@GTA_CITY Thanks so much for your time and feedback here GTA. This is what makes us better. I haven't had the chance to apply a finish on there, but I'm excited to see what it's going to look like now! I appreciate your support here my friend, I mean it 🤝

@Foxtrot-Uniform-CharlieKilo Hey Fox, I know it may look deceiving but the floating bed frame has lights too. I'm sure you can understand, but once I saw the shoes, I *had* to have them! Thanks for stopping by and supporting this channel my friend, I mean it 🤝 Merry Christmas 2024!

@@CurtisMadeIt nah i get you. merry Christmas BTW🙂

@Foxtrot-Uniform -CharlieKilo thanks brother 🎄

@SadieSeldon Hey Sadie, this is my personal bed frame and it's a queen size. Make sure to check the videos section of this channel to see the other two videos for this queen size floating bed frame build. Thanks for stopping by and supporting what I'm doing here, I really appreciate it 🤝

@charismatic9467 Hey again C, *untreated* yellow pine. I'm in Texas, USA so you may have different lumber available, but you don't need anything super fancy or expensive...at least for your first floating bed frame build...let's learn how to build it first and then you can get the high dollar stuff if you want to 🤣. White/yellow pine is good, just make sure it is untreated. 2x6/8/10 for the base is going to depend on you...if you want storage under there(gonna put bins or something under there to store your Dallas Cowboys fan gear for 9 months out of the year like me), i'd recommend a 2x8 or 2x10 for the base. Keep in mind that that will make the deck of your mattress taller once your bed frame is done though. ...from your comment on the origional queen size floating bed frame video, you may not have a box spring so you wont be as sensative to the overall height of the bed frame once it is assembled. My deck is 30.75" off the ground and is a little bit tall for me, but i've gotten used to it. Sooner or later when i have some time, i'll modify it again...the fourth time...to make it sit a little bit lower so i don't become airborne every morning when i get up just trying to get out the bed. Cover the deck of your frame with a fitted sheet like i did in the full size video(awesome editing when i threw it and fitted it on there, should give you a good laugh) for an easy, cheap, quick cover for your frame. Let me know how else i can help, apologies for the length here.

@@CurtisMadeIt Hey man thanks for replying to both comments and helping me out. Ok yeah nice I'm going for as cheap as possible, just wasn't sure about wood type as I know nothing about it haha. Thanks to your reply I've decided I'm probably going to go with 2x6 for base, I still need to make some measurements though. You crack me up with going airborne every morning lmao. Also your idea about the plywood with drilled holes is genius. I was worried about the mattress getting air but that's the perfect solution. I'm pumped to build this, it will be my first woodworking project, my trade is in landscaping so I'm more at home amongst the bushes and mulch beds haha. Gives me an excuse to use the drill I bought last year and bother my Dad to use his saw haha. Thanks for all the help and congrats on all the views man you deserve it!

@charismatic9467 You bet. I don't have much free time any more because of my day job, customer builds, and other life obligations, but I do take the time when I have it to talk to the people that come by here and talk to me. It's a really wonderful blessing in my life. I feel like I'm doing something good and helping people's mental health in some capacity so I feel very blessed very often to be in this position. Sounds like you are developing more of plan which is good, you want to know all your steps before you even get started if you want everything to go smoothly. Airborne 🤣 haha, yeah for real...it's a little baby jump to get outta there in the morning. Plywood with holes was from another subscriber...yet another sub has suggested cedar fence pickets spaced slightly apart. I didn't even really know or consider the mattress being able to breathe being a thing until someone asked about not having a box spring and then someone recommended the plywood with holes. I'm glad this is your first woodworking project, this is a good one! You are gonna be thrilled when you get finished, I'm certain of it. This is going to be a big boost for you, I can feel it in my blood as I type this message. I'm excited for you. You are gonna do just fine. Let me know if you have any questions. Again, I very much appreciate your support here. Take care C, we'll talk again down the road my friend 🫡

@@CurtisMadeIt That's so awesome, must be cool to talk to so many different people all with the same goal in mind. Yet again, you saved me big time because if you didn't tell me to get untreated I wouldn't know that, I would have gotten pressure treated thinking that was better haha. Only other question I would bother you with at this point would be if you know what SPF lumber is. I was going to check out some local lumber yards but right now I just looked at my local Home Depot and they don't have any untreated pine, like you said earlier it's probably regional, I'm in the NE. It looks like Premium SPF is available in 2x6x10s and it's untreated, says it's like a blend or something, is that what I'm looking for?

@charismatic9467 that SPF means Spruce/Pine/Fir. Those are three different types of softwood trees that are interchangeable for construction grade lumber. That untreated SPF is gonna be what you want for this project. Take the time to select boards that are as straight as possible…sometimes they get kinda wonky at HD and L’s home improvement stores. What else you got for me C?

@charismatic9467 Hey C, thanks for your compliment. This was the first video i ever made for youtube and i got extraordinarily lucky that it turned out to be a banger. In the absence of a box spring, you can use either plywood with holes drilled in it or cedar fence pickets spaced slightly apart to support the mattress. The holes/spaces are to allow the mattress to breathe. I hope this helps and i encourage you to ask me any other questions you may have. I see you just left a comment on the king size floating bed frame video so i'm gonna reply to that one right now. I very much appreciate your time and support here on this channel my friend, i mean it, thank you 🤝

@IbrahimAk_217 Merhaba İbrahim, bu kanalda yayınlanan tam boyutlu yüzer yatak çerçevesi videosu hakkındaki diğer yorumunuzu yanıtladım. Bu yorumda ne sorduğunu anlamakta zorlanıyorum. Bilgisayarım Türkçe konuşuyor gibi göründüğünü algılayabiliyor ama söylemeye çalıştığını düşündüğüm şeyi doğru çevirmiyor. Benimle Instagram Curtis_Made_it üzerinden iletişime geçebilir misin? Sanırım orada bir konuşma yapmamız daha kolay olabilir. Umarım güvenli bir yapı olur dostum, zaman ayırdığınız için teşekkürler.

@@CurtisMadeIt First of all, thank you for taking the time to answer. Yes, I wrote in Turkish, but it may not have been translated because I did not comply with the spelling rules. The question I asked was the aspect ratios of the bed and can I know the aspect ratios of the platform underneath it in meters?

@IbrahimAk_217 You bet my homie, I'm going to take the time to talk to the people that want to talk to me, even in a different language. I'll be glad to provide all the measurements for you in any unit that you would like them in. I'm not sure what these aspect ratios that you speak of are because that sounds like something that might make my brain hurt 🤯 but i can help you get to where you are going if you want to build one of these for yourself. Are you on instagram? I'm Curtis_Made_it. If not, that's okay. I'm going to need to know the overall dimensions of your mattress and the size(thickness) of the lumber that you are going to be using to build your bed frame. Once i have those two pieces of information, your bed frame may as well have been built already. Let's make it happen. Talk again soon Ibrahim 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt Yes, I use Instagram and I will follow you. I will send you the necessary bed length and timber thickness information from there. Thank you very much in advance for helping me.

@IbrahimAk_217 Awesome my friend, i'll go take a look at your message and see what we can figure out. Thanks again my friend 🤝

@Incasemymemoryfailsme And i appreciate your time and support here equally as much as you appreciate this video. Let me know if you have any questions at all, i'll be right there. Be careful, have a safe build, thank you 🤝

@Fjord66 Yep, I did this in the Subscriber build video for Erin from California. Instead of making one large base box, i just built a smaller box and used some very legit mending braces to secure a foot board to the frame joists. This left the storage openings going to the sides instead of the feet. This was a first for me on so many levels but it turned out fantastic. i made a wonderful lifelong friend and i got to see Sequoia National Forrest(included quite a lot of this footage in that video posted here on youtube). Take a look at that video if you'd like and then let me know what questions you have. I'll do my best to try and help you modify your build to accommodate your needs. I appreciate your time and support here, i mean it 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt Honestly your builds and videos are incredible and incredibly helpful - as is this response. Thank you !!! seriously appreciate you

@andrewrichardson6496 Hey Andrew, yes, i think you may be asking too much. 🤣 Just kidding...absolutely yes, this frame can be modified to include storage in the base. I've actually already done this on other sizes/versions of this floating bed frame and made videos that are already posted on this channel! Check out the videos/content section here on this channel and the king size floating bed frame is a good example of how to change it to include storage. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need any help modifying your frame. Thanks for your time and support here my friend, i mean it 🤝

@CurtisMadeIt thanks I'll be sure to keep watching!

@andrewrichardson6496 Thanks homie, talk again down the road 😎

@briancampbell5127 Hey Bee-Rye, thanks for stopping by. I built this king size floating bed frame with the headboard modification so i could add it on later, which i ended up doing and making a video for that is posted here on this channel. If you arent adding a headboard, you don't need that extra five and a half inches at the head area. If you build it like this, the headboard of the base and the frame will be stacked on top on each other vertically and will be flush with the wall with no space for animals to get back there, hopefully eliminatiing your concern. 1x12's around the underside of the perimiter of the frame will keep em out of the base area as well. Does this help? Let me know what other questions you have and i'll be right there. Thanks for your time and support on this channel my friend, i mean it 🤝

@getonup1 Hey G, you've got a couple of options if you don't have a box spring. Other viewers on this channel have recommended either plywood with holes drilled it in or cedar fence pickets spaced slightly apart to support the mattress. The holes or spaces are to allow the mattress to 'breathe'. ...I'll be honest with you, i didn't know that that was a thing...allowing the mattress to breathe, but it does seem to make sense so that's what i'll recommend. I hope this helps and please feel free to ask me any other questions you may have. Thanks for stopping by and supporting this channel my friend, i mean it 🤝

@NotAssualt Hey there NA, apologies for the delay in my reply. Hit that at symbol @ and smash the channel name up to it CurtisMadeIt followed by a space and then your reply...that will tag me so i get a notification of your reply(do this always when you are on youtube if you want the channel creator to see your comment). For the twin XL...I'm sure you could but you wouldn't be able to hide the base as well...it wouldn't really look like it is floating like the other sizes posted on this channel. This twin size isn't as stable as i'd like for it to be, but once it is loaded up with a mattress and box spring, i'm sure it is a lot better. *MANY, MANY* people have requested a twin XL but i havn't tried it yet...i'm running out of space in my tiny apartment storing all these bed frames that i've built for youtube 🤦‍♂️ Let me know what other questions you have.

@mahliyahshipley958 Hey Mahliyah, you have a very unique name! Happy Thanksgiving 2024! I can definitely help you with this. So, you've obviously seen the king size floating bed frame video because that's where you've left this comment. If you check the videos section of this channel, you will see that I have already posted a video for a king size headboard. There is also a different style of headboard(for the queen size) that can be retro-fitted to work with the king size if you like that one more. I've got blueprints available for all the floating bed frames that I've built for this channel as well. As far as the canopy goes, I haven't designed or built anything like this before, but I'm sure it could pretty easily be done in some kind of way. Let me know if you are married to the canopy or if you are going to be happy with just the headboard. Thanks for your time and support on this channel, I mean it 🤝

@mahliyahshipley958 A list to bring with you: yes, we can do this too! We'll need to have the final design of your bed frame in mind so I can help with this, but it's totally doable. Let me know when we are getting started! Talk again soon.

@genahebert4 I'm sure there is a way it could be done, yes. I've had this question before but I haven't seen any floating bed frames on adjustable bases to this point that I can remember.

@SW-pm3ls Hey SW, yes, it would damage the mattress if you just lay it on the joists like that. You need a box spring, some plywood with holes drilled it in(to allow the mattress to breath), or some cedar fence pickets cut down and slightly spaced out(again, to allow the mattress to breathe) to properly support the mattress for any of the floating bed frames I've made videos for on this channel. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions at all. I very much appreciate you stopping by and supporting this channel my friend, I mean it 🤝

@@CurtisMadeIt my man I appreciate you. I’m gonna get the wood when I get off of work today along with those Samson strong ties. I’m gonna do the headboard another time, but I still wanna see how you do that so I’ll look for your video on that. I’m super excited to do that now for the 2 x 4 you put in place for the storage did you put a drawer underneath there or do you just use it for storage putting whatever you want underneath the bed like shoes or whatever. If I can get just the floating bed done, which I believe tomorrow tomorrow that would be amazing.

@@CurtisMadeIt how thick of a plywood would I need? Sorry I forgot to ask.

@@CurtisMadeIt I just finished the bed. It turned out great. I didn’t put the plywood on it yet, but I will next weekend. I’m heavier than you and I was able to walk around the edges without the bed fully tilting over with the mattress on it and boxspring it is solid as hell. This is the easiest and best one I’ve seen so far to do and the measurements were spot on. I just need to watch your video for the headboard which I’m probably gonna customize with all two by fours and no shells and something else.

@SW-pm3ls Apologies for the length...just now seeing your follow up messages. I see you've finished your build already but I'll still reply appropriately. I've since moved on to a more user friendly item to secure the base to the frame instead of the simpson strong ties. Those, quite obviously, still work just fine, but in the 'full' and 'twin' size floating bed frames, I went to 2" L-shaped corner brackets. They aren't much difference in price so you aren't missing much savings there...if you build another floating bed frame though, *definitely* switch to those brackets. Video for the king size headboard is posted on this channel, check it out and let me know what questions you have. The king size headboard doesn't have any storage to speak of, except for the floating shelves. The queen size style headboard *does* have some storage built in and that one can be retro-fitted for the king size. The king is pretty basic and the queen is a little more advanced, but if you take your time, you can make it happen. I just built that queen size(my personal bed frame) off the top of my head really, no plans or anything at all, just making cuts and coming up with something. For the storage, I'm not sure if you are talking about in the base area...if you are, you just leave the foot of the bed open and use that board that would have been at the foot straddled across the top of the joists in the base, set back ~2" from the end so that you have space for the last joist in the frame to straddle the end of the base there...I hope that makes sense. Then, I just purchased some oversized storage bins from amazon and I keep all my Dallas Cowboys fan gear in there for close to 9 months out of the year because we aren't ever gonna win another big one in my lifetime. I think I have those bins linked in...probably the Queen 3.0 build video...make sure and check the written descriptions of these videos on this channel too. I put more information in there for you guys. Again, apologies for the length here. I hope some of this helps.
