How to Make a Bed Out of Cushions

Last Updated: October 21, 2021

Have you ever wanted to lie down in a bed, but you couldn't because your parents told you to stay downstairs, or because it was being cleaned? Now, you can make your own in just a few simple steps.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:
Making a Single Person Bed

1
Gather your materials. You'll need the following items:
- 4 couch cushions, preferably square
- 2 blankets/covers/sheets
- 1 small pillow
2
Place 2 couch cushions on the ground next to each other.
3
Stack the other 2 couch cushions over them. This will create a nice, soft place to sleep.
4
Cover the stacked cushions with the two blankets. You can think of this as making your new bed.
5
Place the pillow down wherever you'd like to place your head. Once you've done this, you've completed your single-person bed.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:
Making a Larger Bed

1
Gather your materials. Here's what you'll need to make a larger bed:
- 4 large couch cushions
- 2 large blankets
- 1 large pillow or 2 small pillows
2
Place all four cushions on the floor to create a 2-by-2 array. This means that you should create a square out of the four cushions.
3
Cover the cushions with the two large blankets. Make sure you place them on the bed neatly.
4
Place your 1-2 pillows on the bed wherever you like. Place the pillows down wherever you and your sleeping partner would like to place your heads. After that, you're all done!
