Are their any good guidelines for this?

Its all about proper construction technique. Wood strength tends to be
important but not as much as you would think considering the fact that Water
Beds are held up by Pine sticks stapled together.

Well, like I said, I kind of winged the last one. Apparently I didn't
do enough math. Looks like in places I was short by an easy inch of
wood for some of the supports.

I also went radical and designed it as 2 rails with feet that where
joined together instead of a more traditional head and foot with 2
rails.
