DIY 5 Minutes Bed Frame

Easy DIY Wooden Bed Frame Platform made from framing lumber.
In this 5 minute video im showing you how i made my DIY bed frame, all from framing lumber and pocket screws. You can follow my full step by step tutorial on my instructable, i have included several plans from my sketch up build.
www.instructables.com/id/DIY-...
I bought all my material at my local hardware store, you can find the list on my instructable.
This king size bed platform is very solid, and the reason i used pocket screw is i can dissasemble it if i move.

Hi. What would you do if you wanted to make the bed higher off of the floor

[@julietellis4891]

Love it up

[@tylerdurden5150]

Combien ça coûterait les matériaux à peu près

[@worldwidegamer1983]

why not juse use 4x skids for free and ad some fancy on the outside and save 90% of cost

[@elmontro]

I’ve been working with wood my whole life, I can attest this is one solid piece. The info is clear and to the point. Very well done, sir.

[@Demigod69x]

That’s what she said

[@Lyve613official]

What size bed did you make this for

[@ontheroadwithjames954]

I don't work with wood, never have but along the inside rails for the straps, could you not set the straps to sit flush with the top edge of rails, connecting the straps together along the underside so you can lift all the straps at same time to clean underneath the bed, by sitting them inside the rails you wouldn't need to screw them down, or you could possibly put a hinge on the frame for the strap?

[@benarneld]

Man, this bed looks amazing. I love the sturdiness of it. It looks simple, yet very beautiful. You definitely picked the right color. That's definitely the bed I wana make.

[@Ben-mx1ip]

This is incredibly sturdy compared to what is minimally required. Looks amazing

[@RYANMAKO]

Wow looks incredible! My wife and I are looking to do something like this. So thanks for all of the tips and tricks.

[@g.d2450]

I would have had the slats sitting 2 inches lower into the frame so the mattress doesn't slide about, but very well made bed overall

[@mridahokrieg6114]

Same! But still a great build overall!

[@heartanddagger5861]

I agree..great tip.

I’m doing this frame with a few modifications as this and the head board with 3 boards

[@hunternovak4571]

Any idea how I would convert these exact plans into a queen bed, didn't realize this was for a king until I bought all the supplies

[@dye182]

Hunter Novak look up the measurement for a queen and then a king mattress and the numbers will tell between that and his specs on the king frame

[@chrisd1828]

Rounding over the edges and corners of the frame with a router will make it more forgiving when you bump into it.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

It hasn't happened to me yet, but it has happened to my wife several times 😅 Ouch

[@daniellearcher2280]

Beautiful!

[@MrAmanW]

It will definitely take me more than 5 minutes, but I will be making this bed for sure. Excellent work.

The moment you accidentally kick the corner of the bed is the moment you fall in love with these kind of the bed design

[@ancientpersianempire]

lol i totally agree with you on the other hand i have heard this type of bed has its advantages during exercise events with the ladies !

[@jamalfadesemall9275]

You’re not wrong.

[@xMADBUTTERFLYx]

I want to do this now but I personally would lower the support a little bit just to get the mattress to sink in maybe 1 - 2 inches. What do you think?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

It was going to go this way at first, and changed my mind but it's still not to late. I tough it would be easier to changer the sheets if the mattress was flush but i don't think it changed anything. So you could lower the 2x4 and the joist hangers by 1 or 2 inches. I think it will look slightly better! 🙂

[@sostrongineedmoreofyourmon974]

xoHiba xo my bed is just like this one where the mattress is flush to the frame. Way simpler to change sheets. Only time the mattress moves is during strenuous extracurricular activities

[@dalechell1085]

totaly agree. its horrible that you can see the slats.

[@cocacolatgv]

I agree with you, I’m currently building mine and setting it 1.5 inches deep to hide the slats. That’s basically the depth of top horizontal piece. Lucky for me my mattress is light though so my wife won’t have trouble changing the sheets lol

[@stillsearchingforsanity4332]

@@dalechell1085 Could one not reduce the frame size slightly but keep everything at the same level? Then you've got the mattress mostly over the slats but partly over the frame to ensure slats will not be visible. Maybe 1" overlap of mattress on frame.

Here's everything you need to know about bed frame dimensions www.dimensions.guide/collection/bed-frames

[@tankq888]

New Subscriber. Could you tell me how much the total cost of this project?

[@cocacolatgv]

Thanh Quach I recently bought the supplies to make the frame, not the headboard (I have a different design in mind) and spent roughly $80 on the wood. It all depends on the quality of it. He (and I) used framing lumber which is cheaper but you need to pick the straightest pieces to make the job easier.

[@mysteryguest9555]

Good luck with moving that out of that bedroom when you move. 😂

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Not really, in fact there is no glue in this build, only pocket screws. Sure you will need to remove the lattice that i nailed on the top, but other than that its 5 big pieces, the 4 sides and the headboard. I think i would take me half an hour to dissasemble it. Remember that its regular wood screw that connect each side to each other, so if you move every years maybe the screws will become loose but it my case i dont plan to move alot. In case screws would become loose, you could add metal corner inside the frame. 👍😄

[@jeancarlosgomezbueno6673]

I was thinking the same thing, also the whole thing is probable really heavy

[@djbenjiblue7788]

Me and my father in law are building this bedframe right now with a few modifications: Using the advice in the comments, the length of the boards are being adjusted and the slats sunken in about an inch so the mattress sits in place instead of directly on top. We’re also cutting out parts of both sides of the headboard to fit in an outlet/usb charger hub. Using a hole saw, we drilled through the headboard underneath the platform on either side so LED light strips can be routed through and assembled underneath to give it an ambient glow. Awesome video!
