Description by Flatma:
This project features a double platform bed designed for a mattress of about 79x63 in (2000x1600 mm). The bed plans focus on a clean rectangular frame, a supportive slat base, and a straight headboard with simple lines suited to modern interiors. The design works with solid wood or plywood and can be adapted to different finishes and room layouts. These bed frame plans and woodworking blueprints use straightforward assembly steps that suit a wide range of DIY projects and professional workshops.
Construction Features
- Mattress size: 79x63 in (2000x1600 mm). Typical overall footprint allows small clearances, for example about 81x65 in (2050x1650 mm), adjustable.
- Platform height: around 14–16 in (355–405 mm), depending on leg length and rail height.
- Headboard height: about 35–39 in (900–1000 mm), with a flat, panel-style layout.
- Side rails: approx. 7.5–8 in (190–200 mm) tall boards; thickness 0.75–1 in (19–25 mm).
- Slat base: slats 2.5–3 in (65–75 mm) wide, spaced 2–3 in (50–75 mm). A center support rail is recommended for spans over 63 in (1600 mm).
These bed frame plans can be scaled to queen or king formats by adjusting the length and width while keeping the same joinery principles.
Materials and Hardware
- Materials: solid wood such as pine, oak, maple, or birch; or 3/4 in (19 mm) plywood for rails and headboard panels. Slats in 3/4 in (19 mm) stock, 2.5–3 in (65–75 mm) wide.
- Hardware and fasteners: wood screws 2–2.5 in (50–64 mm), bed bolts with cross dowels 5/16 in; dowels or concealed brackets for the headboard; corner brackets; felt pads; edge banding for plywood; wood glue. Finish options include clear oil, water-based varnish, or stain.
Customization Options
- Adjust overall dimensions to fit different mattresses and room layouts.
- Modify platform height for under-bed storage or low-profile looks.
- Add drawers, a center beam with adjustable feet, or an upholstered headboard panel.
After detailed review, the blueprints can be downloaded, and element dimensions can be adapted to individual requirements for your DIY bed project and workshop tooling.
