Medium density fibreboard - it's processed timber, sort of like sausages
are processed meat (lets not argue the details). It's cheap and easy to
work (has no grain). And it looks nice once it's varnished.

I find that if you want to sit up in bed then about 3' is good. But I
have seen beds with about 18" clearance, which is just enough for
sleeping. Going without a bed base can  be a bit hard - try
putting the mattress on the floor and sleeping on that for a while. If it
works for you it'll save you a few more inches.
