[Captions by Y Translator] We've got a really cool project coming up for you today.
Today's video is sponsored by Casper.
They make fantastic mattresses,
and I thought if we're going to have a great mattress,
we should have something great to put it on.
So today we are building the world's coolest bed frame.
This is not your ordinary bed frame.
Trust me.
It's going to be amazing.
[Music]
We've got all our supplies.
You've got a bunch of tools.
So it's time to get started,
and the first thing I actually did was to draw
the whole frame on SketchUp.
This is something I'm going to use as a reference
to make sure I'm getting all the right number of pieces,
and the right sizes,
and the right shapes, and all of that good stuff.
But for now,
I think what we need to do is take some of these 4x4,
and cut them down to size.
[Music]
At Home Depot,
I requested that they cut these boards to 23 inches,
and they were pretty close.
I got 1/8 of an inch under 23 inches.
That's why I measure to make sure
so I don't end up with these posts being too long.
So now, we're going to measure just under 23 inch segments,
and cut those off of our 4x4 beams.
[Music]
Beautiful.
Perfect fit.
[Music]
Now, you can see the very beginning of what we're going for.
The box is definitely not finished.
But this will be one of the front pieces,
that will be near the back.
There's actually going to be an extension beyond this.
But this is the size
of the storage that we're going to have inside.
Next, I'm also going to cut a piece that goes right along
in between these two 4x4 posts,
that will divide it right in the middle,
and offer support down the middle of the bed.
You've seen that I used a lot of screws to attach the 4x4
to these boards here these ones do not have that,
and although there will be a 4x4 beam
about in the middle on this,
what I'm going to do
to attach it to these is drill holes all the way through,
and use some carriage bolts,
and that will give a really strong connection to the post,
which will make it so there's no play,
there's no wobble,
but it also makes it
so I can easily take it apart when I need to move this.
This piece here can fit through pretty much any door frame,
and through any hallway that I need.
The whole bed in its entirety can't,
but it should easily dismantled down into pieces,
that I can carry or move.
After discussing it with a friend of mine
who's an electrician,
I started working on the electrical portions of the bed.
This thing is going to have lights,
electricity, speakers, the whole works.
[Music]
Two hours later.
[Music]
The main frame of the bed is now assembled.
We've got all of the stuff to install into the headboard,
but I think at this point,
I'm going to throw the mattress on,
but it's time for the unveil.
I have been using it Casper mattress for several months now,
and I love it.
It's got like layers,
of different densities of foam to give,
like just the right balance between bouncy and soft.
So there's like no pressure points and stuff.
It is a super great mattress.
I definitely love it.
Guys, if you're doing what you're supposed to,
you should be spending 1/3 of your life asleep in bed,
getting 8 hours of sleep.
So you want to make sure
that you spend that time well and be comfortable.
I also really appreciate
how convenient they make it to order.
It comes delivered straight to your door in a box
that's surprisingly small.
You're not really sure
how they squished it mattress down like that,
and you get a 100 night sleep on it trial.
So you actually get to you it for like 3 months.
If after your 100-day trial you decide it's not for you,
they have hassle-free returns,
shipping to you
and returning it is free, if you're in the US and Canada.

Guys, the bed is done.
This has been a crazy big,
very fancy, very complicated build.
But I am very excited to have it all finished,
and to show you what it can do.
First off, its a king-size mattress,
and you can see that there's space on it.
In fact, if you look underneath the bed cover,
there's actually just a little bit of extra space
going all the way around,
and that was intentional.
I am quite tall.
I can quite easily get into this bed
without any effort,
but a shorter person may want something to put a knee on
as they climb up into the bed or something like that.
So there is just a little bit
of a border going all the way, around on the end here
that also works to help lift up and down.
Now, the whole point of this box shape,
and everything, was
that there's storage underneath it.
And we have a 6 foot wide, 6 foot long,
2 foot tall storage room underneath this bed.
Because it does have the two gas struts installed,
it lifts up pretty easily even with the mattress on top of it.
You can see I've got a lot of space down there.
You can throw whatever you want.
It's going to be well protected, well secured,
and you're not going to have to worry about whether
this platform is going to collapse onto it or anything,
because it is super sturdy.
Overall, this thing is strong,
and has just a lot of space underneath it.
I've got some lights,
just in case you need more visibility down in there.
There's actually not a lot of need for it.
You can see on this side.
You can look all the way into the back of it,
and you have pretty good lighting but just in case.
You can see I've got
LED strip lighting going all the way around.
Let's take a closer look at how that's being installed.
Plugged into a power strip
that I will show you in a minute.
It's just an LED control box,
that's got some wires that come over to here.
This right here is the IR receiver for the remote control.
This was just a role
of strip lighting that I bought online.
It didn't come in these plastic sheets.
So I actually bought the track as well.
So I installed the track,
and then I installed the lighting inside that.
I had to solder in a little bit of wire as a joint,
so it would be able to go around the hinge
when I open the bed,
and then of course,
goes back into more track lighting.
So this goes all the way around to the other side.
Let's take a look at it with the lights off,
because it looks pretty cool.
Beautiful under lighting.
It's very fun.
All sorts of colors.
It comes pre-programmed
in the remote with a whole bunch of different colors.
I actually often like to use red before I'm going to sleep.
It makes it easier for you to fall asleep,
blue lighting is going to keep you awake a little bit more.
But if you're not trying to go to sleep,
then it has just so many colors.
Party room! What!
While I've got the lights off,
I can show you another handy little thing.
It's got these two gooseneck lamps that I can turn on.
These are just nice little reading lights.
You can control it from one side.
If you find that it's too bright,
they're actually dimmable as well.
So if I just hold my finger on it,
it can get brighter.
Tap it again and hold, and it gets dimmer.
Both sides of the bed have an outlet with two plugs
and 2 USB ports.
It's very convenient for anything you may want to charge
or leave plugged in on your bed.
We've also gone ahead,
and included some cup holders on each side.
Sometimes, you just get thirsty.
It holds it really nicely,
and the cup holders are collapsible.
So if you've got nothing
in there, you don't have to worry about accidentally
bumping into it as you get in and out of the bed.
I also have a couple
of speakers built into both sides of the bed,
and the controls are built
into the center of the headboard here.
[Music]
The speakers are set up so you can either use an aux cord,
or you can just run it all through Bluetooth.

Casper foam mattresses.
They sleep pretty cool.
You don't tend to over heat in them,
like you doing some kinds.
I however actually tend to run fairly cool anyway,
which means that I like a little bit more heat.
So what I've done is I just have a heated blanket all over my bed
underneath the cover,
and the control for that just sits right here next to my head.
The cord is running under the mattress to here,
and then the power cord comes down.
I have two power outlets on the top.
But I've also added power outlets on the inside of the legs here.
This is partly because I've covered
up the outlet in the middle of the wall behind the bed,
and I didn't want to make it
so you can't use it anymore.
So I've wired both of these,
there's one on each side, into that center outlet,
and so we still have power.
You know, if you're vacuuming the room or something like that,
you need to be able to plug stuff in.
Or if you have a heated blanket on your bed,
you need to be able to plug it in somewhere.
That's why I've also added some outlets here,
and I did put them on the inside
so that they aren't really obtrusive.
They don't get in the way.
You don't see them too much,
but they are there when you need them.
I've added 4 workbench casters on to the bed.
2 here in the back,
and 2 on the inside of the storage box.
Workbench casters are the type
where the wheel is actually not in contact with the ground.
It looks like it is because of this carpet is pretty thick,
but the wheel is not in contact with the ground
until we engage it.
When we do that, the wheel engages,
and it actually lifts up the frame that it's on.
With all 4 casters engaged,
tt's possible to actually just roll the bed a little bit.
It's not a great system because it is on carpet,
and it's still really big and heavy,
but it's a lot easier
than if you didn't have those on there.
With that pulled out, we can also take a look
behind the bed and see what's going on.
Here are the plugs,
and you can see that this outlet would really be
pretty inaccessible for behind this bed.
So what I've done is I've set up everything to be wired
into the bed itself.
One plug is coming into this big old power strip
that I have attached with these two makeshift brackets,
and most everything plugs into that.
We've got our to bed lights plug into that.
We've got our speaker system plugged into that,
and we have the under lighting all plugged
into this power strip.
The other plug is
what's powering the 4 outlets going around.
The outlets aren't on the same circuit as the speakers,
the lights, and under lighting.
They have their own circuit,
and it just goes all the way around.
So the 4 are on one circuit.
Obviously,
I can't run too much power out of all of them at once,
but they're mostly for things like the electric blanket,
or charging my laptop overnight.
You can also see I've got a little piece
of foam right here.
This is a furniture slider,
and it's just to make sure
that if the bed does touch the wall itself,
it's not going to I should have too much.
Quick note about the bed frame,
first off, thanks to my friend Travis for helping me come up with a design.
Second, if you are interested in building one of these for yourself,
I have posted the SketchUp file design
of this bed in description for the video.
It doesn't have instructions on how to build it.
It just shows you all the pieces,
and where they go.
You will have to do a little bit
of figuring out of how to attach everything yourself.
Thanks again to Casper, for sponsoring this video.
