if I put this sofa along the wall - do I need to move the sofa when I need to convert it into bed?

yes. jut easily slides out and it is not heavy, but I will warn you the cushion in this thing is horrid i need to figure out how to recushion it if it is even possible i cant even use it as a bed anylonger cause there is a huge gap in the middle and you can feel the springs, and i only used it for one week of sleeping... sad for the money you spend it should hold up longer than 2-3 months

Yes, I have mine a few inches from the wall so i dont have to always move it to open it up

With my bed frame it does create a space between the bed and wall. The mattress and frame are against the bookshelf. I have an outlet in the center of my wall and this is the reason I like it so well, that and the fact that I don't scrape my knuckles on my plastered walls. Hope this helps.

Definitely agree. I actually put mine on my sofa. The last thing you want is for it to topple over with a thud which could damage the internals.

I move it from the bedroom to the living room all the time (same floor). I don't like moving it where it drags on the floor. It's not that it's heavy I just want it to last as long as possible.

That should be fine. Just make sure the legs of the sofa are far enough apart for the width of the table.

Yes, this item requires assembly. Search YouTube for sofab sofa and you'll find a video on how easy these are to assemble. No tools required.

Yes. The bed sofa bed will be the whole laid flat plus the extension so it basically will be the setting area times 3.

You cannot put the mattress directly. We have to have something on top of this bed frame like box spring. Or you can buy bed slates like I did instead of box spring. In my case I was expecting to move out of state, so I chose this option. Bed slates can be disassembled and moving it is not as painful as box spring.

All you have to do is lift from the front of the seat. The couch pivots where the crease is and then both the front and back click down to create a bed. It is lightweight and very easy - not at all like the old sofa beds that were so heavy and cumbersome to open into beds. There is storage under the couch for blankets, sheets, etc. Very handy.

No, but the glides move across the floor super easy. My bed is against the wall also, but it's no problem to pull it out to change bedding or clean behind.

The sofa folds out into the bed by pulling forward on the back of the sofa and then letting it slide back. There are no levers to push or pull. When you want it to convert back to the seated sofa position, you simply pull the back up to its original position and it will lock in place. The mechanism works very well and having converted it back and forth many times, I'm very pleased with it both as both a bed and a sofa.

I believe you can. We have an upholstered headboard that we trapped between the bed and wall and it works great! The frame was super easy to assemble and set-up and I no longer stub my toes!

Yes it moves towards the sofa. You can't put too much weight on it though or else it'll fall

It probably can be used on a sofa bed, but would not nearly be as safe. It uses the box spring for stability. I would not advise it. Andrew Wright (occupational therapist)

We initially set it up with the bed pulled out. When we put it up into futon mode (or the couch kind of position) it was only a few inches from the wall and we leave it there so that we can use the bed when needed without moving the entire unit.

If you mean a sofa that pulls out into a bed, then I suppose you could use it, but only when the bed is opened and take it out before you fold up the bed. Also, the one I got is twin size, so if your sofa bed is wider, then you'd need a wider support as well.

No- it is a nice sofa, but the foot thing does not have storage. I actually don't use it since we have a coffee table.
