Slidable Sleeping Sofas

The Vento Convertible Bed Couch Does Not Need to be Pulled Out

— April 3, 2013 — Art & Design
Unlike an ordinary pull out couch, the Vento convertible bed couch does not require any heavy lifting or spring mechanisms in order to operate.

Simply slide one side of the L-shaped sofa to meet the other side and it instantly transforms into a comfortably spacious sleeping space. Without having to be unfolded, this bed is a much sturdier surface that won't cave in the middle or squeak whenever someone moves a muscle. It also eliminates any risk of breaking down or getting stuck halfway through opening, making this sofa bed a much more reliable solution that most pull out couches.

No difficult manual labor is required with the Vento convertible bed couch and it looks just as stylish as a cozy bed as it does as a large corner sofa.
Trend Themes
1. Slidable Furniture - Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create slidable versions of other furniture, such as tables or chairs.
2. Sturdy Convertible Furniture - Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create more sturdy convertible furniture solutions using sliding mechanisms instead of pull-out beds.
3. Efficient Apartment Furniture - Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create apartment-sized furniture that is both stylish and efficient like the Vento convertible bed couch.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can leverage the Vento convertible bed couch's slidable mechanism to revolutionize other types of furniture.
2. Home Goods Retail - Home goods retailers can offer a more reliable furniture solution to customers with the Vento convertible bed couch and capitalize on the trend towards more efficient living spaces.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can recommend the Vento convertible bed couch to clients as a stylish and practical addition to small living spaces.
