Many years ago I was on an overnight train from Barcelona to Paris. Someone was supposed to come room to room to convert our couch to a bed with a special key-unfortunately, this mythical, uniformed person never made it to our car, trapping us without a bed. My friend and I tried shoving a Swiss Army Knife into every bolt on the sofa-to no avail. We were forced to sleep on the narrow piece of floor even though we had paid for a room upgrade specifically to have that precious bed.

Stylish Sleeper for Hospital Stays

KI Healthcare

furniture knows how to treat people better than this. Their Three Lounge Sleeper comes with a detailed pictorial instruction manual that lets patient visitors convert the couch into a sleeper without any trouble. So anyone having to spend the night at a hospital can sleep easy (or easier in any case). "Designed to put patients and their guests at ease with inviting, stylish seating options that create a relaxing, warm atmosphere," the Three Lounge Sleeper converts to a sleep surface with one easy pull of its patented mechanism.

Three Lounge Sleeper is made of solid beech hardwood and its seat and back cushions can be upholstered in lots of different materials. The couch opens to provide a large, flat sleeping surface: it measures 27.5″ wide by 77″ deep. The idea if for Three to offer different options "for changing seating needs"-a complete sofa, a half-sleeper, and a double sleeper. Always taking into account the needs of the healthcare market, KI designed the Three Lounge Sleeper with under-seat storage for bedding and personal items and optional casters for moving the furniture if needed.
