To make the most of the quarantine orders in California, we decided to make a DIY lounge sofa so we can properly binge watch Netflix when we're not supposed to be working from home.
Using only five sheets of plywood, a twin sized mattress and a few large pillows from IKEA, we were able to make this couch over the weekend.
This sofa fits perfectly in our living room and when we have guests over, we can simply convert it into another guest bed. It looks great, seats us comfortably, and doubles as a daybed!
We used our CNC to cut the back spines, but it can be easily replicated with a jigsaw. Dimensions are available on our website at: imeemade.com/blog/loungesofa
TOOLS WE USED:
Drill and Driver set: amzn.to/2xzHyZY
2.5" Screws: amzn.to/2z7Rf2f
Wood Glue: amzn.to/2XCUvNf
Spring Clamps: amzn.to/2XFCo9n
Water Based Polyurethane: amzn.to/3cnE3V5
Felt Feet: amzn.to/3cgbfOq

We typically don't mention cost on our videos because price can vary widely among regions and even the timespan when we post the video vs when someone watches. We provide a list of everything we used in the description as well as our blog so anyone following along can easily calculate the cost of materials when they're ready to build.

@clarkeysam 4 года назад

Nice! In hindsight is there anything you would change? Is the mattress too big (a twin mattress seems big ti me)? Does the mattress slip around on the plywood (maybe velcro strips would be a solution)?

@IMEEMADE 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! The only thing we would change is making the back rest a few inches taller. Otherwise everything is exactly how we want it. We ended up putting a non slip pad similar to drawer liners underneath the matress to keep it from moving around

I want to cut a long pvc pipe into 6. Then fill with cement. Spray paint the color of choice and use that for the legs. Cheaper than wood maybe and less tools. And add a strip light underneath.

would it by chance be slippery with the mat moving around underneath when sitting on it? just wondering. Lots of hard work here.

@davidbourland8080 Год назад

I like this (and love the dog) but I wonder how heavy is it? You want it to not slide if someone plops down but this might be too heavy to ever move? How is it?

@IMEEMADE Год назад

It's pretty heavy as an entire assembly, but by putting felt pads on the bottom we can slide it around on our hardwood floors. it does take two of us and a decent amount of strength to move it to but not impossible. It's heavy enough that an average adult can plop down and doesn't move

Did you have to do anything to keep the mattress from sliding out from underneath you when you lean on the backrest? Or do you get enough friction straight on the polyurethane?

@areoladan5580 Год назад

@@IMEEMADE ah ok nice! I always like to go over a PU finish with a used piece of 400 grit sandpaper to knock off the high points and get a super velvety smooth finish… so it always ends up pretty slick. I really like the finished sofa, I might consider doing something like this once my ikea couch gets worn out… in 40 years

@GamerZoneSpice 3 года назад

Why double the 3/4" plywood on the seat of the couch? One sheet is rated for 80 lbs per sq ft which should be plenty I would think. Just curious what the logic was behind that and if it wasn't necessary, maybe it could be built for even less cost?

Our only concern at the time was the possibility of sagging over time. You can definitely use 1 sheet of 3/4" plywood and it would be fine.
