The clic clac sofa bed is the first convertible sofa ever designed. It features a simple and robust mechanism that easily transforms your sofa into a real bed. Commonly found in teenagers' bedrooms or to furnish a studio apartment, the clic clac sofa bed is a space-saving piece of furniture that guarantees minimal bulk for great sleeping comfort.
The clic clac sofa system, simple and robust
The clic clac sofa is a convertible bench that opens parallel to the wall. It has no armrests and simply consists of a bed base topped with a mattress that serves as both a seat and a bed. The bed base of the clic clac is made of a sturdy metal frame with wooden slats.
The bed base frame is equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism that allows the sofa bed to be moved from a sitting position to a sleeping position. The mechanism is easily activated by folding the sofa seat towards the backrest.
How much space should I allow to comfortably unfold a sofa bed?
Since the sofa bed unfolds parallel to the wall against which it rests, it is particularly suitable for a rectangular living room or a bedroom already equipped with a bed. It is important to carefully measure the available space in your room, to avoid any unpleasant surprises once the sofa bed is open. The length of the seat represents the length of the bed, which is between 190 and 200 cm.
The width of the sofa is roughly half the mattress, as the mattress is simply folded in half. It can vary from 80 cm to 100 cm depending on the model, and the bed is most often 140 cm wide. Unfolding a sofa bed requires little space, which is why it's the perfect space-saving sofa.
What mattress can be fitted to a convertible sofa bed?
The quality of your sofa bed's mattress is relative to its price. A low-end sofa bed will offer a mattress that's only 6 to 10 cm thick, making it suitable for occasional sleeping. High-quality sofa beds are more expensive but have a mattress that's 13 or even 17 cm thick, making them suitable for regular or daily sleeping.
