Check required before unfolding or folding a convertible sofa

A convertible sofa unfolds like an accordion into 3 parts . Consequently, this type of furniture saves real space when used as a sofa. But when unfolding a sofa bed, it is necessary to provide sufficient space at the front of the sofa so as not to hinder its free deployment.

For convertible sofas which are made up of 3 folding parts, allow at least a space on the front of the sofa with a length equal to 3 times the seat of the sofa.

Also take care that there are no carpets, storage or objects in the space where you want to unfold your convertible sofa. Indeed, it may be tempting to place a rug on the front of the convertible sofa, but when unfolding the convertible sofa to transform it into a bed, this rug may interfere with the sliding of the legs of the unfolding sofa.
