A sliding mattress accessory is used with an existing mattress support system coupled to an RV slide-out. The accessory includes a secondary deck with a fixed head section, a long deck section and a hinge. The system also includes two long sliding rails longitudinally aligned and mounted to the secondary deck's bottom surface and the primary deck's top surface used with the existing mattress support system. The system includes at least one support mounted on the top surface of the primary deck that supports the fixed head section. The two sliding rails and the fixed support are the same height so the entire secondary deck is elevated approximately 3 inches above the primary deck. A lock mechanism prevents the secondary deck from moving longitudinally over the primary deck. When assembled, the secondary platform is aligned and registered over the primary deck, and a mattress is placed over the secondary deck.

An apparatus includes a fixed plate 902 mounted in a bed cabinet 108 and a rotating plate 904, mounted to a bed frame 106, coupled to the fixed plate 902 at a pivot point 906. A first end of a first lever arm 918 is coupled to the fixed plate 902. A first end of a second lever arm 920 is coupled to the first lever arm at a point between the first end and the second end of the first lever arm 918. The second end of the second lever arm 920 is coupled to the rotating plate 904 at a position that is offset a horizontal distance from the pivot point 906. A first end of a gas spring 908 is coupled to the fixed plate 902 and the second end of the gas spring 908 is coupled to the second end of the first lever arm 918.

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 sofa bed system has four primary components, including a base unit that functions as a storage shell system and serves to delineate, for example, the separation between the living room and kitchen areas. The sofa seat portion includes the sofa seat frame, sofa seat pad, and seat support. The sofa backrest portion encompasses the sofa backrest, backrest frame support, and armrest. The remaining sofa bed components include the bed pad, bed frame, bed frame support and gas spring mechanism. The sofa bed can be stored within the base unit with the sofa seat pad and the sofa backrest pad being disposed outward, hiding much of the sofa bed framework there behind. The sofa bed can be initially opened into a sofa configuration and further opened into the bed configuration through a unique unfolding process.

A chest including a front panel, side panels and a top panel, the top panel including a first sub-top panel and a second sub-top panel hingably connected, a first portion of the front panel being hingably connected to a base of the chest, and a second portion of the front panel hingably connected to the first portion of the front panel and fixed to first sub-side panels, wherein the second portion of the front panel is stored when the chest is in an closed position, the first portion and the second portion of the front panel form a portion of a sleeping platform when the chest is in an open position, and the first sub-top panel is foldable onto the second sub-top panel to reduce a width the top panel extends at least during a transition between the open position and the closed position.
