How do I bend plywood

[DaKraftNigga]

I am building a bed I want to know how to bend .25 inch plywood and make it stay. I wa thinking about soaking it in h2o and bending it with braces and allowing ti to dry and them remove the braces.

It all depends on the radius of the bend. I recently had great success with hardboard using the soak and brace method... and then spent 10 minutes working the bend with a household type steam machine (one of those that is designed to clean the furniture). There was almost no springback.
