Nice job. I’m working on a CA king size myself. I don’t see the side rails.

I built a cherry sleigh bed that size several years ago, raised panels, very similar. I know how interesting the glue-up is . You’re doing great work.
As for side rails, mine’s a fake. The box spring is on one of those free standing metal frames. The bed frame, pretty much like Bob’s fits around it so you’d never know but the wood structure supports no weight and is under no strain.

Nice bed!
I have a question. I’m finishing making my first bed frame. It is a mission style queen. I’ve built the side rails, headboard and foot board. I made super strong 1” rails inside of the bed frame on all four sides (dado, glued and screwed every two inches into the frame).
My thought was the box spring can rest on all 4, inner 1” rails on the insides of the bed frame. Do I NEED to put stretchers for support across the bottom of the box spring space? I figured the box spring is made of wood and could sit inside my bed frame, on the strong edge rails I made. My bed frame is super strong. Am I off base here?
My first bed,
Scott

Sorry i do not know. I did not finish that part of the bed and left the bed on existing metal frame.
But if you look at a metal frame setup there are not alot of crossbraces. So i thing that box springs are made tod be self supportive.

Great looking Bed Bob.

I’ve seen folks do what your talking about but if it were me I’d at least put some 3/4” slats every 12-16” so you don’t have to rely on the box spring.
