Are reclining sofas just as durable as a traditional sleeper sofa?
A reclining sofa is a totally different animal than a
traditional sleeper sofa. When purchasing a sleeper sofa, it is
best to look at the models that are manufactured by a mattress
company (Simmons, e.g.) as opposed to a furniture maker. A mattress
company will design a sleeper sofa for maximum comfort as a bed,
rather than an afterthought. When considering a reclining sofa, the
mechanism is everything, so always look for models built by LazyBoy
or Lane, or company with a similar reputation for expertise in
recliners.
