SETTING nycer a L D: “od i REALTY LT): aa ta CLUSIVE, ' _ Today's sofa beds come in all the major furniture styies HOW TO GET THE BEST VALUE : WHEN BUYING a0 ASOFA BED One of the most versatile pieces of furniture in the home today is the convertible sofa bed. No longer the unwelldy and uncomfortable product of yesterday. and many different choices of fabrics. They also come in a range of sizes from loveseat to super Queen, as well as sectional designs to match or co-ordinate with modular Broupings. For this reason a sofa bed can go everywhere from a small alcove in a bachelor apartment to a stylish living room, . . A bofa bed Je basically performing two very important functions, i.e, comfortable seating by day and sleeping by night, £0 it is important to look for a quality product that will serve you well. _ Following are some guidelines from Simmons to help you get the best value when shopping for a sofa bed: “First, take the welght off your feet and sit down on the sofa. Tt should compare favorably both in comfort and seating height with a regular sofa. You should be able to alt anywhero* from arm toarm without any feel of mechanism underneath, ! Chock also that the seat cushions fit tightly into corners and | ' that there isn't a gap between cushions and the back of the ~ sofa as is often the casein cheaply made models, - ~ Next, ask about the upholstery fabric. Many sofa beds today are upholstered in olefin which is a nonabsorbant, stain repellant fiber,.and now comes in some excellent stylings. ' Alternatively, think about a stain-resistant finish. Many! fabrics, particularly cottons, aré already treated with a finish, but if not, itis usually well worth the little extra cost to have this done, Nylon, too, Is popular in upholstery fabrics | today and also 100 percent polyster, which has the look of cotton but far greater wearubility. Now it ig time to get down to the real nitty-gritty, ie. the mechanism. And this ia where you are going to benefit with a quality product. First, check the ease with which you can open the sofa bed. It will make quite a difference if it Is in Soastant use. A well-sprung and braced bed should ensure : Very. Important, too, is to check that there aren't any protruding parts. These should all be well beneath the Sloeping surface, If not, watch out for bruised shins or elbows and algo tattered linens or blankets, Think of your rug too, On some cofa beds the front legs are capped to protect rugs, _ Another, and more rellable method is the combined footend and stop-lock bar used in the Hide-A-Bed frame by Simmons, This acts both to protect and rug and also prevent the mechanism from ‘flying open’’. ” The mattress should provide basicaliy similar comfort for yourself or guests as you'd get on a regular bed. Don't be afraid tolie down and test one, just as you would when buying a bed. A good innterspring mattress should be standard with quality models and it is quite easy to compare these with the more cheaply made ones. Slmmona also makes a specially constructed Beautyrest mattress for additional comfort on Hide-A-Hed sofas. Because the mattress will have ta be folded and unfolded many times, a foam mattress tends not to bold its shape as well as a quality innterspring. . The majority of sofa beds have a ‘tilt mechanism’ for ease of cleaning underneath, You could ask to see how this works. Finally, when you have the sofa bed of your choice at home, remember not to close it with everything but the kitchen sink ‘ inside. Simmons recommends that the sheets and one blanket be left Inaide to ensure that the mechanism ‘works bothty and well and gives you comfort for many years to come. . ‘Listing.
