im looking to diy this bed and i refuse to pay 275 for these parts alone. how?
these are the parts
have you tried turning it on and off again?
>>2989090How does the mattress stays in place?Buy flat bar steel, fold them and weld them if needed then paint.
Buy metal, then bend & weld it into those shapes.
>>2989090Wow what a shitty design. It's seriously held together with the ratchet straps?>>2989164If this mattress is sliding around this is the most bullshit bed. It looks like there is basically no ventilation to the bottom of the mattress because the boards are so wide. It's barely different from putting the mattress on the floor.
>>2989090Forget steel parts. Make whole thing out of wood.Pls excuse my chicken-scratch hand drawing.Dimension as needed for mattress. Suggest letting mattress hang an inch or two over frame or shins get beat up finding bed in the dark.
>>2989279I'll never understand the draw towards bed frames like this where there is supposed to be a bit of spring to it from all the small slats. My bed frame is made out of a solid 2x6 frame with 100% covered 3/4 plywood deck. It's completely solid with basically no give, and it works absolute wonders with the cheap ass 6in foam mattress I have. I'm not even a firm guy, I side sleep and prefer soft mattresses but something about the setup just works
>>2989289its for airflow through the mattress, not springiness
>>2989164is mattress on floor bad? my mattress has always been on the floor.
>>2989324If on a basement concrete floor, the next morning it's gonna look like you peed you bed then flipped the mattress.
>>2989289You're gonna get mold under your mattress within 5 years and you will have to throw it out, and the plywood as well. To avert this you should do this now: cut slots or drill a bunch of large regular holes into the plywood leaving no unventilated area of mattress -plywood interface larger than about 3"
>>2989164Double sided tape.
>>2989306This, slats are less springy than having a box spring, but it's also better for your back.
>>2989324>>2989337sometimes mattresses can ventilate through themselves from the top depending on material if you don't lay on it 24/7
>>2989289first bed i made was plywood sides. woke up every morning feeling rough as fuck. longer i spent in it the worse it got, throat red raw nose burning. swapped ply for 2x4 and immediately stopped. probably all the formaldahyde or whatever in the glue.i agree with you about sturdiness i don't think springiness under the mattress does anything, beds are just like that because its cheaper to make and ship i assume.but the foam mattress brother cannot be good for you either.
>>2989337*uses box spring and mattress cover*heh nothing personal
>>2989324moistureairflowdusteven just getting out of bed
>>2991382Furniture grade or cheap home depot construction board?
>>2991441You know it's the cheap shit he picked up at home depot.
