Been a while since I made one, but I like the Häfele hardware. Start your search for hardware at the link below. Slainte.

Got mine from Rockler. It's the type with hydraulics, not springs.

Built mine 13 years ago. It has held up well. Lowers and raises with one finger.

Tip: These things need fairly thin mattresses, not to overstuffed ones that are so prevalent today. Also a good idea to leave sheets on when closed, but store away thick blankets, etc when closed.
