From Bed To Couch: My Personal Journey

When I first moved into my tiny studio apartment, I knew that I had to make the most of my limited space. One of the biggest challenges I faced was figuring out how to fit both a bed and a couch in the same room without it feeling cramped and cluttered. That’s when I discovered the trend of turning a bed into a couch.

What is a Bed Couch?

A bed couch is essentially a bed that has been converted into a couch during the day. It’s a great space-saving solution for those who live in small apartments or have limited space. You can use it as a comfortable place to sit and lounge during the day and then easily convert it back into a bed at night.

How to Make a Bed Couch?

Converting a bed into a couch is a simple process. Here are the basic steps:

Remove all the bedding from the bed.
Add a fitted sheet to the mattress to protect it from any spills or stains.
Add a few throw pillows to the back of the bed to create a comfortable backrest.
