- 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.

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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣mother-in-law huh? Classic🤣
Last place id want her
Mother-in-law under the bed😮😂
You definitely don't want a bed pushed up flush with a wall. You want some airflow to discourage mould growth.
@@carl8568What fucking mould grows in your house??
Mould is caused hy damp - not by a wooden bedframe
Jesus fucking Christ
Thankyou, I have made this bed and it's awesome. Extended the legs and made a headboard. Couldn't have done it without your video. 'It's Friday night and I'm having a beer' is now a standard quote in our house.
Thank you. I am going to make this bed frame. I've been looking at building plans and I like yours the best !!
This is the best king frame design that I’ve seen. Sleek modern lines. Simple and elegant construction. Great work!
Thanks Greg Greg

That is absolutely wonderful. Thanks. My wife just walked in and saw that, and guess what my next project is?
I am giving my other half his new project. He doesn’t know about it yet 😃
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.
Bless you 🙏
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.
Well done you
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
This video gave me the courage I needed to start wooden frame of the bed. Thank you.
This is exactly what I wanted but I wasn’t sure how to build it but now I do!
When a bed is made, your bed cover hangs down near the floor completely hiding your frame. When your asleep, you don't see your frame either. So I made my bed frame for under $100 using construction lumber. The trick is to get the longest planks of wood to where after your cuts are efficient. I used 2 long planks of 2X6s to complete the perimeter. I would miter the corners using a miter saw and draw it into itself using a cargo belt strap. Diagonal measurements were identical. Then I would mark for 4 holes and drill an 1/8" extended wood drill bit to be a pilot hole. Then I would make the primary drill for basic affordable pan head screws that don't split wood. Remember to save your all your saw dust. 4ea screws in each corner is only 16 screws. For the center column I used 2ea 2X4's and hanger ties and 16 drywall screws.
Now over the course of a few months, I stopped at a building site and asked one of the workers if I could pick through their wood scraps. He said, "knock yourself out". I found three partial sheets of 1/2" plywood that cover it perfectly and could be screwed down to the 2X4's and rails. The perimeter rails were cheap 2X2's. Dot's of glue every foot and a screw made for a rail much stronger than it needed to be. The legs were left over 2X6's. I made the bed high so I could make a big trundle
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!!!
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....
Down sizing and Using this plan for my grandbaby bed for our house for her visit ❤
Design engineer and many years ago taught joinery and cabinet making. This is by far the best instructional video I have ever come across.
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!
Excellent job, simple and easy
Best one I have seen yet, thanks for sharing this bed frame idea 👍
Wow! What a fantastic video! Such a great job! Love it!
The best part of this video was the mandated beer break. Cheers, mate!
Que maravilha! Linda cama, simples perfeita.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for , Justin. Job well done.
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 .
Nice! I think this will be the template for the frame I plan to build next month! Thanks!
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.
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.
Thanks very much Tawita 👍
Wow Exelent Work Done. Thank you for sharing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love it! ❤️
I am so going to build this bed!! Awesome work.
Magic, I will be starting a single bed next week - Really enjoyed your video, bed looks Great
Good work, I like the corner hooks for future undoing/moving
Very good presentation..simple to follow..thanks
Thanks for the great idea. I was thinking about buying a wood bed frame but I never thought about building my own.
LOVE-IT. I will try it really soon and come back with my results!
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🍻
Great stuff, really good to hear 👏
Class,the thing I bought was rubbish,nice Job
Wow the hook like brackets are really smart holy buckets!
Excellent demonstration with detailed instruction. I am thinking of using this tutorial to make an elevated dog bed so my dog can look out the window.
Beautiful work!! The bed frame looks great. Thanks for sharing.
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
Beautiful finish,i will make one myself.
Simple clean design & good info
we just built ours fallowing along. first proper bit of furniture we've ever built. cheers :)
Excellent work!
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.
Great looking forward to making one for myself as well 😀
You did a great job!!! I love how you plugged the screw heads and chiseled it flush. Could tell there was ever a hole
Thanks man. Close up you can see the plugs, but very unnoticeable from a small distance.
精彩的视频！，虽然我听不懂英文的解说，但制作步骤对于我来说是非常有帮助的！。感谢分享！
Me encanto tu video, he buscado en CZcams varios videos y sinceramente este es el mejor, super practico. Espero poder animarme hacerlo ya que me da miedo usar el taladro. Saludos desde Cali-Colombia (Sur América)
So helpful video. Thanks for guiding 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bravo, amazing work!
I needed one Queen size Beauful! ❤️
trabalho muito bom feito em casa parece que é moveis de loja - parabens -- são paulo -- brazil
Great Build!
Great job
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...
Very smart Job that you've done Justin.
Thank you
brillent job what a cool bed
Cool mate, loved it
Very informative, nice work.
Nice job man! That frame looks absolutely strong and sturdy, just what I need! Now ..... I need you to build one for me!? Great video! ThanQ
Thanks Man, appreciate it.
Great video, just what I needed to see, thank you
I’m about to buy some timber and make one myself. Great video
Great job 👌🏼👍🏼
Am planing building my own bed and I only though this was the way to do it good job 👍
nice! looks awesome
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
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
very nice, skillful
This was the best video! I looked at every CZcams 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!
Brilliant! Thanks Susan, glad it helped 😁
Good job done ✅
Hello My British Amigo!! I am a Latin man living in Canadá!!! I watched some other videos on CZcams 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
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).
Well done!!
Brilliant!!! Looks SOLID. Nice one JB!
Very good!!!
That is well explained sir.
5:50 I hope you meant "when you assemble it"..... 🤔 LOL!!!!!
I really love the simpicity of your design. 🤘😁
Well done Justin...clearly the best on CZcams DIY
Thank you 🙏
Great job buddy ❤️
great work thank you so much
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!
Nice job 👍
Awesome work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice job and beer breaks are essential
❤❤❤thank you for sharing you idea I am.inderd great full thank you
very good work
Hey thanks I like the way you build it I will build one for my wife.
Wonderful! And he is doing yoga too while at it:)
Well done
Excellent i wish i could do one for my cal king
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.
👍👍👍👍
Any pictures
very very good
I stumbled on this video after almost giving up , just about to make a bed for my daughter and this is the best video here.
Thank you so much.
fantastic
good idea dude♥️
So I made the same thing thanks for the video
Nice piece of work
Thank you! Cheers!
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 .
Very good vid.
I built this bed. It turned out great but I did add a couple elements. I added heavy-duty corner braces and spacers for the slats. I like to turn my mattress now and then and don’t want the slats to move.
Nice I like it
Great video man, thank you so much. I'll definitely build one for myself but I'll make it flush with the mattress, awesome
Thanks man 👍
