4. Operating Instructions

The Nirvana Futons Cottage Style Futon Frame offers three convertible positions: Sofa, Lounger, and Bed. Always ensure the area around the futon is clear before converting positions.

Converting Positions:

1. From Sofa to Bed:
   • Stand in front of the futon.
   • Lift the front edge of the seat deck slightly.
   • Push the seat deck forward until the backrest begins to recline.
   • Continue pushing until the backrest is fully flat, forming a bed.
2. From Bed to Sofa:
   • Stand at the side or front of the futon.
   • Lift the backrest section of the futon until it clicks into the upright sofa position.
   • Ensure the seat and back are securely locked in place before sitting.
3. Lounger Position: The lounger position is typically achieved by partially reclining the backrest, often with an intermediate click-stop during the conversion process from sofa to bed. Experiment gently to find the desired reclined angle.
