Ok, so here is what I have come up with.

Any tips, advice, etc.
What lumber should i use?

Depends on how crazy you wanna make it. I have a platform for my bed thats simply 2-2x6's going across the bed sitting horizontally on the rests and a sheet of plywood that screws to it. Theres others that use the 2x10's vertically for more support.
