This type of sofa consists of a metal frame with three sections. Inside are wooden boards on which the mechanism is fixed.
The sofa is laid out as follows: the seats are pushed forward, and the back rests on the freed platform. The design is very easy to operate, so any person can decompose and fold it. The main thing is to follow clearly the instructions and not damage the parts.
On the front of the structure are mounted wheel bearings that extend the front. The headboard is made motionless, since the back rests folded on it.
A soft, elastic mattress in three sections is mounted on top of the metal structure. The backs are also made of soft upholstery. When the sofa spreads, they form one whole berth.

A step-by-step guide on how to disassemble a sofa for transportation
If you decide to disassemble the sofa yourself, follow the instructions below:
- We extend the furniture to the middle of the room and remove the soft cover. We take the key and unscrew the screws from the rear panel. We set aside the sidewalls from the main body. They will need to be packaged separately.
- We take out the headboard from the grooves, and take out the triple section.
- We unscrew the fasteners and remove the case from the structure. Newer models are equipped with clamps, not fasteners. They only need to be carefully removed and that's it. The box can be removed.
After disassembling, you should get three parts: two sidewalls, a box for linen, a metal case with a mattress.
Each item must be packed separately in a film or bag. We fix the moving parts tightly with tape so that they are not damaged during transportation. All twisted screws, fasteners, clamps should be folded into a separate box so as not to lose.
If necessary, you can detach the mattress from the frame. However, in most cases, this is an unnecessary waste of time, since the product can be freely transferred even in such a disassembly.
Furniture should be transported in packaging so that parts are not damaged. All parts must be carefully transferred so as not to damage the appearance. The assembly of the sofa is also done sequentially. It is important not to lose the small details, since in their absence the furniture may not come back together.
