How to build a wall to wall sunken platform bed

Hi, I want to build a wall to wall sunken platform bed. Would it be smarter to build the whole structure in wood or use a metal bed frame and then build on top of that? I want to recreate a similar look to the photos below.
Thank you,
Erin

    This will take a lot of head scratching to find the design that best fits your space. I like the one that has panels that lift to exspose storage compartments. My overall concern- how to change the bedding? You could incorporate a motorized scissor lift but that would add considerable engineering challenges and significant costs.

      My thoughts exactly! But, I love the look and functionality of the bed. Plus, the bed would be in a converted garage with a high slopped roof. I want to do this on the cheap but your observations are spot on. Thanks for the reply.
