In a one bedroom flat or a studio, an overnight guest means the floor or an air mattress that deflates by morning. A proper sofa bed needs a sofa sized wall you probably do not have.

Folded, it occupies 32 inches of floor as a single chair. Opened, it becomes a 73 inch by 25 inch bed, and the folding legs stored in the backrest come down to carry the middle. Nothing has to be dismantled to get there.

One piece, three shapes

The chair in its folded position, with the three stages drawn along the bottom: upright chair, part open lounger and fully flat bed. The armrests are padded tubes and the legs are square section metal, which is what supports it at every stage.

Three sets of measurements

As a chair it is 30 inches high, 32 deep and 25 wide. As a lounger it stretches to 57 inches. As a bed it measures 73 inches long by 25 inches wide, standing 12 inches off the floor. The panel heading prints a 400 lb capacity for all three positions.

The same object, three evenings

The maker's own set of three: someone sitting with a mug, the same seat half open as a lounger with their legs up, and finally lying flat as a bed. Nothing is added or removed between the pictures. That is the whole argument for this design.

Six stops, not two

The backrest angle diagram: 90, 108, 126, 144, 162 and 180 degrees. Six positions rather than sit or lie means there is an angle for reading, one for watching something, and one for sleeping, each of them a fixed stop rather than a guess.

Chair at 32 inches deep, lounger at 57 inches, bed at 73 inches. The change is made by hand with no tools.

Locked stops at 90, 108, 126, 144, 162 and 180 degrees rather than a free hinge that slides.

Folding legs stored in the backrest come down to carry the middle when the bed is flat.

Tubular metal throughout, which is what allows a seat this small to open to a bed.

Filled with elastic sponge and soft PP cotton, with a zipped cover that comes off for cleaning.

The maker's description of the upholstery, over elastic sponge and cotton padding.

Padded tube armrests that stay in place as a chair and fold clear when it opens out.

On every leg, so the frame does not travel across a hard floor when someone shifts their weight.

A 25 inch chair that becomes a 73 inch bed is the version of a guest room that fits in a corner.

Six backrest angles cover reading at a desk, lounging in the evening and sleeping when someone stays.

At 25 inches wide the bed is narrower than a standard single, so this is a few nights a month piece rather than a permanent bed.

What we stand behind

• The three sets of dimensions and the six backrest angles come from the manufacturer's own panels shown in the photos.
• The maker's dimension panel prints 400 lb. The written specification elsewhere in the record says 160 kg, which is about 353 lb. Treat the lower figure as the safe one.
• The bed is 25 inches wide, which is narrower than a standard single, and that is stated plainly rather than left out.
• No mattress thickness, foam density, carton size or net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How wide is the bed, really?

Twenty-five inches, printed on the maker's own panel, by 73 inches long. That is narrower than a standard single mattress, so it suits one adult sleeping straight rather than anyone who rolls. It is a guest solution, not a replacement for a bed frame.

What weight will it hold?

The manufacturer's dimension panel prints 400 lb for all three positions. The written specification in the same record states 160 kg, roughly 353 lb. The two do not agree, so the lower number is the sensible one to work to.

Is it comfortable to sleep on more than once?

It is padded with elastic sponge and PP cotton over a metal frame, with folding legs supporting the middle when flat. That suits occasional nights. For someone staying weeks, a proper mattress is a better answer, and a full sofa bed with a sprung mattress is the usual step up.

Does it need assembling?

The record does not list an assembly step beyond unfolding, and the support legs are built into the backrest rather than supplied loose. No tool list or assembly time is published, so none is quoted here.
