If you wet it, plywood will bend almost in a 2" radius 180* without cracking. It's a PITA to steam large pieces, though.

You can use Lauan for your bed fairing, that bends pretty nicely with just a warm wet rag and a few minutes of working with it.

If you're semi-decent at wood-working, kerf-cutting your wood will also let you bend it and keep a smooth upper surface.
