{"title":"Pull Out Sofa Beds","description":"\u003cp\u003eExplore pull out sofa beds that convert by bringing a sleeping section forwards from inside or underneath the sofa. The collection includes traditional sofa beds with a folded mattress concealed within the frame and upholstered platform designs that extend from beneath the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth types open towards the front, but they create the sleeping surface differently.

When required, the bed is drawn forwards and then unfolded, lifted or extended into position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome designs conceal a folded mattress and supporting frame inside the body of the sofa. Others store an upholstered platform below the seat, which moves forwards and joins the existing seating sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening action, number of steps and amount of lifting required vary between models. The term pull out describes the general direction of conversion, not one identical mechanism used across every sofa bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypes of Pull Out Sofa Beds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection contains two main pull out constructions.

Depending on the design, the seat cushions may need to be removed before the frame is drawn forwards and unfolded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mattress forms a sleeping surface separate from the sofa’s everyday seat and back cushions. Its depth, dimensions, support and folding action vary between models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen closed, this type can resemble a conventional sofa because the complete bed remains concealed inside the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the confirmed mattress construction and sleeping dimensions rather than assuming every sofa bed with a hidden mattress provides the same size or support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePull Out Platform Sofa Beds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull out platform sofa beds store an upholstered extension beneath the main seating area.

Instead, the platform and upholstered sections of the sofa combine to create the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mechanism can be used in straight and corner sofa beds.
