Assemble The Diy Wood Bed Frame

Time to enjoy the sweet fruit of our labor and assemble our DIY wood bed frame!

First, place the headboard and footboard where you would like the bed to be. Lift the 2×6 side rail and slide the bed rail bracket claws into the slots so they lock in place. Two people can do this pretty easily.

If you have trouble, loosen the screw on the claw brackets a little. After the brackets are hooked together, tighten the screws so the bed is sturdy and solid.

Place the 2×4 stringers sideways into the U-shaped slots on the headboard and footboard. Add the slats. No need for box spring!

Add your favorite mattress and pillows! We LOVE our beautiful mattress made of 100% natural latex foam, organic cotton and wool, and our latex pillows, gifts from Sleep On Latex , a company which has received tons of raving reviews! You can read more about their unique story here.

We can honestly say that when things are made with love and care, they radiate joy into your living spaces. Our bed, mattress and pillows bring smiles to us each day.

Because we are inspired by the amazing book: The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up, we are adding furniture very slowly and only choosing things that spark joy in us.

We will build night stands or other pieces at some point, but for now, why not get creative with things we already have and love? A wood crate and a white bar stool can hold a few books, a cup of tea, and some lovely plants. Life is perfect.

How Do I Know Which Bed Size Is Best For My Space

Sometimes, the size of bed frame youre purchasing is determined by the size of the mattress you already have, but if you have more freedom, you can start from scratch to choose the right bed size for your space.

If youre more than 6′ tall, we recommend a bed frame that can fit a mattress at least 80″ long: twin XL, queen, king, or California king. We also recommend leaving at least 24″ of open space around your bed so that you can easily move around and get in and out of bed.

For a guest room that does double duty as your home office, you may want to choose something smaller, like a full-size bed frame. We provide the length and width of all our bed frames on its ordering page, so double-check before you place yours in your cart.

Raw Wood Allows For Easy Customization

Although I think the color of the Tarva bed frame is very versatile in terms of matching your bedroom, you may want to achieve a more customized look. The great news is that the bed doesnt have a finish applied. This makes it very easy to apply your own paint or varnish to the raw wood. You can paint it to match the room or just change the original wood tone of the solid pine.

Build Wood Bed And Headboard

Tip: It is easier to drill all the pocket holes first, then screw the pieces together.

When building the headboard, create the center panel first, then attach it to the posts, and then add 2×4 top piece and 2×6 bottom rail. See diagram below.

The key is to leave a tiny gap between the 1×4 slats to allow room for wood movement. More about wood movement in the DIY headboard tutorial here

Instead of making this super long tutorial even longer, I have included detailed step-by-step instructions on how to build the center panel, how to check for square, wood movements, plus other helpful tips in this DIY wood headboard tutorial here.

It also includes variations on how to build a wood headboard like this if you already have a bed frame and just want to add a headboard!

For our DIY headboard, I gave the boards a light gold stain to bring the white pine 1x4s closer in color to the Doug Fir posts and rails, using Recipe #7 in this tutorial:Easy Homemade All Natural Wood Stains with 7 Recipes!

To build the footboard, use 2.5 pocket hole screws to attach the 2×6 to the 4×4 posts, check they are flush at top and on the side that faces out.

Because our goal is to keep this DIY bed frame easy to assemble and disassemble when we move, I design it so the bed slats and supporting 2×4 stringers are held in place by supports and spacers, instead of attached to the bed rails.

Choose The Right Wood To Build A Bed Frame

Do NOT use pressure treated lumber, there might be chemicals in them that you dont want! If you use reclaimed wood, make sure they are clean and safe to use!

To build a wood bed frame that is beautiful and sturdy, we need to choose wood for strength, work-ability and beauty. Select wood with structural integrity, tight grain, small knots , few cup and twist, and no splits.

Knots are very dense, making them hard to drill and cut through. Study the plan to see where the screws are, and select boards with few knots in those areas.

We used Douglas Fir for our DIY wood bed posts and rails. It is a popular structural/construction lumber on the west coast. The wood is very stiff and strong. Southern Yellow Pine / Spruce Fir is also a great choice and popular on the east coast. Other great choices are Poplar, Ash, Oak, Alder, Birch, Cherry, Walnut, and Maple.

If you are using other species of lumber, make sure that the wood is good for structural use. Dont just base on the name hardwood or softwood. An example about hardwood vs softwood: Doug Fir is a softwood that is super strong, while Basswood, a hardwood, is super soft and will not hold the screws, which means a bed frame that will fall apart!

Additional Tips: How To Adapt This Diy Bed Frame Plan To Any Size Bed With Or Without Headboard

This DIY queen bed frame plan can be easily adapted to create other sized beds using the reference chart below.

Pin this to your DIY Furniture or Bedroom Ideas board!

For example: to build a king size bed frame, just add 16 inches to the length of all the horizontal components: the 1x4s, 2×4 and 2×6 on the headboard, the bed slats, and the 2×6 on the headboard.

To build a twin size bed frame, reduce 21 inches on the length of all the horizontal components: the 1x4s, 2×4 and 2×6 on the headboard, the bed slats, and the 2×6 on the headboard. And reduce 6 inches on the length of the 2×6 side rails and 2×4 stringer ( you only need one stringer because the twin bed is a lot narrower.

To build this DIY bed frame without a headboard, just change the two taller 4×4 posts to the same height as the shorter 4×4 posts, omit everything above, thats it!

Some of you might be wondering if parts of this wood bed frame can be made from pallets. The answer is yes!

However, not all pallet wood are suitable. Before you start, please check out this detailed guide on where to find and how to work with pallets!

Frequently Asked Questions About Wooden Bed Frames

• How much do wood bed frames cost?

  There are many decent wooden bed frames available for $300 to $700, with some high-end models costing $1,000 or more. Wood bed frames made with solid hardwood are usually more expensive, but they are also generally more durable. Size and design can also impact cost.

• How can I stop a wooden bed frame from squeaking?

  There are several ways to eliminate bed frame noise. The first step is to determine where the noise is coming from. Check for broken slats and make sure all bolts and screws are tightly fastened. Use oil to lubricate the screws and bolts, or add plastic washers. You may also be able to reduce friction by applying wax to problem areas, using cork to plug gaps, or inserting raisers under the legs. To protect your wooden bed frame from unnecessary swelling, keep it away from water and heat sources.

• What type of wood is best for bed frames?

  Wood bed frames can be made out of hardwood, softwood, or composite woods like plywood or fiberboard, each of which has its own benefits. Durable hardwoods like maple, cherry, mahogany, oak, and walnut are generally considered the best types of wood for a bed frame. Softwoods such as pine, cedar, and fir are easier to shape, but they may not be as strong. Composite woods dont offer the same look as a natural wood frame, and they may contain adhesives and other synthetic materials. However, they tend to have a lower price-point and may be more resistant to damage.
