Straight lumber is easy stop looking at 2x4's and upgrade to real wood go to Lowes/Home Depot/Menards and look at there southern yellow pine 2x12's which have less knots and are much straighter just rip them to size.
And instead of using 4x4's rip the boards down to 2x4 size (if you want) and then laminate them together after cutting mortises into them for the long stretchers which you can laminate full 2x12's into the mortises. If you really want to you could drill through the tenon's and put a lag bolt in it for a bit more strength.
