Trying to make a pallet bed

Okay so today has been a very frustrating day, I have been working on a pallet bed for about the last 3wks. For my daughters room, Well I decided to lay them all out today just to get an idea on how I was going to assemble the bed & that was when I realized that the boards on the pallets don't line up & some of the boards are crooked, now I don't know if that is how they're supposed to be or not but I didn't like that so my next step is, I guess I'm going to have to build my own from scratch, thinking about using 2x6's & 1x4's instead of the 2x4's like a regular pallet then I will be able to build it exactly how I want it! I will have to let you all know how it goes & maybe, possibly may be able to post a tutorial on how to build your own. Just so everyone knows, the pallet furniture is alot harder to build than I had thought it would be, mostly the sanding is the biggest pain & not being able to get the cross boards (the 1x4's) to line up!
