Sofa bed

Claim 2

A sofa bed comprising a pair of substantially equally dimensioned blocks of soft resilient foam each of a rectangular size corresponding to a single bed and each having a thickness of at least about eight inches and normally positioned in overlying relation for forming a sofa of normal seating height with the underlying block resting on a floor, and a covering separately covering each block of foam and hingedly connecting the blocks of foam together along corresponding side edges so that the blocks of foam may be positioned in side by side relation for forming a double bed with both blocks of foam resting on the floor.

Claim 3

A sofa bed according to claim 1 wherein each of the blocks of foam is integral and of substantially uniform density throughout.

Claim 4

A sofa bed according to claim 1 wherein pillows rest upon the uppermost block of foam and form a backrest.

Claim 5

A sofa bed according to claim 1 wherein said covering hingedly connects the pair of blocks together so that the terminal ends of the hinged connection are spaced inwardly from the ends of the pair of blocks of foam for facilitating movement of the blocks of foam from an overlying relation to a side by side relation without rupturing the covering hingedly connecting the same together.

Claim 6

A sofa bed according to claim 1, wherein the central upper portion of the uppermost block of foam, which serves as the seat for the sofa, has a relatively shallow recess therein, and soft fibrous material filling said recess for enhanced seating comfort.

Claim 7

A sofa bed according to claim 5 wherein, a plurality of spaced fasteners extend through said fibrous material to compress the same at localized areas for added stability thereof and to present a quilted effect thereto.

Claim 8

A sofa bed comprising a pair of substantially equally dimensioned blocks of soft resilient foam each of a rectangular size corresponding to a single bed and normally positioned in overlying relation for forming a sofa with the undErlying block resting on a floor, each of said blocks of foam being integral and of substantial uniform foam density throughout and also having a thickness of at least about eight inches, and a covering separately covering each block of foam and hingedly connecting the blocks of foam together along corresponding side edges so that the blocks of foam may be positioned in side by side relation for forming a double bed with both blocks of foam resting on the floor, said covering hingedly connecting said blocks of foam together so that the terminal ends of the hinged connection are spaced inwardly from the ends of the blocks of foam.

Claim 9

A sofa bed comprising a pair of substantially equally dimensioned blocks of soft resilient foam each of a rectangular size corresponding to a single bed and normally positioned in overlying relation for forming a sofa with the undErlying block resting on a floor, each of said blocks of foam being integral and of substantial uniform foam density throughout and also having a thickness of at least about eight inches, and a covering separately covering each block of foam and hingedly connecting the blocks of foam together along corresponding side edges so that the blocks of foam may be positioned in side by side relation for forming a double bed with both blocks of foam resting on the floor, said covering hingedly connecting said blocks of foam together so that the terminal ends of the hinged connection are spaced inwardly from the ends of the blocks of foam.

Claim 10

A sofa bed according to claim 7 wherein the central upper portion of the uppermost block of foam, which serves as the seat for the sofa; has a relatively shallow recess therein, and soft fibrous material filling said recess for enhanced seating comfort.
