Decided to finally do some in-home modding, that I had been putting off for a hot minute now. Since I'm moving next month, and everyone hates being picked to help me carry my heavy ass sofa sleeper (which no one uses, cuz it's uncomfortable as hell) I've been wanting to remove the bed altogether. A little less awkward to carry, and not nearly as heavy. I bought a bunch of stuff back in winter, couple 6' lengths of angled steel, 4 steel brackets, wood screws, and some plywood.
Took some twists and turns, and extensions with the drill to get the bed out, but no blood spilled, so that's always a good thing.
Got the brackets screwed in, and angled steel bolted down. Preliminary weight test was good, little bit of flexing but not much. Was considering adding a 5th foot in the middle, connected to the 2 lengths of steel, but I think I may pass on that now.
Drilled some holes in the plywood, fitted some machine screws lined up with the slots in the steel. Washers and nuts to secure things in place, and that's a wrap.
I may take the steel out and lower them another inch or so, things are a LOT more firm than I expected them to be, so some foam padding may be necessary to soften things up again.
