finally! someone who explains things in a way i can understand!
Thanks! Happy to hear that!
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.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
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.
Aww thanks so much! You're so kind.❤ thanks for watching and we hope you're life is full of happy and adventurous times.❤

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.
You're very welcome!❤ Yes, it's very easy to build and holds up very well. We've had it for over a year now and it's as good as the first day we had it. Let us know if you have any questions through your building process!
@@MellowCo Awesome! Thank you! :)
I want to build a custom window day bed with this type of transition. Im excited about it.
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! ☺️
Thanks so much! Yes this would work perfect in a van as well with sizing changes! Goodluck on your build!
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💙
Haha why not have fun with them right?! You're very welcome and thanks for watching, glad it helped you out!❤
Молодцы ребята! Очень полезный контент👍
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!
You're welcome! Thanks, we appreciate that! We did our best to make it so anyone can build it, even if you think you can't. We aren't professionals and we learned from videos just like this and figured we'd pass on how we did it. Love to hear that!
udmbfck x any update on your build? Would love to hear how it went for you!
Love this day bed for my tiny house great idea peace an love
Thanks! Glad you like it! ✌ and ❤ to you as well!
I like the relax music and your cooperation.
Thanks!❤
Awesome job guys love it!!

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.
Thanks so much! We love to hear that! Big hugs coming your way from the coast of Florida!❤
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
You're welcome! Glad it helped you out! Have fun with it!🙂
sooo helpful thank you for making it so easy to understand
Awesome, you're welcome! Glad it helped you out!
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!
No problem! Awesome to hear it helped! Good luck with the build. Cheers!
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
Thanks so much! Let us know how it goes! We love ours! You're welcome! Let us know if you have any questions!
Well done! I might try that for my shack
Thanks! We love ours!

Thank you so much I have looking this for long time
You're very welcome! Let us know if you have any questions!
Love this video very helpful thanks.
Thanks! You’re very welcome!
LOVE THIS IDEA! I want to tweak it a little: make the pull out bed frame with foldable legs and wheels!
Thank you! That’s awesome, love that idea!
love this idea. need to figure out a shopping list for it
Thanks for the idea❤
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!❤️
Great ! I'm about to make my own !
Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions!
Thank you soooooooo muuccccch for sharing this ! Really appreciate it ❤🙏
Thank you!❤️
Parabéns Ficou Linda Gostei
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 :)
Thank you! We appreciate that! Let us know if you have any questions!
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.
Great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know how it works out!
😊I loved this idea.
Thank you 🙂
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.
Thanks so much!❤
Все зрозуміло, молодець,ви великий фахівець
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.
thanks for the idea
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing💙
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!❤
Awesome thanks so much for sharing ❤

Love it
Thank you!
Very,very good!!!Thank you from Brazil.
Thank you! You're welcome!🙂

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 👍
Aww thanks! Awesome, that's great to hear! Goodluck and let us know if you have any more questions! New Zealand is a beautiful country you have, on the top of our bucket list places to visit!
@@MellowCo
I've lived here since 1993, I'm originally from Dublin, Ireland. The scenery is very much like home. You guys should try and make it down here for a tour, it is an amazing country.
When I came here in 1993 I bought an old wreck van for $750 and put a new engine in it, also suspension, brakes, new spray paint, and kitted out into a Campervan and traveled the North and South Island for 3 months..... it was my best experience.
Keep in touch and let me know if you guys come down this way 👍
Hope you keep clear ov the Covid-19.
Stay safe 👍👍
That's awesome! Our next project is a van, so we might be picking your brain for some pointers on that. We were actually just in Scotland in early December. Drove over a 1000 miles in 6 days. Beautiful scenery. Heard amazing things about Ireland too! Hopefully we make it out your way one day, would love to see your beautiful country! Thanks so much, you guys stay healthy and safe as well!
Thanks for the video. Gives me a rough idea of how it is done.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!🙂
That's so nice project
Thank you!
It was a very informative video.
Thank you!
Great and helpfull ..thanks..
Glad it helped! You're very welcome!
Nice work
Good 👍
Thank you!!
Thanks
Cool 😊
Thanks!😊❤
Love Seat in a Box!
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.
This is a very nice
Thanks broo
Kamlesh Mali glad you enjoyed it!
How cen the explan the size please
Trying to find something for my tiny house combination sofa bed for 2
nice.. keep in touch
Cool DIY.. hope it work out
Thanks! Yup, works great!
Just picked up wood working and may try this!!
Love to hear that! Goodluck! Let us know if you have any questions!
Nice thank you
Thank you! You’re welcome!
Muito bom!!
Obrigado!!!❤
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
Thanks!
Thanks 😊👍
You're very welcome!😊
Süpersiniz
very nice and easy
Thank you!😀
Gracias x tu excelente
De nada❤ Gracias!
Good video. thanks. how long was the bed itself and how far out did it come? Did it fit 1 or 2 people?
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).
yes, i think a cross piece would be necessary.
Thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
That's good
Thanks so much!
You are a brilliant
Thanks for tuning in!!
I am going to build one two!
Too* soon! 🙂
Yessssss.. omg wheres my boyfriend and a van. We could live forever. I need take $300 out my savings for a start trip.
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
Awesome!
Runners? I don't understand. Please explain.
Beautiful work! I like her shoes...who makes them?
Hi there!! Thank you! They are Vans! The Sk8 MTE, so they are waterproof and great for hiking!
Indonesia ok
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
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
Do you have a way to fix when it falls down during pullout? Mine does this and I hate it
Would that be strong enough to put a box spring and spring mattress on it?
Thank you so mach
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
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?
Thanks so much! We sold it when we sold our camper, but it held up perfectly as long as we had it. Never had one problem with it. Held everyone safely that sat or slept on it.
Thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for that. how did you fix it (if you did!) inside the camper ? on the wall and floor ?
No problem! Never needed to fix it so don’t have much info for you there. But it can be easily taken outside to work on if it needed repair.
Can recommend his other video.."how to build a two day bed in two days!"
Hahahahahahahahaha🤣🤣
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.
You're very welcome!! Great tip! Thank you!
رائع
Hi can you tell me the exact messures from the wood. I cannot understand some. One
Hi, the measurement of the wood is ok, what about the sofa and the gap between the top layer of sofa's wood
Question, Are there daybeds that can be like real bed? Be able to a box spring and mattress?
Thank you this was so helpful!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!🙂
Great Job! What did you use for a mattress?
Thanks! We just got a mattress topper and cut it to size with a knife. Wasn't a perfect cut, but once you put a sheet on it you can't tell.😊
thanks
You're very welcome!❤ Thanks for watching!
ok
I would just add a 2x2 horizontal piece at the bottom of the front bracing for stability.
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.
Good info! Ours has held up great, but def a good suggestion for people!
Noche work guys... Very simple
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Estaría bueno q tenga patas el módulo que se desliza, aunque no se podría separar.
What type of mattress do you use with this style pullout daybed?
We used a mattress topper type of foam and cut it to fit.
can we do the same in iron or wood is preferable ?
We're no experts, but I'm sure you could!
😍😍
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!
No sag on ours after a year of use. Thanks though! You're very welcome!
I love her shoes, I have the same but another color
Thanks! Best pair of shoes!
Can you build additional framing ...like bookends
Vita Mulhern you mean like to box in the mattress? Yes we did that. Just a matter of how you want yours to look 😄
Yes precisely
Can you start in the reverse with the braces so that the pull out brace is on the very end? I am thinking if I go with a thinner foam type mattress it won’t be supported enough on the ends?...☮️
Yes i guess you could do that. We've had ours for a while now and have had zero issue with support.
It's better to have a strip of wood on top of the movable part, not bottom. Leaves you with a slight bump depending on how thick of a strip you use but at least it'll be much easier to close it back
I would decrease the width somewhat cause it will go in my van. but overall very good.
Love to hear it!!
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Thank you!!
