A convertible couch with concealed storage includes an upper seat back, a seat bottom adapted for sliding inwardly for a first mode and sliding outwardly for a second mode, and an articulating seat section between the upper seat back and the seat bottom. The articulating seat section converts between a lower seat back in the first mode and an inner seat bottom in the second mode. The first mode is adapted for seating and the second mode is adapted for lying and reclining. A storage location housing convenience features is located behind the articulating section, such that the storage location and convenience features are concealed in the first mode and accessible in the second mode.

A convertible furniture system or futon includes a convertible frame assembly that is mountable in an interior space and is deployable between a bench configuration and a flat, bed configuration. The frame assembly includes a back frame and a bottom frame that are pivotably coupled together and coordinate to form either the bench configuration that provides a user an upright seat or the bed configuration that provides the user a flat, substantially horizontal bed to lie down on. A user can maneuver the system from the bench configuration into the bed configuration and vice versa. The system may include an actuator, such as a spring mechanism or motorized linear actuator. The system includes various support elements mounted to upright walls and the support elements may be selectively engaged to support the system in the bed or bench configurations and during deployment and stowage of the system.

A frame subassembly of a foldable bed frame includes a seat deck, a back deck, and armrests. The frame subassembly includes a portion of the seat deck connected to a portion of the back deck; and a fixed pivot point connecting the back deck to the armrests such that the fixed pivot point between the back deck and the armrests does not slide when the foldable bed frame transitions between a folded state and an unfolded state. The foldable bed frame may include a hanger connecting the armrest to the back deck such that the fixed pivot point therebetween is offset. The foldable bed frame may further include an assistance device configured to store elastic energy during a first transition, and release the stored elastic energy during a second transition.

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 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 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.
