I just got a Select Comfort/Sleep NumberŪ bed. While I'm not yet convinced it's the answer to my sore back in the morning woes (guess I haven't found my "number" yet) I am convinced that the platform that comes as part of the set is a real rip off-$400 for about $20 worth of injection molded plastic. I'm sure I could easily construct a replacement with some 1 x 6s, joist hangers, and a couple of sheets of 3/4 AC ply. If I go that route, and can return just the platform, I'd like to keep the weight down. I guess I could try some of the "I-beam" joists, but I'm not sure I can find any off the shelf in the size I need or whether that is the best choice. Any alternative suggestions? Thanks
