Hook

One plan, every bed in the house: Twin, Full, Queen and King are each drawn separately — own cut list, own sheet layout, slat counts computed per size. No scaling a queen drawing down and hoping. The frame is sized at the mattress plus 1½ in each way, the slats rest on the rails and a centre beam, and the two-panel plywood headboard closes it out.

Specs

Frame sizes (mattress + 1½ in each way): Twin 39½ × 76½ in · Full 55½ × 76½ in · Queen 61½ × 81½ in · King 77½ × 81½ in — 41½ in tall overall

Plan length: 19 pages (US Letter), imperial + metric throughout

Construction: 2×4 head posts, 4×4 foot and centre legs, 1×6 side rails, 2×4 centre beam on edge (top flush with rail tops at 13½ in), 1×4 slats at ~2.4 in gaps resting directly on rails + beam — no slat cleats, and the plan says so

Headboard: two ¾ in plywood panels with a 2 in shadow gap, topped by a cap board (the cap is one extra slat board — disclosed in the step text)

Sheet goods: 1 × ¾ in plywood sheet (headboard panels) per size, plus lumber

Estimated material cost (computed by the plan engine): Twin $203 · Full $257 · Queen $266 · King $266

Difficulty: Intermediate · Build time: 1 weekend

FAQ

Is this a physical product? No — it's an instant digital download: the plan PDF plus DXF and SVG files for the headboard panels.

Do I need a box spring? No. The slats and centre beam carry the mattress directly, and the heights are set so mattresses land at standard bed height.

Is each size really drawn separately? Yes — four sizes, four cut lists, four layouts, slat counts computed for each. Nothing is scaled from another size.

Do I need a CNC? No. The only CNC files are for the two headboard panels; everything else is straight lumber cuts.

What if the files don't open or arrive damaged? Files faulty or corrupted? Free replacement within 7 days.
