Oh So Useful
Growing up, I had a bed with a pull out trundle that allowed friends who spent the night to have their own mattress to sleep on. As an adult, I kind of wanted the same thing.
Not only does a pull out bed save space, but it’s a great way to be prepared for guests. Especially with tiny houses and apartments, these can be lifesavers.
How It’s Built
You can also build a sofa out of it, making it do double duty for use as well!
For the design, the storage portion is built mainly out of 1 x 8s, with a middle support to splice the plywood on. It also acts as a mattress support for the center.
Another support for the mattress is the top and bottom of the storage space, made out of 3/4″ plywood. There are also 2 x 4s on the ends to hold the castor wheels in.
An Easy Build
There are also some wheels, some hinges and screws, and so on. There are a ton of diagrams in the video below that show this simple process from start to finish.
It’s functional, space-saving, and perfect for a tiny house or guest bed option. No matter what your needs are and why you decided to build it, it’s going to be incredibly useful for you.
