Most doorways are 80". And hallways and stairways cause additional problems.
However you state you only need it to come apart for moving, like when YOU move, not to take it to parties and such. This does simplify things a bit.
I like to design things, and know how, I haven't built anything lately so perhaps I'd take this on. As such I have a few suggestions at the very least. If you were to commision me to build it I guess I would have to take my own advice. I see you are in FL, so I would endevor to make it UPS shippable. Coming apart, the length of the pieces would be the only problem, not weight. It could be broken down into smaller packages. Does anyone know offhand just how long of a package you can ship via UPS or for that matter something, anything other than truck frieght ? Perhaps I go find out later, but for now, deal with this.
Ever see a swingset ? Now I am fully awar that a swingset does not take that nuch stress laterally. The swing generally do not swing that way. However them kids on it do weight considerably more than their body weight when swinging. Even the usual swingset could be modified to take the stress. But you want wood.
Don't be afraid to use metal with the wood either.
So you start with the usual swingset type design, but the is special bracing. These braces could be used for more attachment points. To use the design I currently envision, it would be 2X6s. It may be up to double the width of the human body, and the top would be two 2X6s on edge.
Remember sawhorses ? They make the special braces for those, and on a larger scale, for buildings, which are designed for 2X6s and are quite strong. But you use bolts, not nails.
The width should equal the height, and there is more than one reason for that. To do suspension it is obvious the height must be higher than human height. But also, normal human body span between fully extended paralell arms is approximately equal to the person's height. This means that you would be able to restrain the sub's hands with their arms at full extension, whether suspension is the gam de jure or not. They could be suspended by their feet, and with their arms restrained in that manner, well just imagine it. I think you want this feature even if you don't use it right away.
This is not all that hard to do, and actually if you think about it, if you don't have really high ceilings, anything has to be able to be broken down and reassembled.
With attachement points at the center of the sides, you could have a couple of different frames, an X frame, and perhaps a square one for more fun, like this device I saw at The Grid-n-Orbit. This thing had straps for every part of the body, and how it is, there is no need for locks. I was looking at it thinking, yeah pretty cool.
Later when I saw it in use, wow. You unlock the bottom and the whole thing flips over freely. I mean in the direction where if your head is moving forward and your feel are moving back. When I saw her keep him in the face down position for like 10-20 seconds or so, I was thinking, he is really hoping those straps don't break. And they were worn out as a 100 year old saddle that's been in continuous use.
So you get your sub upside down on the frame, if you restrain their hands to the sides they will also hope everything holds, no matter what their level of discomfort.
Make it a little wider and you'll be able to suspend a sleepsack between the sides, but if there needs to be a breathing tube you'll need a method to keep the sub from getting tangled or pulled out. That can be as simple as a long tether anchored to the floor and attatched to a side of the sack, or you can tighten it up and there will be no turning.
This would be easier to do if you have a saw and can use it. I could then just make the top and the braces. I could send a template to use to cut the bottom of the 2X6s before putting the feet (or wheels) on.
I dunno, I might build it, and they will cum.
I just had to throw that in.
