KING Sofa Bed

Pros and Cons

• Light parts are easy to move solo

Cons

The KING Sofa Bed features a modular 4-in-1 design that allows users to switch between a three-seater sofa, chaise, queen bed, or two singles by stacking, separating, or joining lightweight components. The conversion process is tool-free and can be managed by one person, facilitating straightforward transitions between modes. Its machine-washable bouclé fabric covers support easy upkeep. While the specific mattress materials and thickness are not detailed, the overall design prioritises adaptability for comfort in both seating and sleeping configurations.

Innovation Living Cubed 160 (Fabric Arms)

Pros and Cons

Pros

• One-person conversion is quick and simple
• Includes under-seat bedding storage

Cons

• Cushions must be removed to convert
• Firm mattress may not suit everyone

The Cubed 160 (Fabric Arms) transforms between sofa and bed using an auto-fold leg system that enables easy conversion. By removing the cushions and lifting the seat with the fabric tag, the legs extend automatically as you walk backward, and the backrest folds down; this method allows for one-person operation. It features a No-Zag spring mattress, designed to provide firm, even support for both sitting and sleeping. The inclusion of a bedding box under the seat provides storage convenience. Built with timber and steel, the frame is backed by a manufacturer’s 5-year warranty and a lifetime warranty on the mechanism.
