Bought a new king size mattress which is about 18-20 inches. Frame bought plus mattress combined make bed really tall. Want a frame that will be closer to floor so don't feel have to jump up to it. Were thinking plywood or ????

Hey Bella, I build a platform bed for my own bed a few months ago, I just love it. I built the frame out of 2x6s and just put plywood on the top. It was a simple project that could definitely be changed to how high you want the bed. I have a temper pedic, so I just had the 8" mattress to consider (no box spring). http://www.grandmashousediy.com/build-platform-bed-frame-diy/
Plywood is fine if you plan to paint it, but if you want to stain and seal it, I would choose something a bit nicer. Visit a proper lumber yard to check out different options.
Hubby just set the bed on the floor (our dog is old and this way she doesn't have to jump).
Thanks for help
