Hi! When I made ours for "temporary" use about 30 years ago, I used half a sheet of plywood, quilt batting, spray glue, a stapler, and some pieces of a 2x4 for the legs, which we bolted to the frame. I used a pretty sheet for the cover. It has held up so beautifully, and looks so nice, we are still using it. It worked for me, and I've never been tempted to replace it. If you make the cover into a slipcover, you can wash it, too.
