Sleeping Beauty Futon: Downloadable Woodworking Plan

This sofa/sleeper is a great addition to the den, family room, or home office that gets pressed into service as a guest room. Or build it as the first piece of the living room set, adding the matching pieces. A television stand and a knockdown modular shelving unit round out the set, sharing the same crisp lines and simple construction.

Note: Our sofa/sleeper uses a standard futon mattress.

In the upright position, this project measures 30" deep by 80" long and 32" tall.
