[@Dcwood1979]

At the slats that pull out. Maybe consider adding a stop so it won’t pull out all the way. Doesn’t have to be at all but maybe in the middle and the two ends.

[@bigger680]

Nice job I was looking for something like this for my cabin. Your instructions were easy. Might I suggest you put a 1x4 on the underside of your pull out slats that way it won't pull out when you fully extend it. Other then that great job.

[@k.devlyn5398]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It would stablize the slats AND be a great stopper

Yup, I was just about to leave this comment 😊 I would add using a stop for the two sizes as well.

[@DavePettittVoiceOver]

You did a great job on this. The carpet makes it a little difficult, but I wonder if the slide was built out in more of a box with casters on the bottom, if it wouldn't roll a little better. It would also mean you could talk out the middle support in the sofa section and add a 2x4 to the back end of the pullout, so it wouldn't pull all the way off. We're going to work from this design and make one for our cabin. Thanks for posting!

[@Agoodname4u]

I absolutely love this idea! I would use it with a futon cushion/mattress. It can be folded so that half if it is a sofa back and then pulled down flat for the bed option. Thank you for sharing this wonderful design- I really hope we can build our own version that’s very similar!

[@7devilfurb]

@Incurable Romanticist I used danish oil like he did in the video....turned out better than I anticipated honestly

[@davidj1436]

Just did the final assembly today. Overall a nice product. My main motivation to use the design was I don’t have much time right now so is an easy quick solution. I do have it setting on felt feet, which helps the front in sliding, as well as an arm on both sides. We are using a futon. In the short term I am using additional pillows when in the upright position as a 90 degree back is a little uncomfortable. Since I have carpentry and metal working experience, am going to modify the back so it is angled and that angle is adequately supported. I think it will compliment your original design. Well done!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Hey man, just was absolutely awesome. My kid is going to need a new bed definitely in the future. Going to keep this one in mind

Sweet! So far my daughter loves it, or maybe that's due to it being new and she is curious lol.

[@rwkayser]

This is an excellent transitional bed from youth to teen. Several years ago, I built a 5 feet high platform bed for a granddaughter with a play area underneath. Two more granddaughters later, we are in need of space as the oldest is growing out of the playroom stage. This bed conversion would fit well underneath the existing platform and accommodate the two younger tykes handily in one room. Fast forward 9 years, and the youngest will inherit the bunk with an underneath couch as the oldest moves on to college... You come up with some very convenient ideas for confined spaces Glen. Thanks.. and keep the videos coming!

I have a small home and no place for a guest to sleep. This is perfect. Compared to what I would pay for a (quality) store bought futon, I can use the extra money for more projects. This video was easy to understand and I appreciated the tips (do’s and don’ts) Do you have any suggestions for turning a (cheap) 3 season porch into an extra (insulated) bedroom?

[@cherylsxavier2975]

You can make that patio into a beautiful room by using 1/4 inch plywood sheets to enclose the whole walls. Then frame a window and bam. ☺ If you cant afford to do it all at 1 time enclose the bottom half all the way around the room and add the rest as you can afford it. Thats what im fixing to do. You can add a beautiful storage area off tje back of your house the same way too!

You could also add a drawer under the part that pulls out to store linens. Also foam from joannes is a great option for the seat. Cut to fit and cover with safety pins attaching fabric to the bottom (out of site), or if you're handy, sew a cover (ain't nobody got time for that). Very cool build sir!!!

It can transition to a guest room when she grows up and moves out, or she can take it with her for college, and move up to a full if she wants. Right now she's want to ditch her traditional type queen size for more bedroom space. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and skills!

[@spirittravels.]

This is a fantastic build. Perhaps it can be fine tuned for storing a single mattress underneath, or even a double, which could bend up into be used as the back cushions even?

[@Bumbeltz]

I feel like you could probably buy two twin size foam matrasses and use one for the sofa cousin and cut the other one up for back and arm rest. Might have to take that into account when building thou. Great project, I like how you show that it is doable even without tons of fancy tools

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

Teresia Lidin, exactly right! And then keep a memory foam topper and the rest of the bedding rolled up and stashed in a trunk or closet during the day. (The topper will help make the gaps less noticeable.)

Love this idea for a vintage camper I'm currently working on. I'll repurpose 2 fairly new twin xl foam mattresses, cut 1 in half lengthwise, and use it for the back cushion. Depending on the size I cut, I can go either full xl or queen. With slight modification, I believe I can also add a twin bed lift to it and have much needed storage under.

I was fixing on building a sofa/screen room deal for my office and this pops up on the feed.

Pride and Envy, oh yeah!

[@marytims1730]

Love this design! I wish I had someone to build this for me.

[@ronniecaron6827]

nice design. thanks. suggestion. 1.find the cushions first then do your measurements for the sofa. 2. have your lumber yard cut everything to size. not that expensive & you save time and no mess to clean up. 3. put stoppers (engle irons) on the bottoms of the planks that pull out so you don't pull them off the track. 4. put teflon sliders under the pull out piece for easy slide and no marks on the floor.

[@Kimoto504]

The trick is that it's designed to a bed's dimensions, not arbitrary cushion sizes. If it's to fit a full bed then the sofa seat has to be at least half the width of a full bed. If a twin bed, at least half the width of that bed. There's a little fudging possible in both cases, as the seat can be a a little bigger with a shorter slide so if you luckily find cushions bigger than half your target bed size...

[@recoveringsoul755]

My son is 6'5'. the closed in ends would be an issue. This would be great for a custom size bed, just have foam cut to the right size, make covers and sheets for them. Too bad dimensions weren't given, but people can look up standard size beds for twin, full, queen etc. Not CA King because they are longer. Then make a coffee table with storage for bedding and pillows.

[@Kwoooke]

I love this built!!!! I just have one question. if I already have a small space, when I use it as a Sofa, where do I put the mattress?

[@smithy4121]

I just put this as a comment (at the end). You'd have to work out the measurements to see if it would work but it would be a permanent solution for a regular use bed that would take up no more space. You could just store the pillows and bed linen underneath. Thats fantastic! If you want an idea for the cushions you can buy mattress density foam/sponge I don't know what you call it in the US we can buy it from large fabric shops though you might have to go somewhere else for ones that size. You can get the foam for the base cut to the width and length of the sofa/couch when its closed. You can then get the back cushion cut in one piece also hopefully the height that fills in the rest of the bed when it's pulled out. Then either sew cushion covers for the foam out of upholstery fabric or get a seamstress or upholsterer to do it for you. If you go for removable cushion covers made from machine washable fabric you will be able to wash them. It would probably also be considerably more comfortable than putting an air bed on and make even the cushions part of the pull out bed. Just don't go for foam that is too soft or not dense enough. Hopefully the people selling it can advise you I don't understand density My mum and dad have a foam mattress (not memory foam) and it is over 30 years old and has only started to get less comfortable the last few years. Its been vacuumed steam cleaned and all sorts many times.

[@crazykiko96]

@@smithy4121 You could use a futon cover. When the bed slides out the futon will fall. Or... You could fold the futon for extra cushion when you're sitting and then unfold it when you lay. That might give a seam in the cushion though.

[@amateurartistes5403]

you should put pieces of wood under the slots so it wouldnt fall off if you pulled it too hard

[@dreadpirate1337]

diego arias was thinking the same thing 🙌🏻

[@Wannaspeed]

Same thought, wood or angle iron pieces to create a stop.

[@andrewdrozd847]

The problem with that is the sliding section has to pass the center seat support beam. You could put ears on the sliding section slats that sit in the spaces between slats, creating a T shape, and put stops on the top side of the front support beam. Only improvement I would add to the design.

[@Wilson84KS]

yeah, just three pieces of wood on three slides and make small cutouts in the middle support beam and put a screw on each side of the cutout, no strenght is lost but it can slide out way further without being afraid it moves away at night, the stops doesn't need to be high, two, three centimeters are enough, the weight from the top keeps them where they are. But man that thing looks so nice, I think google read our minds, I'm planing all the time to make my own couch, but I can't remember searching for tutorials and now I get this one recomended xD And it is even better, this way I could have living and sleeping room in one and use the second one as working room and closet.

[@flavarz]

Agreed! My thoughts exactly

[@MR-ir3rl]

I've been looking for something like this for my apartment! However, I think adding some storage capability underneath the sofa/bed would be extremely helpful. Especially for me since I have no storage/cabinets and my closet is tiny!

[@pollyjetix2027]

I was thinking the same thing. It seems to me it should be quite easy to create a storage space down there.

[@riftalope]

I was thinking the same thing. A simple plywood L on the floor and attached to three (left, right, center) of the boards. If you do that put 1/4 inch thick by one wide running rails under the box for ease of movement. That or casters.

[@mrs.noneyabuisness5025]

I would've lowered the slates basically an inch in a half off the floor so the "cushion" can be a folded cushion. So it would fold into seating and then unfolded to make a twin/queen bed. That way the cushion can be pretty thick and have space so it wont overlap the backboard of the couch. So it will basically be a folded matress sitting inside(the lost underneath space) so there wouldn't be lost storage space underneath. If that made any sense 😐

Didn't know you do bed. Too got to see what else you got with creative ideas you just help me to accomplish what i needed to help or how to come out with what I couldn't have before

Really Nice! I really love wood furniture, I'm definately not a Modern deco type person, like my place to look homey and comfy, that modern stuff just seems cold to me. This sofa/bed is Great! Wish I was handy at carpentry.

This is freaking awesome. Im definitely making my own bed/couch instead of buying one. Talk about quality, price, and thought! Thank you for the plans and ideas brother!

If you or someone in the family can sew? Then you can make your own cushion's!
