I purchased a king size tempurpedic and am planning on using a piece of 3/8 plywood as the foundation. What dimensions do I need the plywood cut?

sorry we bought ours in queen size, but this bed comes with so many slats and they are so close together you may not need the plywood. The slats sit within a inch or two of each other and give very good support to our tempurpedic even though it is only queen size. sleep well !!!

You will need 4 ea. 3/4 in ply...(I used Oak), 2 sheets of 1/4 in ply, in solid wood( poplar,pine, maple etc.) 3/4 x 1 1/2 in about 75 linear ft. You can do it with a good blade on circular saw with good straight edge. Kreg has one that hooks on to your saw for around $30.

Hi Charles, I added 3 extentions on mine making it an 8 X 17.5 feet. I was about 3 inches too long and 2 inches too wide when I was done. I got 8 "large" ( 104 lbs each) concrete blocks with a 4 X 4 bracket in it. I buried the blocks with just the bracket above ground. I used 18 foot 4 X 4's cutting them down as required, I took great care in making them level end to end and cross wise, I also used a string X style from corner to corner and squared it up. I then ran a row of cement bricks down the center, attaching 2x4 then a 4x4 every 2 feet between the side rails. I covered it with 3/4 plywood painting both sides (went to paint store and got throw away paint customer had brought back) the nailed it down. Followed the instructions I had a helper, building was completed in 7 hours. So answer to your question, lay out your floor on your drive way snap it together then measure it that will give you the exact size of the floor. I used a 4x4 inch flashing sliding it under the edge of the floor and letting hang down over the outside of the 4x4 floor frame. Put your time in on the foundation/floor the rest will go easy. My help was a young fellow, we stood the wall panels up in the slots on the floor, he put a hand on each corner then jumped up and let his weight pull the panels down, no hammer, went fast. Love my shed Steve Humphrey

I only purchased the regular size, but the slates were about three inches apart. That spacing is no problem with large foam mattresses....8" or more... AND the cover they supply makes the spacing irrelevant... if you needed an absolutely solid foundation, a very thin piece of plywood would work well.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

When you use a 2x4 and put the recommended plywood depth as a top, it's almost flush. I used 2x6's on the top piece and 3/4 inch plywood. If you did it that way, and depending on the depth and length, you can hang the top plywood over the edge of the structure far enough to have a clamping surface. Very easy. My bench is about 30 inches deep rather than 1/2 of an 8 foot 2x4 (48 inches). I did that so it would fit into a certain space. The directions (if I remember correctly) are for using minimum cuts on full pieces of plywood and 2x4's. You can plan and make it any size you want.

We used a bunky board for a regular massage. I would suggest it with any mattress. We went to Home Deport, found med grade plywood and had them cut to our dimensions. We bought 3 bunks and 2 of the double bunks for our guest house. Have had them for 2 summers with adults and kids using them. They have been great.

Yes I believe so, Mine was 3/4" plywood and it had space. If you're talking about thickness. You can text me at 865-323-5001 and I'll send pics.

Use an 8 inch minimum because of the wooden slots , A 10 inch wood be better.I would not recommend a foam mattress which is too soft, rather one with a sturdy filling.

Yes, we got a piece of plywood and had it cut to size. Then we used an old sheet to cover the plywood so it would not snag our mattress. Worked like a charm and is just the support it needs.

You need 1/8" closed cell foam the size of the table only. Use spray adhesive on the wood to tack down the foam. Do not use adhesive between foam and cloth

Depends upon how thick a plywood you use. I used 1/2" and my top is just a hair below the frame.

I bought the mattress and the frame I did not nuy the foundation but it is a standard king size so it should fit just fine

I did but laid down plywood on top. HD or Lowe's will cut it down to size for you for free if you buy 2 pieces.

If your not concerned by looks. You could use 1/2 inch foilboard. Most home centers carry it. One brand is tuff-r insulation board. Comes in 4x8 sheet. Easy to cut with knife. Has R value of 3.3. You could use silcone to fasen it. That would solve your problem.

I think you could cut it to a custom size, although I'm not sure what would be the best way to cut it. The foam would stay together and keep it's shape after you cut it.

hi frank. you must supply the wood. the instructions tell you what size hole you need to cut out for the fan. i believe i used a piece of 3/4" plywood although 1/2' would probably be okay.
