I had all sorts of ideas at first. But I finally decided how to go about it. I had already decided to buy a new twin mattress some time back, even before all this wedding stuff. That made the timing perfect. However, I did not want to buy another box spring. So how to make a real bed with just a mattress?

I bought a twin frame for 39 bucks and 3 pieces of 2' x 4' fiber board (or some variation of plywood). I then had them cut the 3 pieces to 38 inches the long way making them 24" x 38". I already had risers from back when. So I put the frame on the risers and put the plywood stuff on top:
I think it looks like a plywood frog or salamander without a head. To cover up the big plywood frog, I just happened to have a bed skirt that I was not using:
I then added sheets, a comforter, and pillows. And behold! I now have a bed for my brother to sleep upon in the library:
He will never know he is sleeping on a funky plywood frog. I'm certainly not going to tell him.

Very clever! But he better not read your blog or all will be revealed.:)
I am.
Very clever you are!!!
Does he read your blog?
LGS,
~~It's safe.
Jocelyn,
~~Good luck with that!
Lo,
~~How very Yoda of you.
Jazz,
~~Only when I tell him to.
Hope he doesn't plan on jumping on the bed!
I think having to buy a box spring mattress is just another money grab. I don't have one and I sleep quite comfortably.
I have never seen bed risers like that before. Is that what those are made for, or did you improvise using something else? I will keep your froggy secret too! :D
V,
~~A 53 year old man jumping on the bed? That's creepy.
Carole,
~~I bought those risers at the container store. They were black and I had painted them green because they were in the master bedroom.
Why the froggy legs anyway? Just think of the poor little froggies running around on peg legs. I’m surprised Jazz wasn’t upset. ;o)
BB,
~~Yeah, that all makes sense.
