Diy Wood Futon Frame

One minute it is a relaxing sofa.

Diy wood futon frame. Let s start with the slots and mortises in the legs. Futon frames mattresses and duvet like cover choices are nearly endless. Build one for an extra bedroom the family room or that college bound scholar. The type of wood you use is up to you but in my opinion pine works best.

You ll find that the futon gets lots of use and that you ll be the genius who made it. If you select a different size mattress you ll need to adjust the frame dimensions accordingly. This is worth it. What more do you need.

The wood i used was pine as it is cheap relatively strong yet a little springy to make the futon a bit more comfortable. The next it s a comfortable bed. Place another piece of wood next to the first piece approximately 3 inches 7 5 centimeters away. Construct the frame lay down the two beams along their width 2 feet 76 centimeters apart from one another.

The next it s a comfortable bed. My local hardware store cut the planks for me at no extra cost but depending on where you go they may charge 10 extra. You can spend a wide range of money on futon sets from an inexpensive diy futon or slightly more with an ikea model all the way up to expensive pottery barn wood versions that look like a million bucks the kind they use in fancy hotels. You ll find that the futon gets lots of use and that you ll be the genius who made it.
