A sleeper sofa having a bridge joint to inhibit bowing between frames in a sleeper position is provided although other folding articles are contemplated. The sleeper sofa has a first frame section and a second frame section foldable/pivotable from a first sitting position to a second sleeping position. When in the sleeping position, the bridge joint extends under and between the first and second frame section to provide support to inhibit bowing at the junction between the first and second frame section. The bridge joint includes a pivot axle and an anti-buckling member coupled to a pivot guide having a track. The anti-buckling member travels in the track as the first and second frames are unfolded about the pivotal axle.

An adjustable reclining chair having zero wall clearance has a frame and an adjustable support platform with a plurality of articulated support sections pivotally mounted with respect to one another for relative angular adjustment. An actuator means for effecting co-ordinated movement of said support sections to reconfigure the chair between a seated position and a sleeping position in which the articulated supporting sections lie in a substantially horizontal plane (H). One of the articulated support sections is a seat support inclined relative to the horizontal plane when the chair is in the seated position and substantially in the horizontal plane when the chair is in the sleeping position.

A sofa with adjustable coupled headrest and backrest includes a base movably connected with a side panel and a coupling sheet for backrest hinged at the side panel, and a backrest assembly including a connection element of backrest with a front end hinged at a rear end of the side panel at an upper positionn and a connection rod of backrest with an upper end hinged at a rear end of the connection element of backrest, and with a lower end hinged at the coupling sheet for backrest, the base is provided with a drive member to switch a backrest frame to a lying position, and a coupling assembly for headrest configured to force the connection element for headrest to flip relative to a backrest skeleton is provided between the connection rod of backrest and the connection element for headrest.

Electric motor dual drive for an adjustable support device for supporting a box spring mattress or an upholstered bed, which includes a frame and plate-like supporting parts pivotably adjustable relative to one another, and includes a fixed central supporting part, one end of which is articulatedly connected to an upper body supporting part pivotably connected around a horizontal pivoting axis. The other end of which is articulatedly connected to a leg supporting part pivotably connected around a horizontal pivoting axis. Dual drive includes a base on which two drive units are arranged. Each drive unit is drive-couple connected in the installation position of the dual drive with a pivot lever. The pivot levers are attached pivot-mounted to the base and disposed in operative connection with an adjustable supporting part to adjust the same supporting part and the dual drive is formed for toolless installation on support device.

A zero-wall trifold sofa bed includes a sofa base, where the sofa base is provided with two symmetrical folding assemblies; the folding assemblies each include a first long arm and a second long arm that are pivoted to a front side of an inner wall of an armrest box of the sofa base; the first long arm and the second long arm are jointly pivoted to a first assembly element for assembling a first sofa base; a middle part of the first long arm is provided with a first short arm; a middle part of the second long arm is provided with a second short arm and a third short arm; the first short arm and the second short arm are jointly pivoted to a second assembly element for assembling a second sofa base; the third short arm is pivoted to one end of a connecting rod.

A sofa bed has a seat portion, a backrest portion and a hinge mechanism including a first section, a second section and a third section sequentially and pivotably connected. The first section is fixed to a side of the seat portion. The second section is fixed to a side of the backrest portion. A protruding portion is provided at a position where the first section is connected with the second section. Each of the armrest frames is formed with a slideway for receiving and guiding the protruding portion. An end of the third section opposite to the second section is pivotally connected to the armrest. The first section and the second section are be lockable to place the main body frame into a sofa configuration. The sofa bed can be easily switched between sofa and bed positions.

A seating unit that includes a foldable bed includes: a base with an internal cavity; a foldable bed that includes separate and distinct head, intermediate and seat sections; and a bed folding mechanism. In a folded position, the intermediate and seat sections are generally horizontally disposed and positioned in vertically stacked relationship, and the head section is generally vertically disposed and positioned adjacent a rear portion of the base, with an outer surface of a cushion of the head section forming the rear surface of the seating unit, and in an unfolded position, the head, intermediate and seat sections are generally horizontally disposed and in serial alignment with each other. The bed folding mechanism is attached to the base and the head, intermediate and seat sections and controls the movement of the bed between the folded and unfolded positions.

A furniture member may include a base frame, a seat bottom and an ottoman assembly. The seat bottom is attached to the base frame and defines a seating surface. The ottoman assembly may include a drive assembly that moves an ottoman platform relative to the seat bottom and the base frame among a retracted position, an extended position and a raised position. The ottoman platform includes a support surface that faces upward and away from a ground surface in the retracted, extended and raised positions. The ottoman platform is disposed beneath the seating surface in the retracted position and moves linearly in a horizontal direction from the retracted position to the extended position. The ottoman platform moves linearly in a vertically upward direction from the extended position to the raised position.

A sofa bed can solve the problem of where to place a sofa in a smaller space or inside a recreational vehicle. The sofa can be completely flattened out to become a sofa bed. When not needed or when space is limited, the sofa bed can be folded directly against the wall. The sofa bed can include a back support cushion, a seat cushion and a leg rest. The back support and seat cushions can be supported by a frame underneath. A system of spring-loaded rods can be under the leg rest. These parts can be completely flattened or turned into a sofa, with the leg rests covering the frame underneath the sofa. The sofa can be folded to the wall, controlled by hydraulic rods at the bottom. The legs of the sofa bed and the hydraulic rods can be designed to not protrude from the wall when folded.

A folding bed, such as a sofa bed, with an assembly configured to counteract the gravitational forces acting on both a rotation of the main panel in relation to the frame and a rotation of the foot panel in relation to the main panel. A transmission may be used in the assembly to connect the first pivotal connection, where the main panel pivots with respect to the frame, to the second pivotal connection, where the foot panel pivots with respect to the main panel. The transmission transmits torque from the first pivotal connection to the second pivotal connection, so as to counteract gravitational forces acting on the foot edge of the foot panel.
