Right??? :)

Try this Thread maybe?? Then just build a normal bed.

How about a platform bed? Solid frame directly on the floor. And some nice built in drawers underneath like a captain’s bed…for storing underwear and stuff.

Build 2 sets of drawers with three drawers in each. Use ‘em on each side for the base. Lay plywood on ‘em and then yoru box springs and mattress on top of that.
Kinda like the old waterbeds used ta be.

+edit… Ok Joe, you old dumbass,,, READ the other comments FIRST.... THEN post!

I meant to say DItto what KelvinGrove said :-)

We’re still in a twenty year old waterbed.

Don’t bother with the drawers, you’ll probably not use them. Use the basic method of building a knockdown platform, it’s sturdy and will hold up to most hijinks!

Good Luck!

Have Fun!

Haha Joey! I’ve already got one of those! (not really)

Yeah, platform with sleigh headboard is my plan. I will get some stuff committed to paper and then maybe repost with some design pics.

Thanks everybody.

So I found this topic:

And that is pretty similar to what I had in mind. There is no way I’d try to do the sliding dovetails because of… skills.

Uh- but back to my original thought… Would this be squeeky or anything?

ben did you ever build this?

I have built several beds. My only advice as far as the no squeaking is to use bed bolts. All of the other available hardware for knock down frames will have some movement and therefore squeak. Also wax the ends of the bed rails before you assemble. This should cut down on any squeaking.
