Plan #05-214

High Storage Twin Bed Plan

This twin size high bed plan is a modified version of our Queen High Bed Storage Plan #04-212. (For a shorter storage beds with one row of drawers see our Mate's Twin Bed Plan #03-202 ). It is very practical as it converts unused space into an under-bed dresser! A sturdy frame and platform support contain the mattress, thus eliminating the need for that space-wasting box spring. The spacious drawers, six per side, use ball bearing drawer slides to ensure smooth and long lasting operation. You may choose to have drawers on only one side if the bed is to lie against a wall. Drawers are constructed using dado/rabbet joinery.

The bed is built using plywood and hardwood products and incorporates simple joinery techniques. Most of the fastening for the bed frame assembly uses corner zinc braces and screws, thus allowing for easy assembly/disassembly. We'll show you how to easily create the simple fluted lines and dentil trim that adorn this piece of furniture.

This bed will accommodate a twin (long) size mattress in the range of 39" by 80". Note that extra space around the mattress is allotted for bedding. The bed has a mattress height of approx. 29" when using a 6 1/2" thick mattress. Some people may find the assistance of a bed step stool useful for getting in/out of bed.

Finish used for this project : Flecto Varathane Clear Diamond Wood Finish, in a satin sheen.

Overall dimensions : 50" wide by 91 3/4" long and 49 1/2" high at headboard, 24" high at bed rail, 31 1/2" high at footboard.
