We are waiting for a mattress to be delivered, and then we'll put together something like this as a living room couch. I'm actually thinking about making two for an L-shaped sectional. See link below picture for instructions. It's very easy, simply a platform with an old door for a back. Instead of an old door, we'll use two open spaced pine boards along the back to allow for an open look. The blogger who made this couch made her own slip cover. I may purchase a fitted futon cover, or just use a fitted sheet with an Indian dhurrie over it.
It can be stained with dark tung oil(a plant resin) which is less toxic than regular stain.

brilliant, and it could even double as a guest bed when needed. love it
Yes, I was thinking the same. My husband likes to sprawl out, so this is a good couch for that - sturdy with a sleeping mattress.
This might be the solution we were looking for, for one of the cottages my parents own. Thanks! I'm going to forward this to my them and see if we have a new building project!
