Vintage Hypnos sofa bed

All the details

Much-loved old Hypnos Grasmere GRS62 Double Sofa bed purchased in 1988, would suit retro refurbishment project. The sofa is exceptionally comfortable, and the seating has not sagged. According to the original literature, which I still have, the sofa has a "hardwood frame, glued and screwed", and the bed a metal one. It is mounted on castors. The metal frame has a 3-fold action, with the 'head' end of the mattress and frame inserting into the back of the sofa. It's a small double size - suits mattress approx 180cm x 132cm x10cm. The mattress is included to provide structure to the seating, but will need to be replaced.
