In these days where practicality dictates form and function, this sofa bed is ideal as it uses space efficiently. As a sofa, it showcases its timeless good looks by not only providing comfortable seating but promotes good posture. When converted into a bed, its steel frame supports a wire mesh mattress base which provides a good foundation for the foam mattress – no more saggy sleep feeling overnight nor achiness the day after. For the ultimate in hygiene, the solid foam mattress is covered in a removable and washable quilted mattress cover – an easy unzip, wash, and rezip back not only provides a clean but fresh feeling – ready and welcoming for the next guest. The sofa-to-sofa bed and vice-versa conversion are simple. Converting from a sofa to a sofa bed is just a matter of pulling the back strap and the bed tumbles out. No need to undergo the hassles of yesteryears when the seat and back cushions have to first be removed (not to mention finding a storage place for them). To convert the bed into a sofa, it is just slightly lifting the bottom part of the bed to assist the mechanism to tumble itself back into the sofa frame. It even has a built-in compartment to store pillows, sheets, and a comforter. The cover of this sofa bed is a 100% Polyester Water Resistant and Abrasion Resistant Performance Fabric. Accidental spills can be removed with just a quick wipe. Cleaning is a light dusting and if needed, with a damp cloth. Practicality is the hallmark of this double-duty sofa bed. 100% Made in Italy and comes with two matching pillows covered in the same Performance Fabric.
