Solid innovative engineering looks comfy. Was wondering about the lack of back pillow but then you can just use a pillow ...

[@laurakampf]

Exactly!! :)

[@louisvictor3473]

Soft upholstery for your back and seat is really just embedded and non removable cushions.

[@kcjones679]

Dog doesn't need a back pillow. Looks like it's his now.

[@theptownpunk]

I love when you see your creation come together that smile;) and as I like to say the sweet smell of success,I miss having a shop,so much...good job

[@notredox2]

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "build contemporary furniture" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Venoffison Wooden Exploration - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.

I bought a large white trunk to store my infant niece’s stuff in kzbin.infoUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg , as she comes to my house frequently. For now, it’s toys on one side and diapers, wipes, and other baby care items on the other. As she gets older, it will be all toys. I had originally wanted a trunk with a hinged lid, but I was afraid of her smashing or pinching her fingers in it. This will be a much safer option. The lid has great padding in it and it is actually nice to sit on. It feels very sturdy and secure. Looks like it can be wiped clean easily. If it gets abused by her, I won’t be terribly upset because I paid less than $50 for it on Prime Day.

[@-droid-j7-225]

Her genuine joy when she finishes a project makes me smile every time

[@JockMcBile]

Yep.

[@leestimson12]

Yes her joy is infectious, I just love it. Always makes me more happy. Also love the projects btw.

[@alfaperez3061]

It makes me say: awwws:3

[@trimuktiyuliana3365]

:”)

[@dexv33]

The ratchet strapping for the hinge is a genius move. When I saw it come out I thought it was for frame gluing in lieu of a clamp, but that's just top notch, out of the box thinking. That's a great solution to a flexible panel joint to have in my arsenal.

[@databanks]

Agreed, brilliantly simple and effective.

[@ericdew2021]

and probably last a lot longer than traditional hinges.

[@adriyo2]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@J1I9M7M4Y]

This style of sofa/bed was very popular in Sweden in the 60´s to the 80´s. It is called Bäddsoffa in Swedish! Nice job Laura!

[@scoobysnack]

badsofa sounds epic - I shouldn't want it but I do.

[@uribove]

​@@scoobysnack it has an umlaut on the a making it an e sound, so literally bedsofa

[@scoobysnack]

@@uribove am aware thanks ;)

[@Kevin42White]

​@@scoobysnack lol.

[@blantondavis]

I can't tell you how many times I've used a paint can to draw a circle but I've never thought to then wrap sandpaper around the can to sand the result. Great trick

[@lyndabird9401]

I was the daughter my father taught to use power tools and help him build. Seeing Laura’s joy and confidence brings back all the memories of days in the garage with Dad. She is truly amazing

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

I love how this doesn't take up any more space than what it already is. No moving things to accommodate for extra foot print. Very cool.

[@WPGinfo]

Interesting details; Such as the 'top-lid' that folds and stores upright out of the way of the mattress. Nice!

[@frezzingaces]

Thats a real cool design! I like the way the mattress never has to bend, almost a neat alternative to a murphy bed.

[@heyimamaker]

This could be an interesting concept for a van build. Nice work Laura!

[@piccalillipit9211]

Its extremely similar to the seating in yachts

[@dougidoug]

That’s a really smart idea. Totally works. I like the book case built in too.

[@gus473]

Hey, Doug: great test pattern icon/avatar/logo! 👍😎

[@dwaynetube]

Again one of these brilliant but yet so easy ideas... "easy" as in "easy as soon as you see it done by somebody else" :-). Great idea!

[@offthehook4u]

This was brilliant. Clean design, great functionality, and no extra work to deal with bedding! Couldn't love it more! Wish I had the skill set and tools to build one myself!

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

Probably the happiest I've seen you when you've finished a project

[@00schralf]

I like those pieces of furniture where you have enough space to hide the bedding etc. and they still look good and not only practical 😁👍

[@laurakampf]

Me too! Thanks

[@evdru9028]

Brilliant, you should get them mass produced and sell them to a large Swedish furniture shop retailer

[@brantwedel]

What is the German equivalent of IKEA? ... I'm guessing it's IKEA 🤣

[@theandroids]

More like they’re already watching and filing a back dated patent with some corrupt official...

[@debchambers8563]

I would buy one!

[@minastirith997]

theandroids haha the truths is always funny

[@evdru9028]

Deb Chambers im sure you could make one

[@russframe]

A perfect space saver Laura - I loved the webbing hinge - a clear indication that every problem has a solution - and your bookshelf was inspired - can’t wait for your next project

[@adescon]

Hi Laura. just discovered your channel, like your designs. I actually slept on a bed like this in the military. Instead of making the backboard and top fold - only the top was a lid. the backboard rotated around an off center point and when not in the front position was snug against hte back . the lid stayed open . This way you have no lose parts and convert even quicker :-) . The backboard was padded as well making it a comfortable back support in the "down" position... Keep inventing

[@Ali-yu2pv]

This project IS AMAZING, you always make so many cool and well engineered stuff, definitely fav Diy channel

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Clever design. And I really like the book-box!

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

Laura, this is amazing!! Clever as hell, and a vintage, almost Sci-Fi aesthetic too (my favorite)! The way you constructed the bed frame part, you could almost make some small drawers for underneath, to hold extra blankets too!

[@mantaz603]

What I love most about this video is how happy you are when you get a step done. And then at the end you could tell how much you really loved having this project done.

[@seancalabro1228]

Did you know your program is therapeutically relaxing. The music, and you learn a skill every time. Completely inspiring. Your little buddy is trying to help!

[@howardbecdove9780]

Your dedication astounds me. So good to watch someone in the moment, enjoying what they do best. Bravo!

[@laurakampf]

I just love building stuff-I am so happy I get to do this all day every day!

[@esaedvik]

You have the goodest supervisor around.

[@Snoopy_59]

I slept in similar bed when I was kid ,we lived in Sweden at that time, it was easy to finish the bed before going to school. It's been a plan in my mind 2 to do a bed like this for guests.

[@123dexter321]

Brilliant idea! I specially liked the folding mechanism of the backpiece with the lashing strap. So simple but effective. Btw. Your dog is awesome!

[@suzanneschristie]

Such a beautiful build! Exactly what I need for my camper, thank you so much for sharing!

[@Jddlincoln]

That’s pretty cool. I have been a wood worker for 20 years. I am amazed at how simple yet how good your projects come out!!

[@manjanah5758]

Admire the storage facilities and the simplicity of the design. A fine cut between a sofa n a bed.

[@alsmith1025]

Absolutely love this. It give me so many answers to e problem i am trying to solver for a camper build i'm in the middle of. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@jcrefasi1]

Al Smith I'm interested in this concept for my van. I wish there was some way to fold the top over 1 more time instead of having to lift it and insert it into the frame when you are not very strong. Any suggestions?

[@DaRk_DoG]

Ingenious design, amazing skills and the filming is so clever. Well done Laura!

[@laurakampf]

Thank you!!

[@simonschulten3879]

My girlfriend had something very similar in her tiny college appartement a couple years back. Main differences were that the bed portion was on wheels and could be rolled forward to expose the mattress fully and, hence, the backrest was fixed. Not uncomfortable to sleep on - just too small for two people ;) I think I prefer your design as it gives you very convenient storage behind the backrest and converting to a bed does not increase footprint, which is important in tiny places. Also, her version had storage under the mattress, but I guess you could add this to your design in a pinch if you really wanted. Great video, keep it up!

[@bushman4124]

always great to see your expression when it works out, love the simplicity of the design.

[@dysartes]

Nice to see how excited Smudo gets about helping with product testing. :)

[@laurakampf]

Haha-that is his favorite thing...

[@fmgough]

Love this design and concept. You've inspired me to do something similar in my home office/guest room.

[@jasmine-ruff-puff9951]

I like how your furniture designs look cool while also having really neat functions.

[@diegoch04]

Your celebration at the end is everything. So genuine and humble. You are my favorite KZbinr. By far too.

[@anthonysharp9136]

I liked the technique of using the spraypaint can to draw the curve AND sand them. Well done.

[@reforzar]

I’m trying to think of a way to improve this and can’t. Brilliant.

[@Flako-dd]

Last couple of months you really knock it out of the park creatively! The idea also seems really adaptable to design variations. 💯🔥

[@MaximaToluene]

I imagined this in my head a couple of days ago, glad someone already did it on youtube!

[@DIYdiacsnFarmstead]

Nice Idea for the Hinge! Definitely going to use that at some Point in the Future :)

[@hazardousafe]

The sofa bed turned out amazing. Do you have any plans available for the sofa bed?

[@GCustoms]

Laura, this looks great. I love how you solve complex problems with simple solutions. Keep it up!

[@Charlielizard]

A masterpiece! Thank you for sharing. Absolutely simple, yet 100% functional. Love your videos. Thanks again. 👍👍👍

[@jimmydiresta]

[@laurakampf]

Thanks Jimmy ❤️

[@dekayscrafts]

Good design i like it =)

So good, Laura. I love it. And I love how proud you are.

[@stephanlottgen4944]

Sehr schön! Die "diebische" Freude in Deinem Gesicht zeigt wie sehr Dein Herz und Deine Leidenschaft an diesem Projekt hängt. Danke fürs Teilen! 👍 Eine wirklich klevere Lösung, die zum Nachbauen einläd. Du bleibst Deiner Plywood-Linie treu: einfach und schön. 😊 🙏

[@hshwhitten]

Dude, this rocks. There you have it folks Laura has done it again!

[@TheMattjudo26]

That hinge with the fabric is a really good idea! I NEVER would have thought of that!

[@Yngvarr77]

I remember this particular type of sofa beds from the Soviet times. They had same construction, just made out of chipboard and no fancy niche for books.

[@WilliamRoycoaching]

it is simple, clever, well done and looks like you had tons of fun doing it... sounds like a perfect project ! Congrats.

[@laurakampf]

I had such much fun building it!

[@bengully5076]

Amazing yet not overly complex. Innovative Love it. I love how you made a Place for pillows and blanket. Most softness your have to go store them and that’s a headache.

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

Bump into your channel woke up this morning to get ready to go to work looking for something to have a cup of tea and watch and I came into your channel love it love it I love to see women doing what work I do it as a hobby I'm inspired by you I will come back and watch the video fully and take my time kind of fast forward but I'm looking forward to viewing more of your video and taking my time alone watching it You are awesome🙏🏿👑🇹🇹🤗🇻🇨👍🏿

[@gilbertoassisdeoliveira]

In Portuguese, we would say it is BBB, (Bom, Bonito e Barato) good, beautiful and cheap !! I don't know in German ... 👍😀👍

[@Korschtal]

Next week I have an interview which will require me to move house,working as a carpenter with people with psychological and addiction issues. I think I've found my first private project (I've got to sleep on something...)

[@laurakampf]

Oh wow!

[@toucanproductions2935]

Wow! That design; simple, beautiful, functional.

[@sdgidney4139]

Laura, it was great to see you so pumped up about your awesome design. Yes, your design is beautiful and brilliant in its great style and innovation!

[@Shoodrik]

always a good idea it would please me one day to make a partnership with you on a creation, you who also like working bikes I think you might like it

[@bretgg44]

Curious...why would anyone ever downvote a maker's video? At the time of this, there are 216 people who did not like the video. Unless they invented the futon, naysayers should STFU and sit down. Great work Laura. I love the videos and appreciate what you do! By the look of all the Festool tools, you're doing pretty well for yourself!

[@sarahjustesen1305]

[@davebauerart]

Awesome! I was about 80% right about the folding solution, but yours was even better and easier. The hinge solution was brilliant!

I couldn't slam that like button hard enough. This was so good! Such a beautiful and wonderfully innovative design for something so practical. Thank you for the work you do!

[@BrooksSligh]

I tell you, I just love watching you work & build stuff. That looks like a really comfy couch/bed. Also those posters rule.

[@Engitainment]

That look of triumph and happiness at the end was awesome. Well done!! It looks wicked comfy and I love how easy it is to transform.

Thank you!!

[@sherryjensen1419]

The feeling of accomplishing something so bad ass is euphoric. Great job girl!!

How could people dislike this... Brilliant !

[@tammychristiansen4033]

Yes! Such great ideas and thanks for showing your process too.

[@richardhaggarty5758]

Amazing work.....and the smile on your face when it was done! Awesome!

[@Gomisan]

The joy of the build and completing your very own designs always shines through with you.

[@laurakampf]

It’s the best feeling and makes all of this hard work soso worth it :)

[@lgerback34]

That is some CLEAN building.

TEEHEEHEE! The design brings a smile to my face. Excellent work.

[@raynoladominguez4730]

The simplest of the most functional pieces show brilliance of the designer.

[@AlbertinhoVigo]

Oohhhh nice one Laura ,i LOVE It!!

[@marcothehammer]

Very trick! I especially like the way the "cover" hides away so completely and conveniently. The choice of hinge material is remarkably resourceful as well as clever!

[@ifssal]

Absolutely brilliant! Amazing work!

[@thesplinteredfinger]

You could tell how proud you were of that build, ingenious!

[@theandroids]

I love the happiness in this build video.

[@Freespirit5371]

Great job! This is a great design and I can see many applications for such a design! You have given me an idea and I believe you have provided a solution to a problem I have been working on. Thank you!

That’s really cool! Love the book holder on the side, too.

[@gemjamjones2656]

Love your smile every time you complete a section of your project, its inspiring me to finish all my half finished projects ❤️ P.s if you are ever thinking of running a weekend workshop, for people to do a small project and learn skills together - I would be in!

[@ipom2899]

Your happiness at the end of video made it more real!!! 👍👍👍

[@dkhallal]

The webbing hinge was “zuper shurn”! Stealing that trick! Really nice build.

[@JockMcBile]

Honestly, every DAMN time, I'm blown away by your ingenuity, and how beautiful your end products are. You have a problem and you design something so straight forward, and functional. I'm always like, holy shit, I want this in my place, by the end of your videos. Thank you, Laura.

[@laurakampf]

Thank you!!

[@minastirith997]

oh that’s absolutely awesome. I could definitely see this as a solution for downstairs bedroom in a tiny house.
