Brilliant & Perfect! Great re-use of something that would have ended up in a landfill. I would respectfully add one more detail....if the mattress is one of those foam type mattresses, some holes drilled down the center that is empty underneath would help with air circulation. I’ve seen what happens under those mattresses when there is no air circulation, don’t ask me how I know that! If it’s a regular mattress it wouldn’t need it. Love it, turned out fabulous!!!

Love your channel and all your ideas. Don’t be discouraged or bothered by insignificant comments. I guess that’s why I could never have a YT channel it takes a lot to put yourself out there on the internet where everyone can see you and your ideas you have so much to offer. Iam glad you share your wealth of knowledge. Whatever is in their heart comes out through their comments and sadly attention seekers.

About the only thing to add is plastic grid flooring squares under mattress to aid in moisture circulation. That's something I've seen other platform bed people do. I've been shopping for futon bed and the comments say to get the grass reed mat to prevent mold starting. Maybe that layer is an option too in this case.

That’s a good question! I didn’t know about that until recently! I watched an RV rehab video and he mentioned moisture and mold. So I checked my daughters mattress thoroughly and it’s fine . No moisture , no mold. I think since she’s a very petite girl and not a big hot sweaty man it’s working out fine. But I may put some vents in the plywood anyway.
