  • I really wanted a couch for my apartement so I decided to make my own. I happened to have a bunch of stuff (trash) left over that I recycled into this thing, mainly two old mattresses, I used the springs from one of them for additional padding and the foam from another for the cushions. The base is made from reclaimed wood beams I got for free. The only things I bought for this was the steel tubing (45x45x2mm, about 50€) and the fabric for the covers, again about 50€. A friend helped with the layout and sewing for those (thanks!)

    Hey everyone. Since people are still asking me for measurements and plans, I have decided to create plans for the Couch 2 years after building it 😅
    You can buy them on my etsy store for a small price: www.etsy.com/listing/731222822

    I've been building furniture professionally for 30 years, an electric bread knife works great for cutting foam. Spraying some silicone on the blades will help in cut a little better, good look.
