The bed...Due
to numerous requests, we decided to offer this full-sized version of our mate’s
bed plan #03-202. For those lucky enough to have large bedroom space, you can
even build the storage drawers on both sides of the bed (his & hers). To
complement this bed, you may want to build the matching bookcase headboard plan
#04-209.
This bed is fairly easy to build, using
hardwood veneer and solid wood drawer faces. Most of the fastening for the bed
assembly uses corner zinc braces and screws, thus allowing for easy
disassembly. The spacious drawers are built using simple dado and rabbet
joinery. This plan also uses drawer slides but you may choose differently.
This bed will accommodate a double mattress in
the range of 56" by 80" (see mattress chart below). Note that extra
space is allotted for bedding.
Finish
used for this project: water-based
Flecto Varathane Diamond Wood Finish, in a satin sheen.

The headboard...To
complement our Mate’s double bed plan #04-208, we added this handy bookcase
headboard. It is the perfect solution for adding extra storage/display area
without using much space. Made of mostly wood veneer, this simple project uses
biscuit joinery. This headboard is free standing but can be fixed to the wall
or bed if desired. It can also be used with most standard double beds.
