How to make your own wooden bed frame - Super King Size - DIY

Here's a real easy way to make your own bed base out of softwood timber.
This is a perfect solution to making the ideal bed base without spending hundreds of pounds.
In this project I am making a Super King Size bed, but this method can be used to make a single, small double, standard double, and King size bed.
You can do without the center slat support if you are going to make a single bed.
This DIY bed project is perfect for all skill levels, so whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just getting started, we've got you covered.

Thank you. I am going to make this bed frame. I've been looking at building plans and I like yours the best !!

[@fontybits]

Suggestions: Make the legs high enough to enable you to use the large area under the bed for storage, e.g. suitcases, mother-in-law, etc. Also, cut out a rebate on the bottom of 2 legs, to allow the bed to be pushed up flush with the wall & avoid hitting the skirting board.

[@stephenbernard4675]

🤣🤣🤣🤣mother-in-law huh? Classic🤣

[@PrettyGreenMonk]

Last place id want her

[@lyndamarthaak]

Mother-in-law under the bed😮😂

[@carl8568]

You definitely don't want a bed pushed up flush with a wall. You want some airflow to discourage mould growth.

[@brianmagicman3556]

​@@carl8568What fucking mould grows in your house?? Mould is caused hy damp - not by a wooden bedframe Jesus fucking Christ

[@James-ye7rp]

That is absolutely wonderful. Thanks. My wife just walked in and saw that, and guess what my next project is?

[@firestar7774]

I am giving my other half his new project. He doesn’t know about it yet 😃

[@littlesarahautism9787]

I can't thank you enough, you kept it basic simple and straight to the point I've watch over 20 videos and I've gotten an instant headache just watching them. I love this bed I can't wait to get started. . Thank you again, new subscribe.

[@JBTV]

Bless you 🙏

[@Username4512IsCool]

Just built this for a full-size mattress and it's great!! Thanks for the amazing video! It felt amazing to be able to build this by myself and not have to go out and buy one.

[@georgianwindow]

Well done you

[@gregvglover4476]

This is the best king frame design that I’ve seen. Sleek modern lines. Simple and elegant construction. Great work!

[@JBTV]

Thanks Greg Greg

This is exactly what I wanted but I wasn’t sure how to build it but now I do!

[@traceurernest2222]

I didnt even think about using hardware for the bed frame, usually all the videos that pop up are all joinery techniques that take a long time to prepare. This makes it much easier for people without the proper shop. Also liked the beer scene in it lol

[@mariavako]

Loving the option to disassemble and reassemble, mainly because people move, and it's far easier to move this heavy thing more quickly and safely. Thanks!!!

[@michaelaburt1195]

Nice! I think this will be the template for the frame I plan to build next month! Thanks!

[@jared7211]

Thanks for the great idea. I was thinking about buying a wood bed frame but I never thought about building my own.

[@dgibson2314]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for , Justin. Job well done.

[@Gstonesheat]

Best one I have seen yet, thanks for sharing this bed frame idea 👍

This video gave me the courage I needed to start wooden frame of the bed. Thank you.

[@moody1981]

Excellent job, simple and easy

[@maheendrannair9557]

I have watched many videos on DIY bed for a similar bed frame. I am fully satisfied with the design,it's making and the mode of presentation. One of the best designs I found in internet. Thanks for the simplest design. Nice job well done.

I’m another ‘bloke’ who likes to do his own stuff at home. I have to say, not only is this a fantastically helpful clip but you seem like a top man to boot. Thank you for your wisdom!

Thanks for the nice message

[@soukiallen1]

i have research all kinds of home made bed frames this is the nicest one i have seen and planing to approach my bed frame project like yours thank you....

[@mauricelee7299]

I am so going to build this bed!! Awesome work.

[@kirihandicraft5314]

This is great, learning from you is awesome, and what's good is that, now you can actually make your own king size bed. Cheers and can't wait to see your next videos.

[@JBTV]

Thanks very much Tawita 👍

I am going to scale it down for my dogs bed, fencing two of the four sides. This is a beautiful, simple, sturdy design. Thanks a lot!

The best part of this video was the mandated beer break. Cheers, mate!

[@msibekelwadlamini3307]

Great looking forward to making one for myself as well 😀

Quick , Simple & clean, most importantly , you are able to disassemble it, I'm going to make it with some slight alteration particularly taller legs for the headboard. Great video .

Thanks Man, appreciate it.

Simple clean design & good info

[@sunilkumarpvasudevan]

Thank you! The first time I saw a video where one can make a bedframe by themselves, without spending on costly machinery :) which is normally the case...

[@EEX97623]

Had this tutorial video and cut list tucked away for a few months. Just completed the bed frame build for EU king size, as per all the spec. It’s a solid beautiful bed frame! Plugged feet post counter sink holes, added a salvaged piece of maple as a headboard. Thanks so much Justin🍻

[@JBTV]

Great stuff, really good to hear 👏

[@isauraaortiz]

I needed one Queen size Beauful! ❤️

[@jelenajeca81]

Bravo, amazing work!

[@garryn123]

nice job. im thinking of adapting ur design to use IKEA slats. you could staple some 'tape' between the fixed slats to prevent non fixed ones from moving too much .

[@huevoneousmaximus2309]

Very informative, nice work.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Very nice construction. I will be making a bedframe soon, although not quite as big. I found your video very useful. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

[@berlindaarmijo9251]

Well done!!

[@annieholbrook2852]

Hi Justin, Just to say we followed your video, and have completed our double bed. Our local wood supplier was most helpful, when we told him what we were attempting. We chose to make the (head end) legs higher, at 39” (100mm), and the foot legs 20”(50mm). The upper legs we have included to horizontal bars, thus giving us a headboard. Comments so far have been positive, we tell them it was from your site. 👍👍👍👍

[@gailjohnson3544]

Any pictures

[@ronaldharris5562]

You did a great job!!! I love how you plugged the screw heads and chiseled it flush. Could tell there was ever a hole

[@JBTV]

Thanks man. Close up you can see the plugs, but very unnoticeable from a small distance.

[@rtangjang12]

That is well explained sir.

[@owenbooth6891]

Am planing building my own bed and I only though this was the way to do it good job 👍

I’m about to buy some timber and make one myself. Great video

[@makc150877]

Great job 👌🏼👍🏼

[@nicolerhodes3623]

Can the bed rail brackets be easily taken apart after the bed is built? It looked to me that the interior rail supports would block access to the brackets. It would be great to be able to partially disassemble the frame, since it would not fit through a doorway or down most staircases for future moves.

[@unnikrishnanviswanathan2602]

great work thank you so much

[@redsoundzzentertainment]

Great job

[@emmaauty2922]

This is good timing. With a little one who comes in and out of our bed when he struggles to sleep (teething!). We’re looking at super king! Would love to save some money if we can!

[@nowisconvenient]

Excellent i wish i could do one for my cal king

[@yousefshogify9658]

Good job done ✅

[@learnfrenchwithlego5507]

nice! looks awesome

[@romeorice583]

Maybe in the UK that’s a super king sized bed, but I can assure you that’s a Queen sized bed. Nice frame either way

[@suequinn4212]

I'm in Australia and that bed is bigger than our Queen. Our Queen is 1500mm wide, SK is apparently 1800mm wide. Our Queen size is the same as their King size, not Super King size tho

[@NalamPenu]

Great job buddy ❤️

[@kabeerjain11]

very nice, skillful

[@Marcel-ju2gy]

It's a great build with basic tools I would love to see a build of a rectangular bed-end Ottoman for this bed.

[@susanjeffay3851]

This was the best video! I looked at every KZbin for a bed that I can make and take apart when I don't need it in the mini school bus we have. Your explanation is the easiest for me to understand and Ive ordered those brackets from Amazon too, as I once had a bed with them- totally fits my need!

[@JBTV]

Brilliant! Thanks Susan, glad it helped 😁

I like the simple design and clean look. I was wondering if it would be best to use a hardwood for the posts.

[@steveprentice4513]

Well done

[@pennstater89ad]

Awesome job Mate!! I got a question, how far down are top of the support slats from the top of the frame, 1 inch, 2 inches? I'm wondering how much depth the foam mattress needs to sit in the frame to keep from sliding?? I'm building a twin size wooden bed frame.

[@rolandorivas9119]

Hello My British Amigo!! I am a Latin man living in Canadá!!! I watched some other videos on KZbin how to build the best and easiest bed frame. I was about to give up with someone else's design when your video came up!! I AM SO HAPPY!! I watched yours 'cause is THE BEST!!! my friend !! The easiest to put together and and take apart for moving purposes. Pretty looking clean frame and must have for sure nice aroma too. I don't like to copy-cat 100%, but pretty close..I will just make one small change in the little piece of wood that goes in the center from front and bottom of 2"×6" to hold/support the 2"×3" timber that hold the slots across. Congratulations I give you 100% ☺️👊👍Muchas Gracias🙏..Hasta Vista🙋AMIGO..!!SALUTES desde Alberta, Canadá

[@D3cyTH3r]

Hi Rolando, did you make this bed in the end? If so, could I ask what change you made to the little piece of wood? I feel like that is the only week spot in this design. It's basically a 1" strip of wood holding the 2"x3" (it's only as strong as it's weakest spot, and the screw is going to doing be most of the work).

[@zaidsharba3832]

very good work

[@Zerbijan]

Awesome work!

Thank you! Cheers!

Can I check how you are stopping the post edges from causing any damage to carpets / being too sharp?

[@martinkenny9384]

Nice piece of work

[@JBTV]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andyczech117]

Not too bad... When i was doing mine i decided that the best way of fixing all together is to use bolts and nuts not a screws. And also for this such a size of the bed it's stronger to let the side and front panels lying on the legs... Just my suggestion...

[@maya7376]

I just built this. I totally agree. The hinges I should have put on the corner posts. Currently the feels a little rocky. Although I think I need to reduce my height. I’m also going to secure it with L-brackets. Otherwise feels quite sturdy

[@MM-oq1lb]

Wonderful! And he is doing yoga too while at it:)

[@steveloo99]

I look the look and the simple design. Very cool. I'm hoping to build something very similar in April or May. When you set up the slat supports on the side beams, how much space did you leave between the end of the slat support and the bed bracket? It's hard to see in the video. How much space do you need to loosen off the bracket bolts in order to take the sides of the bed frame off? Also, how did you make the plugs to cover the screw holes? I know that it's possible to get plastic plugs from Home Depot but I have found it difficult to match up the colors and shades.

[@catmaster1001]

❤❤❤thank you for sharing you idea I am.inderd great full thank you

[@danielwrekly3921]

Nice job will make me one i will use 2 by 4 joist braket and instead of slats use plywood

[@nhlanhlazikalala3478]

Great video man, thank you so much. I'll definitely build one for myself but I'll make it flush with the mattress, awesome

[@JBTV]

Thanks man 👍
