• For bed bolts, I use a 6"-long steel bed bolt. In general, bed bolts have a V square head, a 15/i6"-diameter flange and 16 threads per inch.You also will want to purchase a bed wrench that makes tightening and loosening the bolts easy. Call the companies above for pricing, shipping information and availability.

• For bed irons, I use 3" x 6" irons.These are made from V4"-thick steel that is 1V' wide. Use three irons on each side rail for full, queen or king sizes. Use at least two irons on each side rail for a twin mattress.
