We had a porch swing that I'd love to find or build. The bottom had a metal frame, like a cot. There were thin steel strips connected with cot springs to a pipe framework. It had about a 2" thick canvas-covered seat cushion. The sides were canvas, as was the back, which was also padded. We had it hanging from a 12' porch ceiling, so it had a very slow, easy motion. Something about it made it the most comfortable swing/bed I ever sat on. I call it a swinging bed, because it put you right to sleep!
