Don’t you just love lazing around on a comfortable sofa? More so after a tiring day at work. With a good book in hand, I have fallen asleep on my sofa many, many times. My husband used to joke that I should just turn it into a bed. So I thought, why not?
- 100% solid hardwood futon frame - finished seat and back decks.
- Three position frame easily goes from upright to reclined to bed.
- Complete futon set - futon frame and made in USA solid covered futon mattress.
If you have a nook or an empty space that’s screaming for something, this project is perfect.
This sofa/futon/bed frame combination is actually a good idea. It’s tri-fold so it doesn’t take up too much space when not in use. And if you’re anything like me, I love a good project that allows me to save money. For this one, the savings was a little over $100.
