Hi. Sorry, I should get all my thoughts together and post all at once.
We could easily do with just a queen size mattress in here. We currently have the king. Has anyone (well, I know someone has ) simply replaced the king mattress with a regular (not rv) queen size mattress? There must be a few inches of plywood (mdf) left showing on the length and width of the board that the mattress sits on. Does this result in a problem getting in and out of the bed, know what I mean? Cutting at your legs. How have people solved this? Or just cut down the plywood (mdf) to the width and length of the base and leave the base as it is?
Is there any particular reason for the modifications to make the current kingsize bed base into a queensize, and not just change the mattress? Or do people do it mainly for more room in the bedroom? We have enough room, really. And we have a lot of storage room under the bed currently and don't want to lose that.
Seems to me the bed would be easier to make up if the mattress wasn't so close to the walls at the upper sides. And regular queen sheets would fit nice and snug. And we'd save on the price of a queen vs the price of a king.
Your ideas and experiences would be much appreciated! Lorna
