Hi Cabezon23,

I like your solution and what you did to make a nice bed. It looks stout and sounds like you had professional testers.

One Question I have with this set up is how do you handle getting stuff out of storage that is under the couch? I see that you have split bottom pads that allow you to only have to lift one side and not the whole length.

In the picture below I can only see that you have to remove both bottom pads and then lift up both long wood supports. Is this how you do it? If you have stuff stored under there that you can live without then that would be great.

Just curious if you had pre planed for that or for you, this is not a big deal (would rather have a cool bed for the kids).

pvstoy, the two support boards pop up now by them selfs as I used at the end spring loaded hinges (Ben from ATC sent them) like the ones for the roof mechanism.

To access the storage area I just have to lift up both seat cushions, the boards pop up and the access is open.

Once the bed is set up you can just lift one of the seat cushions to have access below.
