Create a unique platform bed from Multiplex, by TJ

A custom-made eye-catcher in the bedroom

Dive into the world of DIY inspiration and discover how TJ created a beautiful custom bed using raw plywood. With the help of TOSIZE.fi, the plywood was completely cut to size, creating a personal piece of furniture with sleek lines.

The construction of the platform bed

The project starts with a simple but stable construction of plywood panels. The panels are cleverly arranged to form a solid foundation that can easily support the weight of a mattress and people. Then, slats are placed at equal distances from each other, which ensures a well-ventilated mattress.

The benefits of DIY

Building your own bed gives you the freedom to tailor the dimensions to your needs. This way, both the headboard and the height of the bed frame will perfectly match your wishes. Choosing to use untreated plywood not only offers a budget-friendly alternative, but also allows you to treat or paint the wood later to your own taste.

Oak wood: the choice for sustainability and natural beauty

The used Multiplex Interior Poplar B/BB 18 mm is not only aesthetically attractive, but also extremely suitable for furniture due to its light weight and sturdiness. The fine grain and even colour provide a uniform look, while the possibility of various finishing methods such as painting, varnishing or oiling offers creative freedom for every do-it-yourselfer.
