Abstract
A furniture frame convertible from a seat to a bed is disclosed. The furniture frame includes side frame members spaced-apart by a supporting rail and a body-supporting member including two sections pivotally connected together and connected to the side frame members substantially toward the rear of the furniture frame. In the disclosed furniture frame the two sections are movable relative to each other between at least a first and second sitting orientations and a bed orientation wherein the second sitting orientation is less upright than the second sitting orientation. The two sections provide a seat section and a back section having transversely spaced apart side section members and upper surfaces inclined relative to each other when the two sections are in one of the first and second sitting orientations.
