The bed frame is a platform filled in with sheet-rock compound.

“…there’s a few things left to do to the bed before it’s complete. I plan to build a shoji-like (probably more industrial than traditional) screen/room divider in front of the bed. I’m also planning to add a few coats of polyurethane to the chipboard top. And then there’s the 3 foot deep drawers that slide into the side.”
