Converting the Twin Bed into a Sofa

Place the twin bed against the wall with the width (shorter end) touching the wall just like you would a regular day bed. At this point you can add the risers or box springs to adjust the height of your bed.

Choosing the Bedding

The most important factor to make your bed look like a sofa is in the bedding. Get a bedding set with a bed skirt so you can cover the legs of your bed and make it look like a sofa with flaps upholstered. Do this after you’re satisfied with the bed’s height so you don’t buy the wrong length bedding set.

Adding Pillows

Strategically shaped and placed pillow can add a backrest and armrests to your faux sofa. You can easily switch them around as you need to use it as a bed or sofa. Place the pillows at the head at night for sleeping and during the day lay them on the side against the wall as the backrest. You can even add bolsters on each side to it looks even more like a sofa with arms.

Custom Upholstered Backrest

Make sure to take proper measurements so you know what height you want the backing. Even if you don’t have all the tools you need for the woodworking part of the project your local hardware store can easily cut them for you at a much cheaper cost then buying them yourself.
