I tried to find a decent fancy dog bed/couch for the kids for Christmas and I couldn’t find one for less than $100, so I decided to make one myself! I had a 30x30 cushion from TJ Maxx (purchased for $10) and went to a local Home Depot to get some other supplies. I had someone from the Lumber department cut a piece of plywood to a 30x30 square (the entire plywood piece was $25) and then a 1x6x10 board (also $10) that I had them cut into 2 30 inch pieces and two 28 inch pieces (you need an extra inch to account for the other board widths. So for a total of $45 and some time I could make the crew a pretty swanky dog bed. Some other options you could purchase would be small legs to add height to the bed (they also sell these at home improvement stores), I decided to use scraps of wood I already had to add a small amount of height and skip the legs. Some other handy items for this project are wood glue, screws, sand paper, stain/paint.
