how do you convert sofa into a bed?
515057
It's a pretty simple maneuver. You lift the seat up from the front until it's about 90 degrees and the back is flat/parallel to the floor, you should hear a click, and then when you pull the seat back down, the back stays down as well and you have a flat surface. Same thing to go back to a sofa - you lift the seat up to 90, the hinges lock, and you pull it back down to a sofa. One of my hinges "broke" after a few conversions, but it turns out it just gets stuck in one position, so I have to manually move part of the hinge each time. Not a big issue though, it's still very easy to go back and forth.

It's like a futon. You lift up on the front and the seat should slide up and the back down and then you push the seat back down. Sometimes mine needs coaxing, and you have to make sure you got it together right. The first time we assembled it we didn't quite get it right and couldn't make a bed.

I am considering this sofa, I like the looks of it. My current sofa has limp back cushions so I add an old pillow or buy a bag of stuffing at the fabric store to plump up the back cushions.

It is almost as big as a full size bed. However this is not flat in the middle. to make the bed, the back goes down to form a bed with the seat. The back and seat are fuller in the middle the ends meaning the middle of the bed 'v's down. This sofa is still a value. very attractive.

I would suggest you remove mattress support. I used with my sofa bed when I have guests. Great support, but it may compromise the support boards if you fold in with sofa bed, because they have a certain pattern that it is pre-folded into.

I have the exact same question. Did you end up buying it AnnD? Did it work? I would like to use it in my fabric sofa as well... Thank you in advance

Yes you can. I made a slipcover for my sofa & used a regular sewing machine for the whole thing. Hope this helps ... good luck!!

Yes! You just have to decide which way you would like it then follow the directions for the assembly. Once it is togther though no changing back unless you want to take apart the whole sofa

I would say to measure your sofa bed to be sure. But I will tell you this - it makes a HUGE difference in comfort. Worth every penny!

the mattress can be used on a sofa bed. It is too large to fold up into the bed

No, but I wouldn't waste your money on this sofa. I bought this and it broke so I returned it. I am now the proud owner of the Serta sofas (you can find them on Amazon as well) and they are comfy and beautiful! Good luck!

This item does require assembly. It is my understanding that Sofab has moved away from the spring loaded cushions. The cushions now have a solid foam core with ZIPPED sofa fiber wrap. These cores are really nice and have improved the product line overall.

I am sure that you could use it on a sofa bed for extra support as long as the bed is open. You can't fold it up along with the mattress and store it inside the sofa bed. You would have to remove it and store it elsewhere.

I'm not home so cannot verify this now, but the two listed measurements are for the sofa bed (when it's open) and the sofa (when it's closed). L x W x H 72 x 51 x 19 in. (Sofa Bed; so the length is within the arms of the sofa or what a sheet would cover) 83 x 38.5 x 34 in. (Sofa; so length is from the outside of the arms) If you're trying to fit it into a space, that space needs to be greater than 83 inches wide to fit the length of the sofa. You'll have to pull the sofa away from the wall to open it into a bed, which will bring it from 38.5 inches from the wall to 51 inches from the wall. I'm assuming height isn't an issue here, but for clarity of the different measurements, when it's open into a bed, it's 19 inches off the floor. When it's closed into a sofa, the top of the back is 34 inches from the floor.

I don't know you may ask the seller but I guess that you can't. The sofas are quite smaller in terms of depth (something to consider).
