I know this has been on here for a couple of years, but I had to get on here and say that I watched the entire thing solely for the entertainment by the baby and the cat!! Wonderful video and this couch bed is fantastic!

[@platinumdragon7]

Thanks, be sure to check out other videos on the channel, there's new stuff all of the time.

[@mRheel87]

Your toddler was killing me lol he was determined to play with the futon!

[@jjabb]

Your baby determined to LAUNCH THE BED. Funny boy, he is grown now. Hugs to him.

[@carydebest361]

Great video, appreciate that you speed things up. Having your kid crawling around there was fun to watch. Good job

[@platinumdragon7]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@808buffy]

Top video, I lost my instructions and would have been lost without your help, cheers

[@shami11]

I am thinking to buy this sofa bed… seems pretty straight forward And I am glad you had a lot of help from the little man ……!!!!

[@oxilouis1523]

up date Is it comfortable in the long term?

[@RichardJoeLeonn]

Loved watching your little helper and of course, I need a tip on how to put the mat back on after we moved couldn't remember how thanks for everything :)

[@platinumdragon7]

We love it, no wear and tear or breakage yet. I think we paid around $300 because the mattress we got was one of the higher quality.

[@susanstutz538]

Cutest young family! We're considering this one and this helps :) Thanks for sharing!

[@leptitalbi]

I need to dismantle the lycksele, and thanks to you I got it! Cheers

[@platinumdragon7]

Hey, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching

[@DarkCid7777]

Thank you I had some trouble to find the proper way to put it together.With your video it really helped

[@jitkasoliman7580]

Thank you so much for this video. Was getting desperate cos didn't understand a thing in this construction manual!!! You saved me!!

[@pauljames6187]

Thank you ! we just bought one of these from a friend and didn't have a clue how it went back together!

[@platinumdragon7]

+Paul James thank you for watching and commenting!

[@GoldenToothBrush]

I'm thinking about buying one. Is it comfortable?

[@iamthemustard]

I was having trouble, but thanks to you, I finally have my bed! :D

[@platinumdragon7]

Glad you could make sense of it.

[@Sonia415]

I was thinking of getting this as a bed, I was wondering if it's comfortable?

[@iamthemustard]

I use this as my regular bed in my bedroom. It's not the comfiest but it gets the job done, considering the price.

[@kaakyirebadu]

Hilariously funny toddler!!

[@ErikBrown]

The problem I'm having is that I can't get it to lock in place as a couch. It keeps rolling apart. I can't understand how it might connect underneath....any advice?

[@waldogonzalez3798]

hi i got this bed but one of the parts broke on it it is the hook part were it bends i think its like a plastic hinge any ides of where i can get one?? thank you

[@platinumdragon7]

There are a few different mattress options. If you get a chance to go to ikea they usually have the different mattresses set up that you can try out. The one we have is comfy and you can't feel the bats underneath it. I think it was the 2nd highest prices mattress.

[@6bat6manz6thesh1t]

Platinum Dragon & Family how long did the mattress last you ? How often did you sleep on it?

[@platinumdragon7]

At 3.14 I had it backwards, I had to flip it around. It folds up a little awkwardly as far as I am concerned. I have to lift up about 1/3 of the way from the front and then push it back in against the wall. We don't convert it that much, so it's fine.

[@sbhd79]

The best part of the video is the little cute boy trying to climb it while the father assembles it. Here we go thru that all the time too

[@Titanusphoenix]

I always mess up when connecting the two parts. They just aren't alligned.

[@theonetimesailor9887]

Would you say this would be good for everyday use? Also what about the chair bed version, would you say that would be any good?

[@STRETCHALICOUS]

Thanks. I put a piece backwards. Got it.

[@GoldenToothBrush]

Can anyone tell me from experience what it's like to sleep on? How comfortable is it?

[@susanhall4604]

Thank you so much.

[@minkyblack]

how you do like it? we just got the lyckselle havet chair bed, but haven't assembled it yet...we have 2 of the beddinge havet couches and love them..

[@yweight]

Returned.mine to the store.to firm and left me in pain, not easy to put together at all especially with hole and s few alignment problems. a real hassle to pack back up and return it.

[@87RubyLove87]

is it normal that it closes that way at 3.14? there is no way to block it?

[@rachelk3259]

hahaha i love that baby he is so funny

[@j-fit677]

I didn't get my a baby with mine, hope i didn't leave it in the box!🙈

[@platinumdragon7]

Are you talking about when it's flat? For me the weight of the mattress seems to keep it flat and locked into place. Then when it's in couch form you push the butt-part back and it king of goes up and over the bottom rails and locks in.

[@mraider869]

Was it worth it? How's it holding up? & price?

[@joeyg2k8]

How many inches is that Mattress?

[@goldenblooms6672]

Is it comfortable to sleep on?

[@JayySimms211]

@platinumdragon7 is it the size of a full size bed... Btw nice video.

[@datgirlliz]

do the screws really go all the way cause the small things you put at the end of the screws only go up to a certain point at the screw and then you cant tighten it no more...

[@3nyx]

Video helped, thanks (7 years later lol)

[@vandersijp]

So funny.

[@jennclair9866]

yes. I Hope your baby is in other videos. educational and therapeutic

[@filsdabeille]

Très bon achat

[@janicewong7535]

Thanks for this! After 10 years, how was the product held up?

[@platinumdragon7]

Actually we ended up selling it 2 years ago. The only problem we had was one of the plastic clips that holds the wood pieces broke but I just made a fastener to hold it.

[@janicewong7535]

@@platinumdragon7 looking back, would u still recommend this product? I’m pretty much sold on getting it but appreciate hearing someone else’s reviews. Appreciate u replying so quickly to a stranger on the internet (:

[@platinumdragon7]

Yes, we liked it for the time we had it and then needed a change.

[@simahdenffer231]

Great👍🤩😂!

[@NadishaC]

I can't seem to connect the frame and double frame together the screw given is too short and doesn't reach

[@Antraeus]

I think the shorter bolts go elsewhere, near one end. You need the longer ones for those joints. I hope you sussed it. :)

[@platinumdragon7]

It's supposed to be a "full size" mattress. Seems a little on the small side but it's good for chillin out on.

[@crymp2057]

It actually matches the standard double mattress size for the UK (just 2cm shorter but 5cm wider)...

[@CareBearLover84]

Jayden liked the music

[@eirammmarie]

Hi! Thank you for posting this video. However it looks like you had some trouble to put it back as a sofa at the end of the video. I am having myself some troubles. Did you figure it out finally? (I know, it was posted a long time ago...) Thank you!

[@platinumdragon7]

+Marie Le Bihan you just have to put your hand under and lift up where it flexes in the middle

[@eirammmarie]

Thank you for your answer!

[@dlross173]

I know it's been a while since you did this video, but I'm having problems with my Lycksele fouton. The wooden slats on the bottom.keep falling off. I can't figure out how to put them back on. My movers put them on but didn't tell me how. Do you know how to put them back on?

[@platinumdragon7]

I don't usually have the slats off. They typically fit into black plastic rectangular holders on the sides.

[@dlross173]

@@platinumdragon7 Thanks. Mine are in the slats, but every now and again, one of them falls out. I don't know how to put it back in without snapping the wood in two. :-/

[@amitsidhar]

just bought one yesterday. how do get the whole thing to lock into place? the top of the bed keeps lifting

[@leeshpilrain204]

Did you figured it out?

[@amitsidhar]

@@leeshpilrain204 - Nah mate, I just sleep on it lopsided.

[@TheDowntownchick]

I just got this. I'm having a little trouble. It's hard to put up and down. I will leave it down probably 80 percent of the time. I sat on the fold and it pops up?

[@platinumdragon7]

Are you talking about like where it folds at kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSWeZKQl6h1aZom52s ? I haven't had a problem, I usually sit right in the middle if it's down.

[@TheDowntownchick]

Yes

[@TheDowntownchick]

Platinum Dragon & Family Where it pulls out to form a bed. Maybe I'm not pushing down hard enough?

[@marinazieglerviolin]

Hi, I’m thinking about getting this for my room and was wondering if its comfortable to sit on and sleep in

[@platinumdragon7]

My 1 tip, by the best thickest mattress they sell for it.

[@imaneloma1846]

Hi, plz did you try it ? is it comfortable enough to sleep on daily ?

[@dallai3615]

Once assembled is it possible to move the sofa around the house through the door if you want to place it in another room?

[@platinumdragon7]

I tried this recently. The only way is if you flip it onto it's side.

[@dallai3615]

@@platinumdragon7 hard but still possible? Then this is what I'm looking for :) thank you xxx

[@dallai3615]

@@platinumdragon7 so the legs cant be folded?

[@platinumdragon7]

@@dallai3615 No they do not fold.

[@patricialim6816]

What screwdrivers are needed for this?

[@platinumdragon7]

I honestly don't remember. They're usually allen wrenches

[@NomadAngie]

3:13-3:14 is the funniest part of the video.

[@marshwetland3808]

But the vid ends at 3 minuts.

[@shushabell]

Hi, we still didn`t overcome the problem of this item folding up on innocent people trying to lie down on it when flat - the legs are as required, everything seems to be alright - and yet. Help please (hillarious video by the way!)!

[@yuvalmoed]

The wheels in the back need to point outward. Look at page 4 of the instruction and note how they should be pointing. Maybe my smiple illustration below would help... _________ | | \ \ O O

[@jasmineblakemore7920]

Same!! Did you ever figure out the issue??

[@KelsiLeex3]

I have a rather awkward question... hows it like being “active” on the bed with partner? I’m planning to buy one for daily use with me and my girlfriend (both around 5’8 tall).

[@platinumdragon7]

I've got that question before. Yes, you can have sex on it. I would suggest getting the thickest mattress they offer though. Don't cheap out on that part.

[@KelsiLeex3]

The Platinum Family wouldn’t the bottom leg where the wheels are be moving up and down? Or make squeeky noise? I have a wood floor. Worried i would cause problem to my shared wall roommate.

[@platinumdragon7]

@@KelsiLeex3 those 4 front legs keep it stationary, but I've only used it on carpet.

[@KelsiLeex3]

The Platinum Family ah i see. Also, theres mattress option? It seems like this is discontinued. I found a new like used nearby so i plan to get that and put a mattress topper on top. Would that make it comfortable? Hopefully that would fit...

[@SinLikeFlynn]

Is it confy to sleep on?

[@platinumdragon7]

It depends on. The mattress. Get the thickest one you can afford.

[@Raccnnibal]

Kid rly wanted to eat those small parts

I'm under the 'Liked video's' that KZbin presumed we'd like! And I'm watching one video with a completely different title underneath, it's the title of the next saved/liked video that's coming. How absolutely weird!

[@Dawghome]

Whoops I was wrong, it's not THE next video, it's another 15+ or more along...can't figure this out!

The baby didn't really know what he was doing. Fire him

[@sokratessiou]

Very dangerous having the kid around. He could swallow anything!

[@TheSunshine7177]

It confused me bc you messed up on the leg/wheels and had to keep moving them around, perhaps edit?? Was difficult to see which direction everything was supposed to face especially getting the parts in the wrong place on an instructional video.. Made me lose patience and have to take a long break and I've been accused of being too patient..

[@philofblood855]

I hate it lmao

[@h54h52]

Could do without the music..

[@richardblack1588]

is it sturdy enough to have regular sex on ?

[@MrPuzzles]

This video is worse than Ikea's actual instructions. Couldn't see shit, even slowed down to 0.25. >:
