Further, the bed extension platform system can further include a plurality of second straps, wherein each of the plurality of second straps are adapted to secure each cross-bar to a bed frame.
1 . A bed extension platform system, comprising:
a first set of planks comprising a first plank and a second plank;
a second set of planks comprising a third plank and a fourth plank;
a first cross-bar member secured to each opposing end region of the first plank and the second plank from the first set of planks;
a second cross-bar member secured to each opposing end region of the third plank and the fourth plank from the second set of planks; and
a first strap and a second strap securing the first set of planks to the second set of planks, wherein the first strap and the second strap each extend from the first plank to the second plank, from the second plank to the third plank, and from the third plank to the fourth plank.
2 . The bed extension platform system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of third straps, wherein each of the plurality of third straps is adapted to secure the first cross-bar member and the second cross-bar member to a bed frame.
3 . The bed extension platform system of claim 2 , further comprising a first cushion member or a mattress.
4 . The bed extension platform of claim 3 , wherein the first cushion member is supported by at least the first set planks and the second set of planks from below.
5 . The bed extension platform of claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of second cushion members, wherein each of the plurality of second cushion members are smaller in volume relative to the first cushion member.
6 . The bed extension platform of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of second cushion members are disposed adjacent to a long side of the first cushion member, such that a top surface of at least one of the plurality of second cushion members and a top surface of the first cushion member are substantially within a same plane.
7 . A bed extension platform system, comprising:
a first plank and a second plank;
a first strap secured to the first plank and the second plank from below, wherein the first strap is disposed between the first plank and the second plank, and wherein the first strap extends along a length of the cross-bar member; and
a plurality of first cushion members having one or more varying thicknesses, wherein the plurality of first cushion members are adapted to be disposed adjacent to a long side of a second cushion member, wherein the plurality of first cushion members and the second cushion member are supported by at least the first plank and the second plank, and wherein a top surface of at least one of the plurality of first cushion members and a top surface of the second cushion member are substantially within a same plane.
8 . The bed extension platform system of 7 , further comprising:
a plurality of second straps, wherein each of the plurality of second straps are adapted to secure each cross-bar to a bed frame.
