Bed Support

My wife and I started to notice that we were meeting each other in the middle of the bed at night.
Not necessarily a bad thing, but when it's not intentional, it becomes an issue.

After doing a little looking around I realized that the thin plywood being as the mattress base used was bowing in the middle. It had plenty of bracing and support for front to rear but not so much left to right.

So I installed a 2x6 across right where the pass through meets the under bed portion of storage.

I also attached a 2x2 post in the center going down, it sits on a small piece of plywood to displace the load.

Insulating under the bed

I realized that we were getting a lot of heat from under the bed thru the mattress.
So I got some foam board and cut it to fit and insulated under the bed.
It made a world of difference.
