MY TWIN BED COUCH

I have been working on this ALL day...It is not completely done because I couldnt hang the couch back since it's late...dont wanna upset the neighbors, lol...I think I will hang the couch back lower than what it's at now....now all I gotta do is cover the mattress and I'll be done with this project!
HOW I MADE MY COUCH BACK (PADDED HEADBOARD)


Pretty much what I did was laid out my material with my "cushioning" I didnt want to spend over $30 for the foam and batting needed so I just used an old comforter that I dont care about. I then pulled as tight as I could and stapled it with my staple gun. I started on one side, went to the other and then did the ends last. I plan to mount this on the wall with heavy duty picture hangers that hold up to 50 lbs each. (pictured below), they were about $3.50 all together at Home Depot.

I am going to try this. I just moved and I no longer have a sofa. Looking for a quick fix for a sofa.
