DIY Sofa Bed

This DIY Sofa transforms into a bed and is way more comfortable than most convertible sofas since the design is based around a Tuft & Needle TwinXL mattress. The padded backrest is completely DIYed and doesn’t require any sewing. This entire DIY Sofa Bed was made from 3 sheets of ¾” plywood, some 3/8” bolts, finish screws, ¾” EMT conduit and 3-1/2” pool noodles.
I used the linen sheet set also from Tuft & Needle in slate as the sofa cover.

You are so creative when it comes to modern, plywood furniture! Also creative in bypassing sewing! It is modern, functional and multi-purpose! Love it!

[juiice]

This build is awesome. Simple, practical, unique and good looking. I also appreciate how you’ve edited the video, I often find the pace of these kind of videos too slow but you nailed it. That wasn’t supposed to be a pun.

[tequiemo]

Can’t stop watching your vids. I get my house soon. That’s means I’m doing everything I see here lol.

This is way better than your last video. Its functional, meets a specific need and is a good design for cost effective diy - better than a plywood desk for 1k $$$ costs. Thanks!

I love how you cut the plywood using 2x4s under the plywood. Great idea.

Top tip for glueing sheets together is to use rock salt between the sheets it bites into both and stops the shifting

I like this project - no fancy tools needed.

[sharletniddow]

Looks like a lot of hard work so just take your time and enjoy it. I really liked the pace of the video.

This is what I saw:
"Drills and Sanders and cutters? No problem!
Sewing machine? Count me out!"

I really appreciate the simplicity of your working space. Thanks for sharing

Really cool. Love the little touches like the plywood "washer".

[nicolecorry]

Great project! Love the modern look. Maybe make it a little taller to place a roll out bin underneath to store pillows and duvet?

[TracksWithDax]

Sweet build Ben! Whoever says plywood can’t look good has no clue what they’re talking about

[adamshaheer]

Very cool. What if the back rest turns into a neat side ledge where you can keep stuff when in bed mode.

[neilf]

As usual. Very awesome and practical. Love it.

[DAMDO]

I love the platform. I would like the sides a little higher.

[Jeremymidgley]

Just wonder .... is there adequate lower back support ... it does not look like it. Great projects and demonstrations as ever.
