Pull-out couches are also mainstays at hotels and condominiums, saving vacationers the expense of renting larger or multiple accommodations. Most sleeper sofas, when converted, are the size of a double bed.

  1. Remove all of the couch cushions and pillows; the bed frame is beneath the seat cushions.

  2. Look for a handle or grip on the bed frame.

  3. Pull the bed frame up until you can bring it toward you as the frame starts to unfold.

  4. Drag the frame gently down to the floor; it will be two-thirds unfolded and resting on one set of legs.

  5. Unfold the last third of the mattress, which will have its own set of legs to stand on.
