Sliding Bed Ideas
All,
Our bed looks like the one pictured below. Due to the shelves/cabinets on the sides, it's very hard to make up the bed.
I'm thinking of adding a thin sheet of MDF or particle board over the base in order to be able to slide the bed down towards the foot in order to make it up. I have foam elevation wedges under the mattress to raise the head, so sliding the mattress by itself wouldn't be easy.
Does anyone have any ideas for rollers or something else to make it slide more easily? I don't want to raise the elevation of the bed much more, because the foam wedges already add some height to it. Plus, I'd like to keep the sliding portion as thin as possible to keep the weight down.
Also, has anyone done this without rollers (just thin plywood)? If so, is it easy to pull it forward? IMO, this would be better because the wood could be very thin, since it doesn't support any weight just sitting on the base.
BTW, we never use the flip up lid at the foot of the mattress, since the front of the under bed storage is open, so that's not an issue.
Thanks.
