King Bed to Daybed conversion modification

The client of the king bed conversion offered me a challenge. She had purchased an adjustable bed and wanted it installed in the daybed. The new bed frame was a few inches longer that the existing daybed, so I had to do some widening of the headboard and scrap the storage compartment under the bed and attach everything to the metal adjustable bed frame.

The bottom storage compartment and sides were removed and 2x4 studs were connected to both sides. They were braced together with the headboard with  some 3/4" pine shelving board. The removal of the sides left some bad sections of wood so we decided to use some pre primed wood ornamental bead casing to cover it.

The sides were reattached to the outside 2x4's by screwing in from the back. The top end caps were repositioned out to the new ends of the headboard.  The top of the casing and exposed end grain of the old bed frame was sealed with Bondo  and sanded smooth. 2x4 blocks were secured to the bottom of the frame with bolts to act as feet and attachment points to the sides, front and back. A longer front board was attached to keep the mattress from from sliding out. Lastly the original ball feet were cut down and installed under the front sides. Still waiting to take a final photo after everything is installed and repainted.
