Functional transverse mechanism

A sofa bed with the functional transverse mechanism is a sofa bed that, after unfolding, produces a bed where the sofa width becomes the bed length. In other words: one lies along the wall. With some models with this system, the sofa does not have to be unfolded completely when one person comes to sleep on it. Removing the cushions is often sufficient.

When two persons of the sofa bed use, it can be unfolded over the long side. Because the sleeping direction is along the wall, the total unfolded size will be almost as wide as the bed width. This makes sofa beds with this mechanism very suitable for narrower rooms.

The sofa beds with the functional transverse mechanism are often supplied with a cold foam, inner spring or pocket spring mattress with a solid spring base. You can then consider a slatted base or metal grid. Many of these types of sofa beds have a spacious storage compartment. Due to the simplicity of the mechanism, this system has a long lifespan, depending on the chosen fabric quality and the extent of use. Easy Living has a wide range sofa beds with this mechanism.
