The MDF bed provided with the Ormerod is too floppy and is better replaced with an aluminium one. The problem is the complex cut-outs required (usually laser cut) to fit this on the bed support means that normal people cannot cut this. Therefore I have produced a one-piece bed support with a flat top enabling you to use any bed you wish with only simple drilling which can be more easily done at home. You can even use this support with the original MDF bed if you like by drilling 3 mount holes as shown in the photos and it does support the floppy MDF better. I have done this as I found my aluminium bed too heavy so I am drilling chunks out of it to reduce weight.
By making a the bed a single piece I have reduced manufacture time, increased rigidity, eliminated beam/back alignment problems and eliminated connecting screws.
