Make a bed into a sofa.
Creatively transform your bed into a sofa by working with what you have and adding a few well selected design features.
I then was able to secure the correct slat using a nail gun.
I love that it is as deep as a twin bed and man have i made use of it in her first year of life.
For elliot s room i found this amazing vintage bamboo twin bed although i bought it online and i thought it was a daybed.
This is an explanation on how we did it.
A queen bed in a living room office or guest room can easily serve as a sofa during the day and a comfortable bed at night much more comfortable than the thin creaky mattresses in most built in sofa beds.
We build a slatted sofa bed for our van conversion.
A standard door is 80 inches tall which when placed on its side is only 5 inches wider than the 75 inch twin sized bed.
The backrest could be as simple as a wooden door.
When space is limited and you desire a different look with your bed get creative and make your bed look like a couch.
Visually this turns the bed sideways and into a daybed.
To make sure i left adequate spacing i laid down two slats at a time and separated them with another piece of wood as shown.
You can easily turn a basic twin bed into a quasi couch with only a few artfully placed pillows and a little rearranging.
When i bought this vintage bed online i thought it was a daybed because i notoriously see something i love and press purchase as if i m a 3 year old seeing.
You could easily place an old door behind the bed to create a low visual backrest.
It s also an ideal solution to make efficient use of floor space in smaller living areas.
After you remake your bed so it looks perfect for lounging you can have company who can sit comfortably.
But i still wanted the look of it to be a daybed sofa instead of a twin bed during the day.
I recommend gluing and screwing the slats into place especially if you anticipate moderate to heavy use of the sofa bed.
Transforming a bed into a sofa gives you a comfy place to lounge that is versatile as well.
But let s face it most of us already have a daybed and we need to do the best we can to make it look like a couch despite the shortcomings in the existing design.
