Unfolding the mechanism of a Rapido sofa bed is quite intuitive, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable bed in just a few seconds by pulling on the front of the sofa. However, there are a few precautions to take to avoid damaging the folding and unfolding system of your comfortable sofa bed .
Necessary checks before unfolding or folding a sofa bed
A sofa bed unfolds like a 3-part accordion . Therefore, this type of furniture allows for real space savings when used as a sofa. However, when unfolding a sofa bed, it is necessary to allow sufficient space at the front of the sofa so as not to hinder its free deployment.
For convertible sofas that consist of 3 folding parts, allow at least a space at the front of the sofa with a length equal to 3 times the seat of the sofa.
Also, make sure there are no rugs, storage units, or other objects in the area where you plan to unfold your sofa bed. It may be tempting to place a rug on the front of the sofa bed, but when you unfold the sofa bed into a bed, this rug may interfere with the sliding of the sofa's legs as it unfolds.
Steps to unfold the Rapido sofa bed
For a quick and efficient opening of a Rapido convertible sofa , follow these steps!
-
Position yourself facing the sofa , making sure you have enough space in front of you to carry out the manipulations without hindrance.
-
Next, firmly grasp the top edge of the sofa seat and gently pull it towards you, making sure to maintain a smooth, controlled movement.
-
Take a step back while pulling on the front of the sofa, gradually unfolding the two parts that were previously folded in on themselves at the backrest. This movement will reveal the structure of the bed hidden under the seat.
If, after these steps, you notice that the two parts making up the back of the convertible sofa have not fully unfolded, do not hesitate to reposition yourself on the side of the sofa to better understand the angle necessary for the final adjustment.
Apply gentle but firm pressure to the slightly raised portion of the backrest until the bed is completely flat and ready for use. This ensures the bed is fully extended and provides a consistent, comfortable sleeping surface.
Unfolding a sofa generally poses fewer problems for users than folding a sofa bed .
Tips for safe use
For safe use of the sofa bed, clear the space around it before unfolding, avoid forcing the mechanism and ensure that all parts unfold correctly and lock in place.
Finally, handle the sofa bed mechanisms with care to prevent injuries and damage to the furniture.
Advantages of the convertible sofa: practicality and optimized space
Sofa beds are a welcome space-saving solution for optimizing the space and functionality of your apartment, house, or other interior.
Designed to serve as both a comfortable sofa during the day and a welcoming bed at night, they are a practical choice for small spaces such as studios, or as an extra bed in a multi-purpose living room such as a lounge.
But their main advantage lies in the space saving they allow, thus avoiding the need to have a room dedicated to welcoming new guests.
In addition to their versatility, convertible sofas can reduce your decorating costs by combining two pieces of furniture in one. A real relief for your furniture budget!
Finally, the wide variety of convertible sofa models allows you to choose the bench that will fit perfectly into your interior: bz, clic clac, corner sofa, chaise longue... The choice is yours!
Maintenance tips to extend the life of your convertible
To extend the life of your sofa bed, clean the mattress regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and allergens.
Treat stains immediately after such an incident according to the manufacturer's instructions; this will prevent irreversible marks.
Regularly lubricate the folding mechanisms with a suitable product to maintain their smoothness and prevent rust.
Ideally, you should not overload your future sofa so as not to damage the mechanisms.
Finally, protect the fabric from sunlight and liquids to preserve the color and texture of the coating.
