The Wood Whisperer – Slat Back Platform Bed – Marc Spagnuolo

This bed was designed specifically for my mom for her new house here in Denver. It features tapered legs, a tapered/slatted headboard, pillowed slats, solid mortise and tenon joinery, and a half-lapped platform frame. The bed can break down easily thanks to sliding dovetails at the footboard and bolts at the headboard. This video series demonstrates the construction of a King size bed but we also provide a secondary plan containing a cut list and measurements for a Queen size version.
