This upholstered bed is easy to make, and you can customize with fabric and legs of your choice!  Whe choose a fluffy fur for my tween's room - but the options are endless!

Here's how we built it - (there's also step by step plans, just scroll all the way down)

We used 2x4s to make a frame the size of the mattress, just screwing together at the corners.

Then we screwed on store bought hairpin legs. I got mine off Amazon.  They are 8" tall.

Pretty simple so far!  

Then we cut 1x8 boards as shown in the cut list below, and stapled the fabric over it.

Now to attach to the bed frame -

We just held the sideboards covered in fabric on the 2x4 frame and screwed from the inside. Then we repeated steps for the foorboard and headboard.

Finally for the slats - we just set on top of the 2x4s and screwed down.

We also share how we built this bed in a video tutorial for your convenience-

And the plans with diagrams are below.

Please share if you build, you can tag me on Instagram #anawhite or add a brag post!

Thank you so much for using our plans, we appreciate you!

Plan Notes

• The fur fabric was easy to work with because it hides all the seams and is thick, so batting was not necessary (although I do recommend it)
• If you use thinner fabric, you must use batting underneath.
• We used 3 yards of 60" wide fur but I had to splice the fur together on the siderails.  If I had to do it again, I'd probably buy 5 yards of fabric.
• Make sure you use self tapping wood screws OR predrill all screw holes
• Our staples were 3/8" long and this was plenty good
