How much would it cost to build a sturdy Loft Bed?

I'm in a cramped room and I'm looking to build a loft bed. I'm a big guy (6 foot 1 inch and about 200) so I want it sturdy. How much would lumber cost me? I have everything else at home (hammer, screws, power drill, saw, etc. tools in general). I've been seeing loft beds for $500 average... and the ones below 300 looks like they're going to break with me on it. I understand that it depends on the height and everything, but I'm just looking for an estimate of how much it would cost me. Help please?

Update:

Can you also tell me the pricing for a twin and full size mattress?

    you can build a very sturdy bed from construction lumber. total cost should be around $150. plans can be found online, but i prefer going to the library and checking out a book. plans are fine but books come with plans and explanations on how to assemble and in what order to to things.
