Precautions before handling a sofa bed

Before handling a sofa bed, it is essential to take a few precautions to guarantee both your safety and the durability of the furniture. First of all, make sure that the space around the sofa bed is clear to avoid any obstacles during handling.

Remove bulky or fragile objects that could obstruct the tilting movement. Next, check the condition of the mechanism by inspecting the hinges and moving parts for possible signs of wear or malfunction. It is recommended to handle the click-clack gently to avoid damaging the internal mechanism.

Use both hands to lift the seat, following the characteristic clicks that indicate the correct positions. Also make sure that the mattress and bedding elements are securely in place and do not obstruct the movement of the sofa.

Finally, if the sofa bed is equipped with a storage box, check that it is correctly closed to avoid any obstruction. By taking these precautions, you will be able to transform your sofa bed safely and extend its lifespan.

How does the click-clack mechanism work?

Whatever the dimensions of your sofa bed, the mechanism of this convertible operates in the same way. Its unfolding and folding system is both simple and ingenious, operating by tilting parallel to the wall. Here is how it works in detail:

• Tilting parallel to the wall : The click-clack mechanism allows the seat to lift and fold parallel to the wall. This movement is fluid and does not require clearing a lot of space around the furniture, which is ideal for small spaces.

• Characteristic clicks : When handling the click-clack, you will hear distinct clicks that will guide you through the different positions. Two clicks indicate that the mechanism is in the sleeping position, while one click corresponds to the relax position. These reassuring noises let you know exactly when each position is reached.

• Access to the storage box : In addition to its tilting system, the sofa bed offers practical access to a storage box located under the seat. To access it, simply tilt the seat forward. This chest is perfect for storing sheets, pillows and other accessories, freeing up space in the room.

This mechanism, combining simplicity and efficiency, allows you to quickly and easily transform your sofa into a bed and vice versa. The sofa bed adapts perfectly to daily use, offering both comfort and practicality.

What are the advantages of a click-clack system?

The click-clack system has many advantages that make it an ideal solution for small spaces and everyday use. Here is a detailed overview of its main advantages:

• Real bed base with wooden slats : The sofa bed is equipped with a bed base with wooden slats integrated into the metal frame. This box spring offers optimal support and adequate ventilation of the mattress, thus guaranteeing superior sleeping comfort. This feature is particularly valuable for those who use the sofa bed as their main bed.

• High density polyurethane foam mattress : Coupled with the slatted base, the high density polyurethane foam mattress provides firm and comfortable support. This type of mattress is ideal for daily sleeping, as it adapts well to the contours of the body, reducing pressure points and providing restful sleep.

• Easy access to the storage box : The sofa bed has an integrated storage box under the seat, accessible by simply tilting it. This chest is perfect for storing pillows, duvets and other bedding accessories. In the morning, you can easily slide these items into the trunk, freeing up space in the room and reducing clutter.
