You Tube search SketchUP. You need a little bit of learning before start making anything in SketchUP.

Google search. Find a picture of a bed like the one you want. Make a screenshot. Post it here. (MWSnap is a good, free screenshot utility.) Or make a rough sketch, snap a picture and post that.
Decide on the dimensions. Include them with your picture.
Experiment with Sang, learning the basics of looking around. Use the Hand and Orbit tools. Zoom in/out.
Learn the basic tools. Draw Rectangles. PushPull them into 3d.

Check back here if you're not started toward that bed.

My mom taught me how to make my bed.

Seriously, I would take a look on Google Sketchup 3D Warehouse, download some bed models and see how they were constructed. That and the other wisdom given by the SU gurus/sages.

Have fun!

Hi Gentle_Devil, hi folks.

I would suggest going to this address:

http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/training/videos.html

Try spending a few minutes watching at least the basic video tutorials to grasp how SketchUp (SU) works and what it can do. Investing a few more minutes or hours to watch the whole serie is not a bad idea either. Searching YouTube for more SU tutorials is another possibility.

By the way, it is very easy to access this page and many others from the Help menu of SU. It is probably the most overlooked menu item of this software.

If, after that, you are still puzzled on how to draw a bed, post back here and I am pretty sure that someone will make a short tutorial to get you started.

Just ideas.
