revised the bed i was working on to better proportions, more like the original drawings, and trial and errored the headboard height for minimum height while still comfortable. added a center rail instead of a suspended support. but in doing so messed up the slat bearing--i think it will be beneficial to make the slats a connected system instead of individual pieces. the cuts are all a little too loose, i think im going to pack the joints with felt to make them tighter [in the mockup atleast] and dampen any creaking.

That's a damn fine looking dog.
I like the addition of the middle support, but have you thought about the possibility of varying the thickness of the plywood? It could be interesting if it were 1/2" one way, 3/4" the other way, and some hefty like 1-1/8" for the headboard. I guess you would need to calculate where the most force would come from based on your typical humpin' style.
The felt also seems like a good idea, then again, I like anything regarding felt.
typical style? marriage must be a boring monotonous bliss.
Make sure you compensate for uplift. And add some seismic clips. Thats anticipating an advanced user, but I'm sure you'll get there someday.

You realize your wife reads this... and I am sure we can count on her for an accurate representation... if need be.
