By day, this unit is a comfortable and attractive sofa; at night, it can be converted quickly into a futon bed. As a bed, it takes a standard futon mattress and, as a sofa, measures 80" (203 cm) long x 30" (76 cm) deep x 32" (81 cm) high.

This unit’s versatility gives you the comfort and style of a sofa in daily use while accommodating the occasional overnight visitor, thus eliminating the handling and inconvenience involved in setting up and storing a cot or inflatable bed. It would also be perfect for a student living in a small apartment, who has to fit the maximum amount of convenience and comfort into a minimum of space.

The plans for this project detail all you need to know to build the sleeping beauty futon and come with a complete materials list, step-by-step instructions and illustrations.
