    i think these are a good beta version. I have yet to see it professionally done.. not to take away from these wooden versions or the metal custom fit one.. I couldn't do it! I just am looking for something.. different. a platform that is comfortable without needing to throw a mattress on.

    Comfortable without the mattress? why is this?


    yes, the mattress is directly on top, I store the projector screen and shower/restroom pop up under the mattress.

    yes they work as well, ill snap some pictures now as I am 3D scanning the area. I'm 6'2" so I needed all the room I could get. might make a video for you as well.

    because of the obvious? fire hazard..dust collector.. takes up space... humidity home for mold creation.. it can be done waaay better

    I used a $20 sheet of half inch plywood, scrap 2x4’s, a 3” corner brace with wing nuts and bolts to make the platform that attaches to the two holes below the seat.

    i went to a carpet store and took two 4x2 carpet samples and just cut them with a razor blade and stapled them to the wood. For everything including the original cost of the 2x4’s I think I’m around $40-$50 on this build IMG_3368.jpeg IMG_3369.jpeg IMG_3370.jpeg IMG_3371.jpeg IMG_3372.jpeg IMG_3368.jpeg IMG_3368.jpeg IMG_3369.jpeg IMG_3370.jpeg IMG_3371.jpeg IMG_3372.jpeg
