i would be very pleased, too. having it in my new home, right now at 11pm, here in germany :)
DIY Creators your awesome man. Love watching your videos. Hate how easy you make it look. Keep up the good work!
DIY Creators I need this so much
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.
Great work men! I'm your big russian fan!
“This may not be a permanent solution” ... sir that’s my bed now 😂❤️
Why dont you give megerement how to make sofa that would be nice apart from that I enjoy
@@everoldbloomfeild8264 It’s always better when you have megerement. I agree.
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 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!
That's a good idea for a parent and child project
Definitely building this. I can make my own cushions so that isn't a problem. Thank you for sharing!!
See my video "Ebco folding table" coming under the channel ".Sharuk the gamer"
Suggestions on videos/channels on making cushions?
This was an incredible build, but MAN, seeing your solutions to things like how to clamp something so big was amazing
This is pure genius. The slats look stable and the lines are clean and modern!
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
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. :-)
AWESOME build!!!! You did a fantastic job both showing what you were doing and explaining it as you went along, and the finished product looks BEAUTIFUL.
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.
It's been two years, did you build this sofa bed! I bet it'd be so fun to make!
Always like your projects. They look great, aren't overly complicated and you are really honest about mistakes and mentioning things to avoid doing. Keep it up! Big fan!
This build is incredible man! It looks so good too
I LOVEE the architecture of this bed. Such a modern feel 🙏🏾🙏🏾
After watching 3 videos, you sir are now in my top five fave TH-cam channels!
This guy could probably make bank doing furniture for tiny homes. This is genius.
We are updating or RV. This would be perfect.
This guy could make bank doing furniture period
Probably makes more doing videos than he would making custom furniture
I hope he makes BANK $$ from TH-cam because his videos are gold.
def better than IKEA
Very convenient! Thanks for sharing!
But storing the mattress is not convenient.
@@crzxm , maybe you chose another kind of mattress.
@@danmarcu7554 I only imagine.
Literally the only person to post materials needed as well as plans and for that, Im purchasing!!!
Love the way he works, stating the stress & happiness of the project & the material
Smart,really smart...keep posting those great ideas.
must.. fight.. the.. urge.. to.. turn.. my.. apartment.. into.. a.. wood.. shop.. arrgh!
I agree 😂😂 I love the smell of fresh wood
@@shllewis9 Morning wood? *badum tss!*
ha ha ha that is going to be me in a few weeks hopefully. I am aiming to purchase a battery powered portable jigsaw soon and go nuts with wooden projects. Dust and shit everywhere.
Ive already built my bed, my sons' beds, my dining table, and my coffee table in my apartment. I know what you mean.
Mine is slowly becoming one. I just built a platform bed today lolol
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!
I just bought your plans for my guest room. They are so easy to follow and having the video to watch helps too. Thank you so much!!! You do good work!
Where did you buy the plans
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.
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'm so glad this came across my feed! You did an awesome job with your presentation and your build... Kudos to you!💕💕
Love your design! I'm definitely going to build this sofa bed! Thank you for sharing your designs!
Great to see some real, solid DIY furniture. Thanks for all your effort
Super cute build👍😜😁
Very nicely done, something even I can make for my family room, great job, thanks for posting.
Great design! I've never liked pull out beds until I saw this. Awesome job - thanks for sharing it.
I LOVE multiuse ANYTHING. Very cool piece.... what a handsome man who works with his hands ❤ ...
i am blessed that i have found the best channel on youtube. keep it up!
thumbs up!, thumbs up!
Great video. I love how you keep it real and explain things in a simple way.
This is perfect! Will have this for when my son visits. Your detail and instructions were very good. Thanks for sharing.
Wuuuuuu! This would be the perfect piece for a craftroom /guest room! Genius Sir! I love this!
Fantastic BUILD!! I will be downloading the plans!!
Thank you
Just finished this project today! Took me the weekend but well spent! Thank you so much! Gonna use a futon mattress for it!
@Incurable Romanticist I used danish oil like he did in the video....turned out better than I anticipated honestly
Man, you are amazing. Great design, perfect realization. Hats off to you.... Thanks for sharing
Your designs are simple and any layman can follow, easy... yet neat and spacious in space management. Keep up the good job of making and sharing (teaching) with your videos. Stay Blessed!!
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.
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.
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!
Thanks for this video!! I watched it a few years ago... and just now realised that I can modify the couch that my great grandfather built, just a bit, to be as useful as this one that you made!! Whoohoooo!!
I keep accidentally finding your videos. But everything I find is just so perfectly my speed. You just have such amazing craftsmanship on such a real, human level.
You impress every time
You are the reason I am going carpentry school
Love this design! I wish I had someone to build this for me.
Enjoying your tutorials. Thank you from Toronto, Canada.
Ya really did great in explaining all the steps. Kudos!.🤩
this is sooo cool! youtube recommendation finally getting it right 👍🏻
I just came across your channel (I am new to woodworking). I look forward to tuning in...thanks! Great videos!
Brilliant! Beautiful, functional, and inspirational. Thank you.
What an Excellent project, finished like an IKEA futon .... Job Well Done !
Love this! It's perfect! I'll be building this for my 13 year old! Keeping it in Twin position, but I love that she can convert it to a sofa, if she wants, when she has friends over. 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!
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!
Hey, I love this idea! It's been two years since you commented this idea, did you get the change to build it yet!!
I was fixing on building a sofa/screen room deal for my office and this pops up on the feed. It looks so good but my favorite part is the pride I would have knowing my family uses something I built myself. Not to mention the envy others could have if they see it and are blown away. Pride and Envy, oh yeah!
Me too, and the reason i watch DIY is to build something for my wife and son one day. So that they would feel proud that i have done something on my hands for them... I'm a busy guy that run 4 business of my own and everything we need we just purchase, so to build something on my hands will be kind of unique for them.
Excelent idea! Beautiful design!
This guy makes me wanna build furniture and see what I can accomplish with his tips!!
I think I'm gonna build a cabin and furniture!!
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!
LOVE the suggestion of making the template to get the supports for the seat at a consistent height; it's that sort of creative thinking that I really want to get better at. Great build!
Dude you are the ultimate handyman! I’m looking forward to trying some of these projects👍
I'm only just coming across your channel and OMG! YOU ARE A LEGEND! Thank you for sharing such amazing creations ❤
You know I have been considering buying a Casper mattress, this may be just the solution for a support. Thanks..."your the man!!!"
Great build! This is giving me a lot of ideas for extra space I have in our converted attic bed room! This will do great for our "hang out" area
You make it seem so easy and effortless! Great job! We may be able to actually build this with your step by step instructions.
Very nice work, dude! Beautiful piece of furniture! 😀
Man, you're very talented!
Very functional, attractive design, simple pull out method. Lots of great tips and links. And very few fancy tools needed. I wish I had know about this when furnishing my daughter's apartment.
Bought the plans and altered them to be a twin size bed that slides out into a king size bed . I am so thankful for this overly descriptive video and the plans to work off of ! Thank you !! I wish I could post a picture of my results ! It looks awesome and I love it !
That's awesome to hear, you can send them to me on Facebook, IG or send me a link to it.
your video making skills are as great as your craftsmanship!
I enjoy your builds and videos, nicely done.
nice. space saving ideas. enjoyed watching n taken still photos too. Thanks for this great video.
You have solved all my problems. You’re a genius! Thank you! This channel is just what I needed in my life 🥳
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
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.)
I was waiting for this😍
That looks so nice. I would love this in my living room. Great job!
Beautiful brother, absolutely amazing!
Pretty cool for a college kid or a bachelor!
Or when you significant other gets mad at you and don't want you in the bed. You have someplace comfortable to sleep, instead of a couch.
My immediate thought reading your comment: img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2017-06/26/15/enhanced/buzzfeed-prod-fastlane-03/enhanced-16591-1498503770-4.png?downsize=715:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto
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.
awesome as always
Thank you
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. Many thanks for your design and clear instruction!
Outstanding design and video! Thank you!
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!
it's amazing man 👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏
Man! you r good explaining and putting things together. Thanks
You make everything so easy! Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy watching your video.
Ficou ótimo seu projeto de sofá!! Vou me inspirar a fazer o meu assim também. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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!
Probably one on thee best videos on how to do this. I was looking at how to make a pull out sofa bed for my RV and this was extremely helpful. Just wish I had all the other tools to use. 😉
Man fell in love with your builds
I wish I had a man that was this handy! I have so many projects I would like to try but I’m not this handy.
M G y
That is right! Lol 😉
start now, in a few years you will do this kind of projects with ease
DON'T wait for him you learn to do it :))))
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?
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!
Outstanding work!
Great build! So easy to follow, great production, and the final product is beautiful. Also, I love your voice! Great to listen to for a tutorial vid like this :)
foam products inc. ,in montgomery ,al you can get custom cut foam for beds- sofas -and any thing with foam cushions for this project you could get a spit mattress that coverts into sofa cushions --I Have work for the co.about 39 years .your build is great for the front board maybe some small chair slides for the carpet would work .
Genial! me encantó, felicitaciones por ese gran trabajo! saludos desde Venezuela! ::::::)
Venezuela? sounds like a bad time.
best solutions for a small spaces. very cozy, i love it to much. thanks for showing.
Oh man, this is perfect! I've been looking for a new small couch/loveseat for my new place, but also wanted a place for guests to sleep. This is the perfect solution, and will look great as I have some walls with pine carsiding and pine shelves. The built-in bookshelf solves my issue of wanting a side table but not being able to find a design I liked to buy or build. I know how to sew, so the cushion issue is solved. Thank you so much for sharing this incredibly helpful and well done video and the affordable plans!
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!!!
That's my idea too!! I want to make this build and add a storage platform under the sofa! I looove added storage haha nice for tiny spaces!
This desing is verry nice mate
Thank you
DIY Creators i like al of your desings ant builds
Love love LOVE this video... I think I will try this as just a twin size couch without the pullout option. I wish I had all the tools you have but I think I can do this with my beginner's skills!! Thank you!
Great video , You are a professional. and having the right tools for the job a great compliment. Congratulations. thanks for posting!
Parabéns mano muito bom esse projeto bem executado, você e de fato um profissional.
