4th 180 mod-twin beds

Made you a video with answers to your questions.

But the quick answers are 1x6 framing, mattress is 6" tall plus a topper, and yes the seatback fits tight and doesn't hardly move at all once set.

As I mentioned in earlier posts we first made them 28" wide and that just did not work out, I always had something hanging near the edge or touching the wall and it made for restless sleep. Adding the center section alleviated this entirely even though I only use it for an arm or a leg.

The biggest pluses are

 The added floor space during the day,

 More drawers for storage, I can actually use the closet to hang stuff,

 The whole gotta pee in the night and have to climb over the wife to do it, (sleeping bear).

 

This mod worked out way better than I thought it would,and would not change it back for anything.

Marwayne suggested flush mount drawer pulls and that is a real good Idea I just haven't done yet.

This one was more complicated to design than the drawers under bed mod, but the build wasn't any worse.

Skill level 7, If you can build a drawer and mount it on guides (with drawer face) you could most likely do the mod.

  95% of the cuts were done with a skil saw, and it's all put together with screws. I wanted full access to everything under with easy to remove access panels, Trim was all the same Home Depot shelving I used before and it was tricky only using that as trim. There is angle iron over the large drawer openings to support the plywood and face frame. What it looks like under the mattress 

The mattress is a 6" 3 layer memory foam queen that I Bought on amazon for $130, actually cut it with a skilsaw and a cheese knife.
