These are like regular, upholstered sofas. You can lift upthe cushions and fold down the flaps to open into a bed, as thecushions placed on it fit like a mattress,” says Goldee of Goldeefurniture. Besides the fold-down option, sofa-cum-beds alsocome in a pull-out form where the cushions also form the mattress forthe bed. These come in single and double-bed options and fold up tomake a seating arrangement. When they are opened they are the size of abed (single or double depending on whether it was a chair or sofa).
