Sleeping Comfort for Today’s Modern Homes
Inside the World’s Best
Sofa Sleepers
Leggett & Platt Furniture Hardware Division also manufactures sofa sleeper
systems that are designed to create a comfortable bed in a compact space.
Our fully assembled sleeper systems are sold to upholstered furniture
manufacturers who then install them into their sofas.
These components are made primarily from steel tubing along with Leggett &
Platt’s exclusive Pro-Deck™ system, which provides virtually indestructible
support for both the seating and sleeper surface. This creates a dual-purpose
sofa sleeper, providing the ultimate seating and sleep system comfort.
Component sizes vary by width and can accommodate both residential and
contract markets (contract markets include hotels, motels, and resorts). All
mechanisms can be matched to a high-quality, comfortable mattress.
