That would make it look more like the original plans with less of the bottom mattress showing when they are stacked, but 1x10s will cost more and 1x8s will work just fine. So that's up to your preference! :) Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-43854999039711295742024-01-24T23:12:14.996-05:002024-01-24T23:12:14.996-05:00So glad to hear it!!So glad to hear it!!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-21327597815972521902024-01-24T23:11:49.444-05:002024-01-24T23:11:49.444-05:00Lumber prices have been insane the last couple yea...Lumber prices have been insane the last couple years - it's not just you!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-85232165938293287862024-01-19T21:28:53.469-05:002024-01-19T21:28:53.469-05:00Hi.

Do you know exactly what I'd have to change? just making the legs longer seems like not enough? If it is, do you know if I just add 3 inches since my mattress is 3 inches thicker.

My twins were 39x75x8, a few adjustments were made on width and depth, keep length the same as instructions. I only used screws, easier to remove if needed in the future. Very sturdy stacked or separate. These will be perfect in my spare room for guests. I’m going to make them for my cabin rentals too since they can be twin or king. Sanding & varnish will be done in the winter!

You would need to measure your mattress to verify the sizing you need, but my understanding is that an XL mattress is about 6" longer than a standard twin, so you would just need to cut your side and support boards 6" longer to accommodate the extra length. You'll also need to measure the thickness of your mattress and probably cut the legs longer to fit the extra height. Hope that helps!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098769340141865316noreply@blogger.com
