Crash Pad Couches?
|
I’m looking at making a crash pad couch, probably using the Black Diamond Impact or Circuit pad. Has anyone made a frame or bought one? Any tips or ideas? Thanks |

We have a Rockstar Volumes frame with the BD Impact pad. A few thoughts:

I made one in college to fit my Organic Full Pad and used it as a couch for a couple months before moving. Took an afternoon to mock up in Fusion360 and then was able to cut it out of a single sheet of plywood using the school's CNC router. If anyone's interested I can dig up the design files... |

Escape climbing has a nice simple lightweight one for $119. Surprisingly comfortable. |

Found the original design file, which should be viewable using viewer.autodesk.com, but I'm too lazy to put together a dimensioned drawing at the moment. If anyone makes one of these, I'd recommend adding cutouts to the back and seat, just to make them lighter and easier to transport. I meant to go back and add them in but never got around to it once I had a functional couch. With the price of plywood right now, it might even be cheaper to just buy the Escape Climbing option instead of messing with my design. During school I got wholesale prices on birch plywood, so I think the whole thing cost me $40. I sold it a year later for $80 and was happy to double my money! |
