Zips (round three sides)

Note: Once the mattress is folded closed, none of the zips will be visible (being at the sides and back).The sofa back cushion will also have a zip so all covers can be removed for washing / interchanging.In case of staining, there are a choice of two surfaces for the back cushion and four surfaces for themattress to use as the visible, seating side.

To make the other drawings clearer, I have chosen to omit the Lip which keeps the Sofa Seat in place during the day. This operates as follows :

Section : Bed Closed Section : Bed Open

Bed Extension(supported by

castors)

Bed Frame and Drawers

Bed Base (folded)

Bed Base (unfolded)

Cutaway in Bed Extension Ledge (to allow Lip to

rotate on hinge)
