Poorfag here, is it easy to build a bedframe out of timber, if

Search Dave Wirth bed. I built his shelving. One seems a little bowed because the wood I used wasn't perfect, but I'm sure cross beams would have helped. My son and I laid on the shelves after construction to see how sturdy they were.

Use measurements that match the mattress you want to use.

Ikea beds are made out of the shittiest wood you could imagine, so I'd say yes. The only thing not wood is the middle support beam on twin and up mattresses. If you look up what Ikea uses to support mattresses, you could copy the linked beam thing they make to keep it from sagging. I did, and I didn't use enough beams, so it hurt like a motherfucker to sleep on.
