts. The length depends on how high you want the bed off the ground.
Side supports and the middle bracing are 4x2 inch, once again length depends on mattress sizes and I think US mattresses are differently sized to UK ones.
The top is just MDF sheet.

You will also need wood screws, we used decking screws as that's what we had. Oh and some wood glue.

Tools:

Circular Saw (really dangerous, you could cut all you fingers off)
Router (also really dangerous, 300000rpm spinning blade of death)
Chisel (sharp, could slice face off)
Drill/driver (you could fall and it stab you in the eye)
Electric Plane (will quickly remove skin to the bone)

We are not professionals. We do not know how to work any of the tools in videos. According to the comments, we should have actually died making that bed.

Man I closed my eyes with your fingers that close to the blade 🤣 but we'll done looks great 👍🏻

Please you guys, don't get your hands so close to the blade. This is a. Cool way to do it

Great vid. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm about to upcycle a double bed into a single loft bed and I like the way the bed frame fits on the posts. Thanks

I've slept on this exact bed and can confirm it is both solid and comfortable. Good job guys!

I loved the bed I just wish you had added a little more step by step and provided more explanation. I am seeking to build a bed for my daughter and would have loved to make this bed but since I am new to all this your video is too brief for my entry type skill level. I think you did an amazing job though!!

This is awesome.  I've been looking for a simple design just like this, but I think I would forgo the screws/glue, and use threaded inserts and bolts so it could be taken apart multiple times.  I would also make notches for slats instead of using a single piece of MDF.  Personally my idea bed would have this exact style, but functionally should be easy to take apart and move.

Trying to come up with A diy project for my daughter room. This video gives me hope. My 2 year old son absolutely love the music he decided to come over to me and start dancing and check out what I was watching.😀

Finally, I sturdy project! I’m tired of seeing beds and chairs built with pocket screws bearing weight! I’m 210! I need a bed I can rock around!!

You must drill many holes to desk under mattress because mattress need fresh air and be ventilated more than you have

Now this is something i want! If I paint it white and add a nice headboard, then i'd be all set! Great video! I'll send it to my dad and see if we can do it ourselves too!

[mztynah]

I made a smiliar design and definitely worth it, cost me around $40 and will probably last a lifetime. Thanks for the video :)

[chuy]

Really nice bed design by the way, great for under bed storage

This is brilliant, I think I'm going to shrink this design down for my camper. Just need to find some 6x4 posts. Nowhere seems to sell them.

[MrDJJozii]

Good, but make sure you drill a few holes in the bottom panel, so that mattress have good air circulation. Otherwise it could arise mold with some time ;)

[ambergillen]

Exactly what I was looking for! You made this super simple...Thank you so much!!

[jacquelynharris]

I was more than happy to search out this video-channel.I wished to thanks in your time for this glorious video!! I positively enjoying each little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you video post.

Oooh... 3:47 what a beautiful life with a simple bed.. :D

[santehamweightlosschalleng]

I recently slept on this actual bed, I can confirm it was very comfortable! Well done lads!

[cdbg]

in my opinion, the mdf don't allow the mattress get "breath"
i prefer put a ripped to support it
