Joining 2x6s

Im attempting to make a loft bed for my daughter. I‘m planning on making the actually mattress frame from 2x6s (Douglas fir) to accommodate a twin size mattress. I’ve read about the varying ways of joining the 2x6s from pocket holes to bracing for decking etc. My biggest thing is strength because I know she’s going to have her friend up there so I’d like it support 250-300lbs minimum (just in case). Anyone have any recommendations as the best way to construct this frame? Thanks!
