If the phrases “sleeper couch” nonetheless conjure photos of a musty, squeaky, lumpy pull-out mattress with the thickness and assist of a peanut butter sandwich, it’s your decision to try what’s been occurring on this planet of convertible furnishings these days.
Fashionable-day sleeper sofas now include luxe, actual mattresses, just like the Tempur-Pedic in Joybird’s Eliot, or supply a number of sitting and sleeping configurations, just like the Koala Wanda. The Neptune, from Montreal-based, direct-to-consumer residence items model Cozey, goals for one thing fully completely different: a sofa with modular parts that may be moved or added to, together with seats that pull out to make both a twin- or full-sized mattress, relying on sofa dimension. Add on storage beneath every seat and machine-washable cloth, and you have got a very versatile setup that is superb for visitor rooms and dwelling rooms alike. That’s, so long as you want issues agency.
Construct-a-Mattress
Cozey provides quite a lot of Neptune packages, from chairs and loveseats to five-seat sectionals and all the things in between. Mattress dimension choices embody twin or full, with non-obligatory storage ottomans, arms, and headrests. For testing, I chosen a four-seat sectional with a full-sized mattress, in Efficiency Slate upholstery. It seems to be nearly like a charcoal colour on-line, however turned out to be a lighter medium grey with a sturdy woven texture. There are 4 different Efficiency colours obtainable (inexperienced, two beiges, and grey) and 4 primary neutrals in Aquaforte, Cozey’s proprietary water- and stain-repellent cloth—a reasonably small choice in contrast with different manufacturers, however that is the value one pays for having stock obtainable for quick delivery.
The final sofa I examined, from Inside Outline, took nearly 4 months to reach, however a few months is fairly typical for made-to-order furnishings. Mercifully, the Neptune—which I’ve now been testing for nearly six weeks—arrived in 4 days through free FedEx delivery, in 13 unwieldy containers. A mean-sized, 5’6″ lady, I had no drawback carrying every field round the home, however struggled to take a number of the heavier ones upstairs on my own.
