ua-cam.com/video/CYRV3hZLjnc/v-deo.html
Which mattress type did you order with the Utaker beds? There were 3 types: Minnesund, Meistervik, or Husvika?
This is one of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time! I saved it to my favorite videos way back when you first made it👏💕
Always remember Jesus never fails, no matter how many times it feels like he has just know that He always has your back
Pray this prayer from the bottom of your heart out loud to be saved
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I repent of my sins. I will worship you all the days of my life.I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.I receive it and Believe it in
Jesus Powerful Name, AMEN❗️
idk why but it never occurred to me that you can just make a couch lol
Thats exactly what I thought when i came across this video!
I agree ! Why are we not doing this.
I found this video because I searched for how to make your own sofa; Just been watching Mr. Money Mustache about being thrifty LOL
Same lmao
Pallets ☆
Finally, someone said it out loud that IKEA sofas are expensive!
I have 2 IKEA sofas, they weren't expensive and all the covers are completely machine washable. I've had them For 7 years, great value
@G S ONLY? Lol that's alot of money
@G S only???? 🤣
Richard Foo you should see how much the beds are too
The friheten is cheap but so uncomfortable
So basically, you used two twin beds as the bottom for your sofa/couch, added extra foam on the mattress, and then made backboards for the back of the couch.
Interesting. 👍🏾
Yes
Random Jasmine tyty
U saved me 20 mins
Brenda Singer I wish there were more clips of the assembly of the bed. Pictures of what they bought instead of watching someone talk about design choices for 15 minutes and speed through assembly.
I loved your video! Will be making mine this week! Thank you for the great ideas.
You literally made a Moroccan style living room / sofa. This is what I grew up with, it's called a Moroccan Sedari, you can look up the pictures online. :)
I showed this to my moroccan husband and he said the same thing!
@@jordancarter4051 Yeah it is something that any Moroccan would recognize. We do have western style sofas but in most homes, you will have what we call a western guestroom with sofas and a coffee table as well as a traditional Moroccan guestroom with embellished wood frames that go all the way around the room, on top of those wood frames we have something that looks like a narrow mattress, which is covered with tick traditional embellished covers that match the pillows that go all around the room as well. I hope that was not a long add on answer lol
I was about to write the same comment😂
Haha i guess all the moroccans will show up here 😂
Thank for sharing, I never knew this about your culture.
I came up with this idea, using that exact bed, last year. My husband said I was "crazy." I'm going to show him this video as soon as he gets home 😂
You should make a video.
It's never crazy to diy your style. I hope you showed him and he helped you to make the sofa of your dreams.
Hey! I did this in my living room because my husband has trouble sleeping and he's really tall. Two mattresses seemed better/ more reliable than even an expensive sofa. I did it for $500 too. So cool to see someone else making their own sofas!
The reason hers is so expensive is because of the kind of couch she's looking for. A 5 person sectional isn't ever gonna cost less the 1,000 unless it's second hand.
It was mainly the sheets. You can get a couch that seats the same and even more for way cheaper. I've found some from 600 brand new from Wayfair. But he's has alot of function and versatility so I'd say it's worth it. Still could have been cheaper from the sheets
Not sure where you are buying sectionals. But there is hundreds of choices for under a grand. And hundreds for under $500.
Austin Hooks plz tell me where bc i can only find cheap/flimsy ones from value city & amazon
boop bop literally all you have to do is google sectional and go to shopping and there are tons of websites
Yeah mine was $2500
Omg! This is a genius hack! Such a great idea. The amazing thing is that if you did end up ruining the sheet with food or wine you can just replace the sheet instead of having to pay for the sofa to be reupholstered!
I would be the type of person to have everyday sheets for just lounging around in. I already know they would be the sheets that feel like an old cotton tshirt! 😂🤣🤦♀️ Then I would save my expensive linen sheets for when I had guest. I would also probably have some that match for spares so I can wash the sets at the same time. Some materials wear differently after being washed.
Girl ikea couches come with 5 to 15 year warrantys depending on what couch you get. I have a 500 usd sectional that has a 10 year warranty. If anything happens all i have to do is go in with the couch and they will swap it with a new couch.

Great job!
Totally copying for a smaller version for my office.
Thanks!

Good work.
Your setup looks great. I love how many possibilities can come from it.
I am going to propose my husband and i build one together. Cuttinf even more cost when we can make the frames 💓
You saved me!!! LOL this is the best DIY IKea Idea ever!!
What are the dimensions of the couch? Wondering how it would fit in my space. Thanks!
$1400 oh no ma’am that’s a whole living room set imma just like this video and exit to the left
Yea a couch that looks like theirs should cost 300 dollars to make. Yes it's large but the backrest and everything looks cheap. The one we have which is a professionally made sofa with armrests and everything was 200 dollars (it is second hand I'll admit, but in great condition). For 1400 dollars you can buy a better sofa than that. Just because it is not $10,000 like the "cloud sofa" doesn't make it a cheap hack.
LOL - Ikea was way better than that hot mess! And Ikea was less price! So $1400 plus labor and the research that comes with it, was so NOT worth it!!!
Admittedly, it can be done a lot cheaper. My local Big Lots has great matresses, the frame wouldn't be too hard to DIY, I can get plain sheets to dye (because with pets and kids, white is a nonstarter) from Goodwill. The foam would have to be bought, and the wood I might be able to source cheaply.
Adding that it's a sofabed, and not a tiny one, does raise the value of the final product. And if you have ever slept on a sofabed, especially an older model, you know they aren't the best.
@@WintrBorn exactly! I can get those exact same items with a max budget of $450. Canada is always more expensive than US anyways tho.
@@etaylor8028 exactly a 10 seater couch with power seat is going to cost me 1500$
the fact that it turns into a king sized bed is so amazing
I GREATLY appreciate the price breakdown. Rarely, I find a video where the costs are included. Thank you! I enjoyed the video and love the idea!
$1410 is a great deal for a gazillion ways to modify the setup.
If you staple some left over fabric to the front of the bed (planks) it would look more high end and it doesn't cost much extra, we did it for the guest room. If you wet the fabric and pull it somewhat tight before stapeling it, it wil shrink and it looks like a proffesional made couch.
Y’all are hilarious in these comments. This whole project was DEFF worth the money. The multiple uses makes it worth it for sure. Just don’t splurge on linens like she did because she WANTED to. Y’all don’t have to do exactly as she does. Sheeeeeesh. 🙄
That's exactly what I was gonna say! I LOVE it!!! I'm so grateful for the video! I've been drooling over all these gorgeous couches Im seeing, can't afford all that... but this I LOVE and love how it can be used so many other ways!
Jaz Najiyaah ikr everyone is hating
Not to mention that a $1400 couch on the market doesn’t cost $1400 to make.
@@sairathealchemist exactlyyyy

Fun fact: those IKEA pillows named "fjädrar" is Swedish for feathers.
I like how she pronounced it like "federararae" instead of "feathers" lol
IfYouMeetAWolf it's not pronounced feathers though, it means feathers
I LOVE THIS. My boyfriend and I have been going through the struggle of finding the perfect sofa and this is exactly what I’m looking for- such a smart idea! Thank you for this video!!
Gurl..this changed the game. My apt and living room is small and has a lot of funky corners that flare up my anxiety trying to for any piece of furniture in it that looks decent. Add the fact that my kid recently gutted the inside of the three seater so now I have virtually no real comfortable or cute options at home and so far all the L shaped sofas are either too big or too expensive and this just opened up a world of possibilities
This is such a damn good idea, thank you for sharing!! In case anyone else wants to try this you can actually buy twin size memory foam mattresses at walmart for $149. My husband and I have the king size version and it's very comfortable and has held up perfectly (we've owned it for a year and the king size was $250).
edited to update: the brand of mattress is Spa Sensations by Zinus (walmart and amazon). The prices have gone up a little since we purchased ours. Twins are $149.
We bought the king size for our guest room! Love it
Omg me & my husband have the king sized bed from Walmart and it is the best bed I've ever had
Good point. This diy CAN be done for less than $1400. And it's multifunctional.
Do you remember the name/ brand of the mattress?
@@santanalbp Yes! The brand is Spa Sensations by Zinus. They are 8 inch theratouch memory foam. Looks like they raised the prices a little bit so a Twin will run you $149. I've seen them in every walmart I've gone in, they usually keep them by the furniture on an endcap.
My suggestion to anyone doing this: Use the Soderhamn Ikea Armrests instead of making your own backing. Buy 3 or 4 of those (depending on your needs) and you won't have to sew or do any work other than make a few holes in the Utaker bed frame to screw them in. They also come with great laundry safe covers FREE!
Can you buy just arm rests, without the body? Didn't know that!
@@d.a.tsun5104 of course. Soderhamn is a modular sofa so you can buy any piece on its own. You can see it on their website
Thank you for this info!!
vedi0boy, thank you!!!
How would you go on to attach them?
I'm so impressed with not only your beautiful style for your home but how much effort you took on just one piece. You deserve 👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
PLEASE CAN YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PLYWOOD & FABRIC & STUFF LIKE THAT? I neeeeeeed to do this for my new apartment !!
Did she ever tell you the dimensions? I'm confused
*…and this is why you’re my favorite youtuber* well done 🤧👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful!! If you stain the wood it may look a little more higher quality but the wood is gorgeous
how is a 2pk of shams more expensive than a twin fitted sheet 🤔 I would've bought 1 or 2 more sheets and made the pillows. Overall came out really cool though as well as versatile which is the most important. Love that you can push together a king bed out of it.
also a hot tip for the future, fabric store upholstery foam is always expensive, you can usually find walmart or amazon foam mattress toppers in whatever thickness you want for cheaper, you can buy the biggest size and then cut it. I bought a 3" queen foam mattress topper for 20$ last year on target clearance and used it to make an upholstered headboard.
omg it looks so good!!!!
U guys gotta come watch the finals w us now!
This is great! You did a good job! This is exactly the modular design I want for a patio set. I sew and am getting into wood working as well so if you have tools, skill, and time you could probably do this for half the price. Ali Express is a good source for cheap cheap foam and batting. I'd splurge on fabric. Glue a high density foam to the memory foam and bam, firmer seating. I like super firm couches
THIS IS AMAZING! For me as an interior designer this is so cool! I'll do this in my future home 😂 and that way you even have 2 extra beds for guests, sofas are something I don't use anyways, just use beds and you can actually use it was beds 😂🤗🤗🤗
FANTASTIC. I love that you have the L shape couch + a King sized guest bed + an extra comfy COUCHPOD (that guest bed arrangement but as a great way to spend the day watching movies). AND it can be two couches or 1 hella long couch. I hope the time, money and effort serve you two for a very long time. Great project and thank you for giving us all the details.
Thanks so much!!
Finally a comment not complaining about the amount of money she spent like it's her money not yours lol 😂
@@renp3663 Every single person values different things and values the same thing differently. If you want to buy a $500 couch and call it a day, knock yourself out. @rachspeed and her fella valued the feel and look of linen, lots of space to crash and relax. I think they rocked it.
wow i actually really love this couch. I've been watching these cloud sofa tutorials tonight mostly cringing bc most of the ones I've seen look cheap and ugly and definitely won't survive the end of the trend, but this one is really nice and versatile and cool. I can really imagine that you'd keep that for a long time even if you had to reupholster or whatever.
Omg Rachel this is PERFECT timing!!! My bf and I are moving in together soon and I have the same criteria as you and I love how this looks! Totally want to do it
This is so cool! And super versatile, I love it!
The Cloud couch is absolutely my favorite couch. I love the comfy look.
Oh wow. You did a great job. I was actually considering doing something like that but my boyfriend wasn’t really into DIYing a couch. Luckily we found an L shaped, sectional with the type of look I wanted. I still think this DIY would be a great option for a guest bedroom so you can utilize the space more often since guest bedrooms tend to turn into the place nobody really ventures in until they have guests.
You guys are so crafty! Just love it 💕💕 💕
Looks great. And thanks for giving the cost breakdown.
There’s something about putting your hard work and love into a piece. I feel like that makes it worth every penny
Literally doing this. I don’t know why I never thought of using bed frames!!!! Thank you!!!!
Wow once you started adding up the cost - it really adds up!! but looks soo so worth it!! love the sofa!!
I did one for $500! 2 twin zinus mattresses, 2 twin zinus frames (I used bedskirts to cover the black metal). Find/buy high density foam wrapped in batting and cover it with two twin sheets (came with the twin sheet sets I bought. Used the fitted sheet to cover the mattresses). Buy a few king sized pillows, cut open the ends and stuff them with added stuffing for support so you can lean back and not hit your head against the wall (I bought a box of stuffing from Walmart for 20-30 bucks). Get a few cute throw pillows to make it look complete and voila!
Soooooo they charge $10K for a sofa and still charge you to deliver it??? If I’m spending this much on a couch it better be free delivery 😂
and come with a candle lit dinner for 2
To be fair if you have 10k for a soda you probably aren’t too worried about the price of things, including delivery.
Right okay.
Right?! Those people that pay have more money than sense and spoil it for everyone else!
If your spending that much on a couch you better be able to afford a couple hundred on shipping
That’s so beautiful and looks reasonably easy. I love it! I’m totally going to build one. Thank you for sharing this!!! This is so genius, idk why I never thought of it before. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Shopping for couches is so hard! I am so grateful for your video. I am excited to create my own couch now ❤️
Wow that's amazing I never thought you can do diy sofa!! I wish you would have gone about all the details bc I kind of think I want to do that in my future home 😁
I like the fact you can customize it to your own need
BTW first time here glad UA-cam recommend me
THis is such a good idea omg! I want a bigger couch than the typical L couch and not spend +$3000 and be able to move it around. thank you for inspiring me to do something like this ❤️
EXCELLENT! BRAVO!
Thank you so much for sharing. I've had this idea in my head for some time, but in ones head and in reality is two different beast! Now I see it in action and extremely pleased! You like the same $13000. sofa I do! I'm not posh, I want that $13k couch because I spend HOURS on my couch crocheting, watching movies and have 3 broken disc in my spine. I "need" a comfy, softish sofa. Finally I too need a place for company and self to sleep; sometimes the living room and couch is the most cozy more so around the holidays!
We must be soul sisters because you did everything I would do! Extra money on the fabrics (linen sheets, etc), used memory foam toppers.
The best thing about your DIY, is one can start with the bed frame and mattresses, save up and shop around for bargains on everything else. They are functional until the entire sofa is complete. Course if one wanted to make it even more like the $13k sofa, seat cushions can be made and again one can save up to buy goose down with some decent batting.
FTR: I don't know how far they will ship however, "Myers Goods Home & Decor" in Charlotte, NC have a sectional close to the $13k sectional, one can order the pieces wanted. I need 4 pieces, with delivery it came to $1400. I sat on it and inspected in showroom, the fabric is extremely soft and the seat, not firm and not too soft, just right. They work with ya on price a tad. myersgoods.com/products/hobson-sloped-track-arms-sofa-off-white Ask for Pamela.
So inspiring. Never thought one could just make their own sofa but its beautiful and stylish. Really inspiring guys, big ups
This is so dope I’m doing an inspiration board on Pinterest . I plan on doing a diy sofa for my first house ina couple months 🙌🏾 so helpful thx
Omg I wanna to make this! I was just talking about changing my sofa.
This is so good for anyone who wants that deep seated comfy look. I have a traditional home and I found a sectional sofa just like this for about $1200. My husband said it was too deep for company to hangout on because we have a few short friends. We didn't get it, but I am still looking for a happy medium and I think I can tweek your diy to suit us both. Thank you for sharing this awesome diy!
get high density foam wrapped in batting (covered in matching sheets) to put behind pillows. Make your pillows sturdier by stuffing them more and you can close in some of that deep space so people can lean back. I'm short and I made my own sofa this way.
So without the expensive linen it’s £949!! That’s a pretty damn good price, especially with how versatile the sofa is!!
Just found you! This video made me so happy!! You both rock!!Love this ❤️
P.S. I want to do this for when my grandchildren spend night. I have 8!!
Dimensions of the back panels pretty please!? Love this! Great job!
Seriously the BEST DIY video I’ve seen in a really long time and I’m totally going to attempt to make this couch with my boyfriend. Thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain and film! 💗
Looks good! I would recommend upholstering the timber sections on the bed and also adding some eyelets to the underside of the fitted sheets so you can lace them to be nice and taught. Well done though.
Oh, could you explain the eyelets? What are those? I have a fitted sheet that bunches up...I would love to know how to fix that!
They can buy some straps for those instead. It's made exactly for that reason and also keeps it from slipping. It almost looks like suspenders but in a triangle shape with three clamps. That way, there is no holes made in the sheets. 😊
Yes that’s true, you can buy them, but they already have the straps underneath. The eyelets need a reinforcement strip so the sheets don’t rip. You can buy an eyelet gun from your local hardware or haberdashery store. You simply add an eyelet every 20cm or so, then lace it up like a shoe to keep everything super taught. If it were me I would buy upholstery linen and sew zipper covers.
I was thinking the same thing, covering the bottom wood as well.
Thinking to for a cheaper version of the linen one could maybe use painters canvas drop cloth.
My sister has the wayfair couch! It's super comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommend.
Danielle Palmer tell us the name😁
It’s the one Rachel linked. It’s the Octavio sectional. www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/langley-street-octavio-sectional-w001029811.html
I love how informative your video is
... I’ve wanted to build my own sofa for the longest. thank you so much.
I love how it turned out and how adaptable it is + great that you can wash the sheets because couches get dirty
Love this! And the body pillow idea! You might already have extra leftover but I noticed the exposed plywood where the l hooks up and I was thinking "oh no, what if they move somewhere and decide they dont want their sofa against a wall?!" At some point you may want to finish it off but what if you can't find that exact fabric match! It would be easier to stock up while its fresh lol maybe that's just my I-have-three-boys-that-have-induced-my-over-prepared-paranoid-way-of-thinking talking!
I was thinking the same! Invest in an extra sheet now in case she wants to finish off the back later!
Hi! How has this been holding up, are you still happy with everything?? I'm considering doing this...so very curious your thoughts a year later...would you do it again? :) Thanks so much!
I was going to ask the same question. lol hope she responds
Wow I love this I don't even need a new couch but I want one now lol this looks so comfy and homey yet so stylish!!
This is legit so awesome!! Good for you guys!! Enjoy your couch & home!!
I was on here looking for outdoor furniture and came across your vid. This would be perfect. Just stain and protect with wood and use outdoor fabric or canvas cloth. New subbie💞
I was thinking this couch was cute but it was too bad I didn't need one, but then I saw your comment! This would make an amazing outdoor sofa, thanks for the idea!
Woah I want this
Thank you! This was the inspiration I needed! We don't need it for sleeping but it's so nice to watch a movie! Awesome couch!
Love this series 😻😻 this sofa is so beautiful!!
My sofa budget is $500 or less US. Lol
You can get some great buys at Habitat Restores. Check in your area.
Try biglots or buying floor samples at furniture stores.
My friend got hers for $300 - most all big furniture places in Sioux Falls S.D. have a rock bottom sofa somewhere around that price.
Buy a secondhand sofa. Got mine from eBay and it was rarely used. The owners just wanted to get rid of it because it took a lot of room
Definitely shop around. My first sofa when I moved into my own place was $500 for sofa AND loveseat! They had a deal since it was discontinued and was buy the sofa and get a free loveseat 👍🏾 Lasted probably 7 years. I actually still have both items. One is in my basement, the other on my porch.
$1400 on a DIY couch?! Wtf lol I bought my sofa for $1300 from living spaces and they even delivered and set it up.
Yeahhhh, that’s what I was thinking too, the one we’re getting from ikea is $1000, and it’s a large sectional. This doesn’t really seem like you’re saving anything for a super simple couch
Sweet V. Yeah it was a large U-shaped sectional and so it needed to be attached at the ends with brackets.
Sweet V. Have you never seen one? Lool
its not just a couch guys... its a couch and two functional separate beds.
6queen well maybe she has a different couch then you. Maybe yours is not as good as hers, maybe yours is better. But they are different couches though at different stores.
I did this awhile ago- worked out perfect. Got cozy mattresses and my husband made the frame
Never would’ve thought to DIY my couch. This video has changed my life, lol. We’ll be moving soon and this is the perfect way to get the couch of my dreams for the low, lol. Thank you!!
I wish you’ve made a step by step on how you made it this video isn’t as detailed as I thought it would be.
tbh it's pretty easy! just assemble the utaker beds with mattresses + pillows, and then for the back part, cut two lengths of the bed and one width (shorter) of plywood. then take the foam you bought and glue it down using spray adhesive and upholster with whatever fabric (make sure it's a little bigger than the wood but not big enough to cover the back) you choose by pulling tightly and stapling it to the back - can then staple/glue a piece of fabric to hide the back of the wood. then just drill/screw it with multiple screws into the bottom of the bed frame and ur done! (lots of vids for upholstering if u want more visuals on youtube!)
also if you really wanted to make this more inexpensive it would have been a lot cheaper to build the bed frame itself than buy it from ikea i think
I was thinking of something similar for my daughter's room, now that she's a teenager, but what the hell, we also need a new sofa or a sectional. So I've been thinking along the same lines as you and I'm actually surprised by how much more expencive Jysk is in Canada than it is in Serbia.
Looks comfy and useful. Will just adjust to fit my budget!!! Perfect for my grown kids that come home often
I love this- What an incredible result!!
so manny miserables, this is truly an amazing idea there are things I would have done differently but this was is a custome piece made to your own liking and budget!
This is genius! Great job you guys!!
This is amazing!! I hope to see more of these videos!
I am so happy you posted this! Such a smart idea to use the two twin size mattresses! I’m so doing this!!!!
To bad you never looked at Living Spaces, they had an exact dupe for Restoration Hardware’s Coud. It was called the Haven. Most people never think to look at Living Spaces but they often carry dupes for Z Gallerie and Restoration. I got mine there and it’s beautiful and affordable.
They don’t ship to Canada :( a lot of dupes I found don’t!
rachspeed Oh I didn’t know that, we’ll you did great in the end;)
So proud of you guys it’s so stunning! 😍✨
thanks haley!! cant wait to see uuuu
Omg I see the same sofa and I'm trying to build it myself. Glad I found this video
EXACTLY what I had in mind and now I see it come to life. The only thing different is that I want to put down pillows over top the foam bed and get an extra long twin size for the bed that has the corner end. Nice project, well done. Thanks for sharing!
THIS. IS. AMAZING! The fact that you even had the idea to create this in the first place is beyond me! 😱 incredible!!! Not to mention for that price tag!!! Wow!! Thank you for sharing! 💖😍
The back pillows from ikea fjädrar means feathers.
You could easily add the elastic bands on the corners of the sheets to keep the fitted sheet more taunt. Great DIY, thanks for sharing !
definitely think a more permanent solution would be using a more structured fabric to create a cover
Love, love, love, LOVE!! This is so genius!! I'm going to make one with 3 used twin beds to make a U and be a bit more frugal with linens and mattresses but GENIUS!! Thank you so much for the idea!!
OMG thank you! I want a sofa but they're so damn expensive! Thank you!
You should stain the wood part on the bottom of the sofa a dark brown! It’ll compliment the wood flooring nicely.
Omg this is amazing! It came out so so good and I like the idea of using the beds because you can change the sheets on them and wash them! You killed the design!
I absolutely love what you've created. So much so that I want to recreate for myself... what are the measurements for the plywood backing?
This is amazing!! Such a cute sofa!! ❤️
you could upholster the bed for a more finished look
This is TOO GOOD
Wow I love this i am sooo tempted to make one now 😍
She wanted a kind of “high end” sofa, and thinks that IKEA it’s not an option, but still buys two beds from IKEA for $200... makes no sense
sofa police is here!!!
I think what she meant was that for the price she was willing to spend she wanted her sofa to check all the boxes of what she wanted, including the look, utilities, and possibly even the brand
No, you make no sense
It’s entertaining hearing non-Swedish people trying to pronunce swedish words 😂
Sure we are butchering it 😂
Katherine Canon yeah hahah some do
This looks amazing Rach. I’m so impressed with what you’ve done. I’d love to try this DIY I am inspired
Thanks meliks!! Miss u
This is pretty awesome and a great idea. I love the sofa it looks amazing!
