A box spring mattress is possibly the worst option for sleep if you are looking to keep your family free of harmful toxins commonly found in household products. These unregulated and chemically altered bed platforms are known to be less durable, unreliable, and worst of all found to off gas while in your home! We propose our mattresses be placed on slatted bed frames made of natural wood made without chemical finishes.The breathability they provide helps your mattress filter dust and avoid mold buildup. With the bottom surface exposed to the natural air flow of your room the anti-microbial and dust mite resistant materials of your mattress will naturally dry to filter out moisture your body may perspire while asleep. For these reasons we never recommend our products for box spring mattresses.Learn why we don't use box springs on platform beds. Beautiful Color, Low V.O.C.

Take a look at any one of Store Locations!Show All ItemsI’ve built a lot of these bunk beds in the past and recently built one for my own home. This is a super easy build as the materials are all common construction grade pine and every cut is a 90 degree cut so there are no complicated angles. The construction is with wood screws and pocket hole screws. Because all of the screws are installed from the inside there are no screw heads or carriage bolts showing on the outside. This gives the bunk bed a nice clean appearance. Both sides double as a ladder.The overall measurements of the bunk bed are 72″ tall with a footprint of 81-1/2″ long by 45-1/2″ wide. The bed frames are sized to accept a standard twin mattress.I'll walk you through the building process with this instructable to give you the overall process of building it. For those interested in the specifics of every dimension and cut I do have plans available and a link to those is in the last section of this instructable.

Super cheap ones work fine.Using power tools incorrectly can be dangerous. If you are at all uncomfortable doing something don't do it. You can walk with a wooden leg and hold things with a wooden hand but you can't see with a wooden eye. Wear your safety glasses.Step 1: Cutting PartsShow All ItemsThe bed frames need to be built first because their overall width determines the length of the ladder rungs. Regular construction grade pine 2x6s are cut for the frames. I used my miter saw for this step. I'm trying to achieve an aged look with the finishing process so I don't need to be super critical when sanding. I don't want everything to be super smooth but I do want to remove the manufacture stamp marks. So to make the process much faster I decided to use my thickness planer instead of sanding.
