Jens, 

A large pillow could be propped-up to cover the exposed holes,

or elevate the mattress.

Jens,

Minwax advertises a stainable wood filler.

http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/preparation/minwax-stainable-wo...

Have you tried Durhams Putty/Filler?

http://waterputty.com/repairs/

I've used this material, for many years, with satisfactory results.

Colorant can be added/mixed into the powder.

Jens,

Clever use of recycling old doors.

I got some old doors, from rehabs, cut-up the sections and recycled the old lumber.

Sure comes in handy for several other uses.

One big 'ol door was 2'' thick and clear ''pine''.

Flat doors make for nice work surfaces.
