Today’s feature is from My Family Loves It with How to build a platform bed

King size is pricey and we didn’t want to spend the money on a bed frame that wasn’t going to match our dressers so we looked into platform beds. I found a few plans online, but the basic design was so simple that I decided to just wing it and make my own plans using standard construction lumber. We made the trip to our local furniture store and fell in love with a foam mattress. We placed our order, took some measurements and after Thanksgiving I built our new bed in a busy afternoon. Here’s how I did it.

By my estimation, the supplies (minus the mattress) were under $125 buckaroos…for a well built, wood platform bed! Way to go guys, great project!
