Hi,
I want to have a sofa/some seating underneath my high sleeper (loft bed). Here is the bed:
[img]http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/images/products/tromso-loft-bed-frame__0104168_PE263669_S4.JPG[/img]
It is 200cm long and 90cm wide. I want the sofa to stretch across the 90cm, so that I can stretch my legs out along the 200cm part.
I've looked around for 'small sofa' and 'loveseat' but everything I find is either stupid or overpriced - my budget is about £80. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to build this DIY seating? I'd like to be able to just collapse into it, needs to be really comfy but also sturdy. The height of the sofa isn't a problem because the bed is really tall, but I'd rather it be fairly low, i.e the place where I sit should be really close to the groun
I checked out bespoke cushion makers, but it costs like £120 just for the cushion which I was planning to use as the base of the sofa, so that's out.
Regarding tools, I have a power drill and a hacksaw, but I'm sure I can borrow tools from various friends if need be.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hardly anyone uses craigslist in the UK, and I've been looking at ebay and Gumtree for ages with no luck
There was this chair what used to be sold at Ikea, it could be used as a chair, or it could be unfolded into like a bed sorta thing, it used a stuffed sorta matress (just like a pillow stuffing) as the pillow for the chair, it cost about £70-100 quid

That sounds decent, how long ago was this?
It's there still.

could you link it please?
Why can't you use the internets?

I tried looking for it on the Ikea site but couldn't find it
It's under sofa beds I think. Or your IKEA doesn't have it.
Hmmm I checked the website and the closest thing they have to what warlord described was a 'chair bed' for £130
It's called a chaise lounge, it's what you're looking for. Ikea has tons.

Yeah chaise longue was one of the search terms I was using but all the chaise longues seem to be really expensive :(

Well if you are going to ikea you may (big may here) be able to buy pieces of the set. I don't know, I haven't been to ikea in years. . .
