- The main platform's sides, head and foot rails, are comprised of 3/4" x 5 1/2" solid pine boards attached to an inner frame of strong one and one half inch thick solid wood. The bed is supported by 2 1/4" x 3" x 7" legs. Please note, some of my website bed photos show a smaller platform supporting the main platform. To improve air circulation, facilitate easier cleaning and for more under-bed storage, I changed the design to legs in 2012.
