The easiest way, especially for one-offs, is by using
half-bridge/full-bridge
driver ICs.

A few companies make MOSFET driver circuits. If you don't need the
bridge to be fully on (100% duty cycle), and the supply voltage is
30V or less, then you have a choice amongst a few different vendors.
DigiKey carries Linear Technology's LT1162. Harris makes (made?)
them as well (I have used the HIP2500, but it has been obsoleted since
then). Those are the only ones if have played with, but there are many
others.

It isn't really hard to roll your own. IR especially has lots of good app
notes on this subject. But it's definitely easier to buy a driver IC.
