Will the oak 2x4 idea work? My wife is about to kill me over the cost of this bed. What was intended to be a cheap, easy mod is starting to get expensive quick.
Thank you in advance to anyone that can offer a solid solution here...

I'd consider having them wld some half inch plate in there instead of a subframe. I bet it'll run about a hundred bucks or so.
Where are you located?
