Operating Instructions
The Novogratz Tallulah Futon features a versatile split-back design, allowing it to transform into multiple positions for sitting, lounging, and sleeping. The backrest can be independently reclined on each side.
Converting Positions:
- Sitting Position: The backrests are upright, providing a comfortable sofa for seating.
- Lounging Position: Each side of the backrest can be independently reclined to a partially lowered position, ideal for relaxed lounging.
- Sleeping Position: Both backrests can be fully lowered to create a flat sleeping surface. To convert, gently push the backrest forward until you hear a click, then slowly lower it backward until it lies flat. To return to an upright position, lift the backrest until it clicks into place.
