What is the couch bed?
The bed on the couch is a piece of furniture that can be converted from the couch to the sleeping surface. The most common type of bed on the couch is a sofa of a sleeper or bedroom that has a folding mattress that can be placed under the couch pillows when it is not used. Other types of couches that can be converted into a bed include futons and folding sofas that allow the seat to be folded, and provides essentially a straight surface on which to sleep without having to pull the mattress.
A bed with an eject on the couch is equipped with a mattress mounted on a metal frame that can be folded on top of each other. The metal frame is suspended in several places to allow folding, and when it is pulled, the legs are folded down to support the remote end of the frame. The mattress for such a bed is generally much thinner than a typical bed mattress, because it would not be allowed to compose otherwise. These types of couches tend to be significantly heavier than other models, because the metal bed frame can add a fair amount of weight.
Futon is a type of couch that folds down by lowering the seat on the couch. This design is based on traditional Japanese beds, but they work differently. The mattress itself is similar to traditional styles, although it is probably much stronger. Many people prefer futons over the couch, because the mattress is stronger and more comfortable, as well as easier settings and removing. Futons are often mounted on wood or metal frames that are suspended in the center to allow folding.
The more modern versions of the couch bed tend to imitate the function of the futon, but with a more aesthetically pleasing design. Some beds on the couch can be designed to look just like any other couch, with different materials, patterns and colors, but like a futon. Sometimes the couch contains pillows that are folded down, use it as sleeping pillows.
Some specially designed couch models are madefor RV that have a limited space inside. The couch can be folded down to form a sleeping surface, and when no one sleeps, the couch can be folded back to provide a seated surface for life, eat food, relax or sit while the vehicle is moving.
