I enjoy watching your vids because you explain it in a way that non-woodworkers/carpenters can understand. Your projects instill confidence that anyone can build the pieces in the vids. Keep it up!

This is pure genius. The slats look stable and the lines are clean and modern!

This is exactly what I had in mind for my son’s bedroom! He currently has a queen size bed on a big bulky bed frame, but he needs more room. This will be perfect. Thank you for your very thorough tutorials!

Literally the only person to post materials needed as well as plans and for that, Im purchasing!!!

This was an incredible build, but MAN, seeing your solutions to things like how to clamp something so big was amazing

“This may not be a permanent solution” ... sir that’s my bed now 😂❤️

I have been checking this design out to use for guests. I have a small house, so I think this would do the trick. As usual, love watching your builds and really appreciate your amazing imagination.

After watching 3 videos, you sir are now in my top five fave YouTube channels!

Definitely building this. I can make my own cushions so that isn't a problem. Thank you for sharing!!

This guy is amazing. Love how he gives us the different options as well as obstacles/challenges that one may run into with these projects

[mariah]

I love how you're always looking to find ways to work smarter and quicker. You're such an innovator. Thanks for sharing this awesome build and all the tips that went with it. :-)

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.

I have a Tylosand with the sliding system. Nice to see it built. You can store the linens, blow up mattress under the slide out. Make the stay back slide out liftable...this is how my Tylosand works.

Just finished this project today! Took me the weekend but well spent! Thank you so much! Gonna use a futon mattress for it!

must.. fight.. the.. urge.. to.. turn.. my.. apartment.. into.. a.. wood.. shop.. arrgh!

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!

This crazy method you kept going through for fixing the bars was actually not the least crazy at all!!! It made me realize how to smartly get that done without a whole lot of measuring and probably false marks and slant bars that would get stuck pulling out the bed! Thumbs up!

Relocated for graduate school and have been searching for four MONTHS tryna find a store-bought apartment-size sleeper sofa but have been SO disappointed with the designs and costs and availability of what's being sold. Gave up on stores finally and just started the process of figuring out how I can make what I need for myself. Your video is the first I came across and it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this is excellent instructional video. I'm filled with hope about what's possible <3

This build is incredible man! It looks so good too

Love the production quality of your channel. There's nothing more annoying than an unplanned, blog style, diy channel. Ends up being boring. You clearly put effort into planning and scripting your videos. Great work!
