Is it a sofa or is it a bed? This double-duty sofa bed is unlike any regular sofa bed as it sits like a sofa and sleeps like a bed. Considerable thought and refinement have been incorporated into this sofa bed. As a sofa, the design with its wide arms doubles as a place not only for a drink but also provides unparalleled armrest support. For relaxing, an adjustable headrest cradles the neck and head for support whether it is reading a book, browsing a tablet, or watching TV. As a bed, the sofa bed mechanism is made of steel and has two independent wood slats to support two individuals for minimized transfer of motion. A true US queen-sized Memory Foam Mattress is included (measuring 60" x 78"). The mattress has a removable washable cover for the ultimate in hygiene and an unmistakable clean and fresh feeling. Converting from a sofa to a bed is as simple as a pull of the back strap – not much effort is needed. The inertia of the initial movement tumbles the bed out. Converting from a bed to a sofa requires a gentle lift of the bed frame and the bed will tumble into the frame. Unlike other models which require the seat and back cushions to be stored separately, this integrated design is just practical and efficient. This sofa bed is covered in Top Grain Leather throughout unlike other (cheaper) options – the leather on the seating surface is used on the sides and back even when it does not come in contact with the user. Using the same material eliminates wrinkles and stretches as the seasons change and eliminates that different feeling due to fewer quality materials like split hides or synthetic materials. This sofa bed is unlike any other – design, craftsmanship, and quality materials offer comfort and practicality. It is what a true Made in Italy piece is about. For when you need something that sits like a sofa and sleeps like a bed.
