The Samurai dude builds his son a live edge slab bed in this
touching video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNT7BjPPnzc
Several comments questioned his placing the mattress on a panel
(instead of slats) which restricts air flow under the mattress
that could result in mold growth.
I question his judgment using walnut (splitting) wedges @ 4:35
tensioned against the horizontal grain of the headboard/footboard. I
woulda thunk the split repair @ 3:30 with the long screw should have
been a clue. What was he thinking?

That's a sweet looking table. But the feet look a tad to narrow for
the top if someone were to butt rest on the edge.

I've no doubt of that.

I guess the mold issue would depend on where you live. I've built 2 sets of=
bunk beds=20
and 2 platform beds, all of which have the mattresses on a panel, typically=
3/4=E2=80=9D plywood.
I'd estimate a total of 90 years of mattresses on panels and never a hint o=
f mold. The beds=20
live in the rust belt, not the desert, so maybe in a rain forest mold would=
be an issue.

The ones under the table look fine, the ones on the bed look like knee knockers.

Or possibly the commenters were insinuating the child might have bladder control issues?

Depends on the size of the a$$, the wedged through tenons would remain
unscathed, regardless.
