A simple loft bed I made for my out out of construction lumber. The corner posts were 2x6 screwed and glued together. For each corner post, one board is is ripped down by 1-1/2" inches so that both sides end up the same width. That piece that is ripped off is later used as the lip to hold the mattress. The guard rail is made from 2x4s and the stretchers that will hold the mattress were 2x10s. Everything is held together with 3/8" carriage bolts. The height depends on how much clearance you want beneath the bed. This one is tall because I wanted 5' of clearance underneath. The width depends on what size of mattress you plan to use. I made the mattress opening 1" wider and longer than the mattress to allow room for the sheets and covers. This whole things can be made with a drill/driver, circular saw, router, sander, and doweling jig.
