Take two wooden pallets and join them according to the length of the mattress.
Remove the wooden slats that are longer than the mattress.
Fasten the two pallets together using nails and add in three support slats (on the sides and the center).
Drill holes in the four corners of the wooden pallets and attach strong ropes. At this point, you are ready to position the swing bed under a selected tree.
