1 Lift Storage Bed Trundle - Converts to Sofa for Tiny House Use [1] Submitted by Ana White [2] on Fri, :12 [1] Happiest of Friday to you today! Thank you for all the love on our loft system with bed and storage video and project [3] last week for the Tiny House series [4] we are doing right now. Page 1 of 17

2 Just in case you missed last week's video - A big part of the functionality of this system in the tiny house is the sofa seating area. Page 2 of 17

3 By day, it's a very comfortable spot to lounge. It's 18" tall, so standard seating height. Page 3 of 17

4 Then come night, it pulls out to become a real bed. With a real mattress. Page 4 of 17

5 And of course it lifts up for lots of storage underneath, assisted by a bed lift kit (we used this bed lift kit [5]). Here's the video on how we built it and use it - Thanks so much for watching! If you have a second, please do subscribe [6] to be notified when we share new videos. The plans follow. Enjoy and have a great weekend! XO Ana Page 5 of 17

6 Summary: How to build a lift storage bed. This lift storage bed has springs that keep it open and help it close with more control. Converts to a sofa in a tiny house.

10 [29] Build the frame out of 1x8s. We choose to use 1x8s to get the right height when working with 6" mattress and caster wheels (ended up using 2-1/2" caster wheels) to fit inside the loft bed area and also opted for 1x material to keep weight down since this project will be used in a tiny house. You could use other materials here, wouldn't go less than a 1x6 (small storage cavity and not enough strength) unless you support underneath with additional caster wheels. You can build in a number of different ways. We used 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws, but you could also use screws but I don't recommend nails. Page 10 of 17

11 [30] Attach 1/4" plywood to the bottom with 3/4" nails or staples and glue. Use the plywood factory edges on outsides to help you square up the project as you attach it. Page 11 of 17

12 [31] Attach caster wheels to the base. You may need to add blocking attached to the 1x8 boards to support the caster wheels. Page 12 of 17

13 [32] The 1x6 board can be nailed and glued or screwed on. Keep outside edges flush. Page 13 of 17

14 [33] Attach the full sheet of plywood to the 1x6 board with hinges. NOTE: I also applied iron on edge banding around the three exposed sides of the plywood to finish the edges prior to installation. Page 14 of 17

15 [34] Follow directions on bed lift kit for attaching the springs to the plywood and bed cavity. We adjusted ours quite a bit to get it just right. clickforplans: [35] Source URL: t-storage-bed-trundle-converts-sofa-tiny-house-use Links [1] d-trundle-converts-sofa-tiny-house-use [2] [3] Page 15 of 17
