HOW TO BUILD A DAYBED IN A DAY! 

finally! someone who explains things in a way i can understand!

Add 2 solid ply wood 1/4 in thick with hinges for the back ply wood to open for back rest while the other covers the seating for a stronger seating area then add wheels to all legs. Make your own mattress or get a thick toper. When you open the bed to twin or king you can fold down the plywood after you slide the other out. I seen these they run from $350+ they can have drawers or trundles under the extended end. Thank You for the Blessing I couldn't afford it, but now I can build and I'm good at that.

Yes! Thank you for this tutorial! My mom owns the ikea version of this bed, and I've always loved it. 🥰 I don't necessarily have a small bedroom, at least for an older home, but it also isn't "big" by any stretch of the imagination. My previous [California king sized] bed used to take up most of the floor space in my room. Even though I loved it, I decided to downsize to something smaller about a year and a half ago. This bed looks fairly easy to build and would make a great compromise between floor space and a bigger bed.

This video is perfect! My husband and I want to build a custom trundle bed to fit the back of a cargo van and now I know exactly how to do it! ☺️

Very Good Job, this one is the actual DIY Job, no carpentry methods followed, but looks good and OK. His girl Jess helping him a lot. I like it. And I liked her shocking expression at 06:07 Really its priceless, very natural, beatiful.... May almighty bless you both for ever with a happy life. Thank you for sharing the video.

Thanks for your video. Yours is the best one I've found on the build and makes it simple for nincompoops like me to follow through. There is no way I'm gonna mess this up!

I just love how you troll the trolls. Thanks for making this video. I'm trying to design 2 chairs that lock together and can pull out into a day bed. This was really helpful💙

Thank you. Will do this with my oldest son, as I'd like a corner bed sofa in my flat. Your video, save me from trying to sketch it x

I like the relax music and your cooperation.

Excellent job buddy, let me tell you that I am gonna build one of that one of those days. A big hug for you and your wife. From Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central America.

Love this day bed for my tiny house great idea peace an love

I want to build a custom window day bed with this type of transition. Im excited about it.

Great video, thanks for sharing all that valuable info. I don't feel so overwhelmed about making my own daybed for my campervan reno now :) Cheers Guys!

Молодцы ребята! Очень полезный контент👍

sooo helpful thank you for making it so easy to understand

Awesome job guys love it!!

This is the simplest build and one I've been looking for. I'll build one for my fifth wheel. The only change I'd make in mine is the two outside slats would be pull outs, not screwed down. I think that would stop the falling in. Your build allows oodles of storage space underneath- fantastic. Mine will be built of reclaimed pallet wood (it's what I can afford). Thank you again.

Really bout to use ur exact design thanks!! U don’t need a million subs to help someone greatly. Keep doing what ur doing. I’m gonna subscribe for sure :)

Well done! I might try that for my shack

Probably not the best video on this subject but you get props for just getting out there and doing it! I'm sitting here still measuring and drawing.

Great work guys. You work well together. I'm currently building a Campervan down here in New Zealand. I'm going to use this design. Thank you for sharing 👍

LOVE THIS IDEA! I want to tweak it a little: make the pull out bed frame with foldable legs and wheels!

Thank you so much I have looking this for long time

Good job! Love the music too!!

Nicely done! Perfect design for you guys. I'm going to build this and add some "plus size" support for me and my mastiffs! Hahaha! Thanks for the vid dude

Thank you for sharing. Going to try this myself now, your instruction and tips are great!

Love Seat in a Box!

Great ! I'm about to make my own !

😊I loved this idea.

Thank you soooooooo muuccccch for sharing this ! Really appreciate it ❤🙏

Very,very good!!!Thank you from Brazil.

Thanks for the video. Gives me a rough idea of how it is done.

Grest job! You make it look easy. I want to build one too.

Love this video very helpful thanks.

It was a very informative video.

This build is somewhat similar to the IKEA Hemnes daybed. There are online video guides on how to assemble it. The user manual with dimensions, parts list, assembly instructions is also online. IKEA does offer some of the assembly hardware as a separate purchase. I just dismantled my king waterbed but have kept the two 3-drawer units that supported the mattress. I'm considering using one or stack both of those drawer units for the trundle component of a daybed. I like that the Hemnes has vertical panels on 3 sides. I'm thinking I could use 30x80 hollow core interior doors instead, one for the backrest, another cut in half for either end. Since hollow doors aren't suitable for bearing any load, I plan to build a sturdy frame from 2x lumber as a "sleeve" for the trundle. The doors will then attach to the sturdy sleeve.

Love it

Just picked up wood working and may try this!!

Thank you for sharing💙

Thanks

I want to build this for my office but I would like to have drawers underneath for pillows and linens. Putting soap on the sliding rails for ready gliding.

Thanks 😊👍

Все зрозуміло, молодець,ви великий фахівець

thanks for the idea

Thanks for the idea❤

Cool 😊

Nice thank you

nice job ,you could add a rail under pull out on each side end front to back to sandwich sliding section to stop pull out flip flop

Nice work Good 👍

Awesome thanks so much for sharing ❤

Muito bom!!

Süpersiniz

That's so nice project

Thanks.

Trying to find something for my tiny house combination sofa bed for 2

Great and helpfull ..thanks..

That's good

Nice job. The section or part that pulls out "stands" on two front legs that don't have a cross piece like the other part of the bed. Why wouldn't you add a cross piece that would keep those two legs stable when it is pulled out? Couldn't see if that cross piece would sit on the floor but if not, maybe it being not quite as wide across the front of the bed would be okay or it could just go up off the floor an inch or so. To have a cross piece acting as another stabilizer would keep the bed from being too wonky on the pull-out action. You can take bees wax or a bar of soap & rub it along those wood slats which would make the pull-out action a bit easier too (in case the wood swells with the weather or you can always give it a spray paint shower). Thanks you two for a great video & reminding us to measure twice & cut once (which we saw when we realized how careful you were about your measurements).

This is a very nice Thanks broo

Lookd like didnt make runners? Stops it dropping. Also put a spacer under to stop friction so slides open with ease. Thats what i did to mine

Cool DIY.. hope it work out

I am going to build one two! Too* soon! 🙂

Good video. thanks. how long was the bed itself and how far out did it come? Did it fit 1 or 2 people?

very nice and easy

Just my observation and opinion I would have put a brace down the sides so that when you pulled it out , they wouldn't collapse on you like that one did but you know to each its own I would have done it but I still love the concept

You are a brilliant

Gracias x tu excelente

Thank you so mach

Hello, very interesting and easy to make bed solution :) Is this still in use? Did anything break over the years? I think of sitting at one end in the middle will break the long 2x2 or something?

nice.. keep in touch

Thank you

Beautiful work! I like her shoes...who makes them?

Nice easy to do, measurements also super. But which one is 1", like to didn't show any wood measurement before or at the timing of sofa making. Reply us

thanks

Thanks a lot for that. how did you fix it (if you did!) inside the camper ? on the wall and floor ?

Indonesia ok

رائع

can we do the same in iron or wood is preferable ?

Can recommend his other video.."how to build a two day bed in two days!"

Noche work guys... Very simple

Absolutely love the visual video thank you so much. If I could suggest something it would be. Annie Sloan Clear Chalk Paint Wax. Or any namebrand. Chalk wax paint. Which would tremendously help the slide of the wood. I’ve used it on the bottom of old drawers to help them open and clos Easly and it Works great.

Hi, the measurement of the wood is ok, what about the sofa and the gap between the top layer of sofa's wood

Great Job! What did you use for a mattress?

Question, Are there daybeds that can be like real bed? Be able to a box spring and mattress?

Do you have a way to fix when it falls down during pullout? Mine does this and I hate it

I would just add a 2x2 horizontal piece at the bottom of the front bracing for stability.

Hi can you tell me the exact messures from the wood. I cannot understand some. One

What type of mattress do you use with this style pullout daybed?

Legs on the back of the pull out instead of that 'lock'. 2 x 1 slats and more of. You'll get serious matress sag. Good how to, thank you!

Can you build additional framing ...like bookends

You need diagonals on each section unless you are covering the back and sides with plywood. Then you would only need them on the front slide out legs. It won't hold up without them.

Would that be strong enough to put a box spring and spring mattress on it?

😍😍

Thank you this was so helpful!

what did u use for cushions and what size

Estaría bueno q tenga patas el módulo que se desliza, aunque no se podría separar.

I would decrease the width somewhat cause it will go in my van. but overall very good.

I love her shoes, I have the same but another color

I will build something similar but will have more braces. As in I and 250 pounds haha
