All categories of comfort bed’s are really looking good. Thanks for this information. I have watched gallery. Nice post.
What kind of wood do you recommend for someone who wants to build a bed that both looks nice, but is also extremely affordable? I am looking for something more like a college student would have in his dorm. Great information on the site, by the way. Thanks!
Hi Nate:
Pine or Spruce for any exposed surfaces would be the least expensive and you could use plywood for most of the rest of the bed. For a little bit more money, Oak or Redwood looks really beautiful when finished. Oak will last the longest as it is a hardwood and will stand up to abuse much better than the other woods. For me, Redwood is beautiful when finished; it is a soft wood though, and will show dents and scratches if abused.

You have a very nice site on bed plans. I enjoy wood working and I have made everything from bird houses to small sheds. I am going to build a bunk bed for my two boys and the resources you provided here have given me some great ideas and answered my questions. Thank you.
I would like to toss in that poplar is a pretty affordable semi-hardwood for bunk beds. It is easy to mill and sand, and takes a finish really nicely. As cherry has gotten so expensive over the last few years, I have stained several poplar projects with a cherry stain with beautiful results.
Thanks for the opportunity to contribute!
Cheers,
Andy
Great plans you have here, thanks for having us!
CommentLuv is amazing. I use it on all of my blogs and it really does increase the amount of REAL comments from readers, as there is an incentive for them to post.
When we moved into our new house a few years ago I built a set of Bunk Beds for my son’s room. We could not find a design that we liked, so I kinda came up with my design. On one end of the bed I built a desk for them to do homework on and on the other end was a small fort for them to play in.
I also built in drawers under the bottom bed for storage.
I built these beds using White Pine 2 X 6 lumber for the main part of the bed frame (head board foot board and side rails. For the desk area I used 1 X 6
Pine lumber. For finishing it, I took a propane torch and burnt the lumber and then lightly sanded it and then put satin poly-urethane on it. It turned out really good and they used them for about 5 years until they decided that they needed separate rooms.

Doesn’t matter whether you make your mind up to buy metal or wood bed. because bed durability depends on its quality and features.
Hi, William from upholstered beds and I am very happy to find such an informative website.
I would to add that making your own upholstered headboard to add to an existing bed is a very inexpensive way to change your entire bedroom look. If you just search for “how to make a headboard”, you will find several sites with easy instructions.

I went through all the categories of Bed-Plans and found all the items comfortable for sleeping. personally, I liked the platform beds the most. Its a nice site regarding the main furniture one must have in one’s home. And what’s better than having a comfortable bed to make the home a sweet home.
