Armchair bed with own hands

Than to replace habitual sofas or beds, if cheap store products start to be scattered already in couple of months, and on an expensive thing often there are no means? So you have to make a chair with your own hands, inventing drawings for them, so that, let it be simple, but convenient, to improve your life. But these homemade work for years and amuse their master soul.

How to make a bed chair by yourself?

  1. We will not invent here a stylish piece in the form of a rococo or empire triumph, but we will make a simple but comfortable thing in everyday life that will be strong and reliable to withstand any unexpected guest. Backs and seats are made from a normal, but well-processed board and sheet plywood.
  2. We join all the details with self-tapping screws and glue them well.
  3. The wooden surface is grinded with a special machine or sandpaper, so that no knots or burrs remain on any parts.
  4. The side backs are not unique in our country. Bottom with legs, handrail, two thicker outer racks and three that are thinner, intermediate.
  5. Armchair bed, made by own hands, has a seat consisting of three parts. Each of them has a frame made of timber trimmed with thick plywood on top.
  6. The mechanism for transformation here are simple metal loops. But they have to work well, we need to provide clearances, so that nothing sticks, does not rub, and the product is laid out effortlessly.
  7. We master our seats, connecting the canvas from the plywood to the beams with small screws. All three parts have the same dimensions, rectangular shape and crossbar in the frame for reliability.
  8. Alternately, the loops connect all the seats of our "transformer".
  9. The main thing in the business is how to make a chair yourself, so that the pieces folded together make up a beautiful and flat square.
  10. The first part of the seat is attached to the sidewalls using bolts. She will remain motionless when the chair is laid out.
  11. We have removable legs, but ideally you can make folding ones that will hide inside the frame.
  12. The seat is easily laid out, not clinging to the sidewalls, and just as quickly turns into an armchair.
  13. Such a pretty armchair bed , which we made with our own hands, can be painted, varnished or lined with foam rubber and a stylish and beautiful cloth.
