    If you staple some left over fabric to the front of the bed (planks) it would look more high end and it doesn't cost much extra, we did it for the guest room. If you wet the fabric and pull it somewhat tight before stapeling it, it wil shrink and it looks like a proffesional made couch.

    I would be the type of person to have everyday sheets for just lounging around in. I already know they would be the sheets that feel like an old cotton tshirt! 😂🤣🤦‍♀️ Then I would save my expensive linen sheets for when I had guest. I would also probably have some that match for spares so I can wash the sets at the same time. Some materials wear differently after being washed.

Buy 3 or 4 of those (depending on your needs) and you won't have to sew or do any work other than make a few holes in the Utaker bed frame to screw them in. They also come with great laundry safe covers FREE!

    Yea a couch that looks like theirs should cost 300 dollars to make. Yes it's large but the backrest and everything looks cheap. The one we have which is a professionally made sofa with armrests and everything was 200 dollars (it is second hand I'll admit, but in great condition). For 1400 dollars you can buy a better sofa than that. Just because it is not $10,000 like the "cloud sofa" doesn't make it a cheap hack.

    Admittedly, it can be done a lot cheaper. My local Big Lots has great matresses, the frame wouldn't be too hard to DIY, I can get plain sheets to dye (because with pets and kids, white is a nonstarter) from Goodwill. The foam would have to be bought, and the wood I might be able to source cheaply. Adding that it's a sofabed, and not a tiny one, does raise the value of the final product. And if you have ever slept on a sofabed, especially an older model, you know they aren't the best.

    how is a 2pk of shams more expensive than a twin fitted sheet 🤔 I would've bought 1 or 2 more sheets and made the pillows. Overall came out really cool though as well as versatile which is the most important. Love that you can push together a king bed out of it. also a hot tip for the future, fabric store upholstery foam is always expensive, you can usually find walmart or amazon foam mattress toppers in whatever thickness you want for cheaper, you can buy the biggest size and then cut it. I bought a 3" queen foam mattress topper for 20$ last year on target clearance and used it to make an upholstered headboard.

    I did one for $500! 2 twin zinus mattresses, 2 twin zinus frames (I used bedskirts to cover the black metal). Find/buy high density foam wrapped in batting and cover it with two twin sheets (came with the twin sheet sets I bought. Used the fitted sheet to cover the mattresses). Buy a few king sized pillows, cut open the ends and stuff them with added stuffing for support so you can lean back and not hit your head against the wall (I bought a box of stuffing from Walmart for 20-30 bucks). Get a few cute throw pillows to make it look complete and voila!

    They can buy some straps for those instead. It's made exactly for that reason and also keeps it from slipping. It almost looks like suspenders but in a triangle shape with three clamps. That way, there is no holes made in the sheets. 😊

  • @NicoleHerrickDIY

    @NicoleHerrickDIY

    5 жыл бұрын

    Yes that’s true, you can buy them, but they already have the straps underneath. The eyelets need a reinforcement strip so the sheets don’t rip. You can buy an eyelet gun from your local hardware or haberdashery store. You simply add an eyelet every 20cm or so, then lace it up like a shoe to keep everything super taught. If it were me I would buy upholstery linen and sew zipper covers.

You might already have extra leftover but I noticed the exposed plywood where the l hooks up and I was thinking "oh no, what if they move somewhere and decide they dont want their sofa against a wall?!" At some point you may want to finish it off but what if you can't find that exact fabric match! It would be easier to stock up while its fresh lol maybe that's just my I-have-three-boys-that-have-induced-my-over-prepared-paranoid-way-of-thinking talking!

    tbh it's pretty easy! just assemble the utaker beds with mattresses + pillows, and then for the back part, cut two lengths of the bed and one width (shorter) of plywood. then take the foam you bought and glue it down using spray adhesive and upholster with whatever fabric (make sure it's a little bigger than the wood but not big enough to cover the back) you choose by pulling tightly and stapling it to the back - can then staple/glue a piece of fabric to hide the back of the wood. then just drill/screw it with multiple screws into the bottom of the bed frame and ur done! (lots of vids for upholstering if u want more visuals on youtube!)
