Sorry for not responding earlier but not checking back enough. I hadn't got many questions.
I don't know if you can see it but I used shelving rails and clip brackets that Lowes/Home Depot sells for closets, shelving, etc. I wanted to be able to easily take the entire bed for the access space. This way I can raise and un-clip the bed from the rail and take it out. It is a little hard to do alone but easy for two people.
There is a 4 inch board screwed to the shelf bracket then the 1/2 inch plywood (24x75) are hinged together. This allows it to fold up with the mattress in place.
My frames are 2x2's with 1/2" plywood and 2x2 legs. These are amazingly strong. I am 230 lbs and no problem.
The lower bunk is just high enough to store a tote box under and it works for a seating bench/couch. It has three legs that are hinged to fold out not having to be removed.
The upper bunk is as high as possible for a kid to seat up there and still be able to fold a 28 inch wide mattress. It has one leg and a latter at the other end. It is high enough and wide enough that a fold-up cot fits underneath when we need a third bunk. The upper bunk legs are bolted on and off.
The mattresses are 4 inch foam 28x75. I ordered a queen size foam and cut it to size which was cheaper than two single mattresses. We made our own covers.
I hope this is helpful. If needed I can take more photos for y ou and maybe a sketch.
