Twin size plans 39"x75" 86cm x 190cm Double size plans 54"x75" 137cm x 190 cm Queen size plans 60"x80" 152cm x 203cm King size plans 76"x80" 193cm x 203cm If you are 5'9" or taller, the extra length of the queen and king bed sizes gives you more room to stretch out. If you are 5'6" or shorter, the extra length doesn't make much difference. A king size mattress is almost the width to two twin size mattresses side by side. There is only 6" of width difference between double and queen size beds, but the 6" make a big difference.
54" for two people is just a little bit too narrow. Having a bed frame with rails that come up to almost the level of the mattress also helps, because there is less risk of just rolling off the squishy edge of the mattress as you getIt does however make changing the sheets more difficult.

The finished dimensions for a queen-size mattress: 64½"W 83½"L Download and print the Storage bed cut list Cut the MDF Pieces The mattress platform is made up of three storage carcasses: one along each side with three bays, and another one-bay box that fits between those two, at the foot of the bed. Take the sheets of MDF, clamp a straightedge in place, and use a circular saw to cut the pieces per the cut list. Assemble the Storage Carcasses The back piece and dividers get sandwiched between the top and bottom. Lay a bottom piece flat and run a bead of wood glue atop its back edge. Stand the back piece on edge on the glue line, and use four bar clamps to hold it upright. Once the back is clamped down, get a partner to help tip up the L-shaped assembly, and drill pilot holes through the bottom and into the edge. Screw the pieces together with 1½-inch MDF screws.
Evenly space the four dividers along the length of the assembly. Glue, clamp, and screw them in place, then do the same for the top piece. Build the other two carcasses the same way. Arrange the three carcasses as they will be assembled, and clamp them together at the foot. Measure the length and width of the void between the carcasses, as shown. Unclamp them and prime all surfaces. Grab a partner and move the carcasses into the bedroom. Place them on 1x2 furring strips so that the bottom rails will be flush with the storage openings, and clamp them back together. Using 1¼-inch MDF screws, go through the wall of the small carcass and into the adjacent ones, as shown. Install the 2x4 Support Frame Use a miter saw to cut 2x4s to length to build a support frame for the void between the carcasses. Use deck screws to go through the long boards into the ends of the five crosspieces. Install 1x2 cleats around the platform opening, 3½ inches down, to hold the frame flush with the platform, and set the frame in place, as shown.
Use 2-inch MDF screws to fasten it to the carcasses, tying together the entire assembly. Cut the MDF Bed-Frame Pieces Use a straightedge and a circular saw to cut the side panels and footboard to size. The side panels overlap the footboard (and will butt into the headboard, in Step 9). Run a bead of wood glue along the perimeter of the top of the platform, one side at a time for each panel. Place each panel on edge in the glue, and clamp it in place, as shown. Check that the face is square and flush with the platform, then drill pilot holes up into the edges from the storage bays and install 1½-inch MDF screws. Screw through the side panels and into the edges of the footboards, too. Measure the width of the bed, and cut the headboard to size. Use 1¼-inch MDF screws to attach it to the carcasses and the 2x4 support frame. Don't use glue if you ever plan to move the bed. Install the Face Frames For the best fit, measure and cut the 1x2 trim as you go. Starting with the top and bottom rails on the sides, glue them in place, then use a brad nailer to tack them down.
Measure, cut, and install the top and bottom rails at the foot of the bed. Next up: all the stiles. Install the Cap Trim Set a miter saw to 45 degrees, and cut the footboard ends of the two 1x2 pieces that cap the sides. Measure and cut the other ends at 90 degrees. Glue and nail the side caps in place. Next, measure for the footboard cap, set the saw back to 45 degrees, and miter both ends of the cap to fit. Glue and nail it in place. Install the Headboard Trim Glue and tack the rosettes in place at the corners. Measure the distance between each one and the platform, and cut the door casing to length. Use a jigsaw or a Japanese handsaw to notch the casings around the side panels, and glue and nail them in place with a brad nailer. Then install the horizontal piece of casing between the rosettes. Finally, cut a ½x3 lattice strip to fit between the platform and the horizontal casing, center it side to side, and glue and nail it in place. Cut pieces of beadboard panel to fit into the two halves of the headboard.
