convertible (sofa) bed


Explanation:
Convertible bed or convertible sofa bed might be right, but more context is needed to be sure.

Matilde
Two bedrooms, one with double bed and single sofa bed, the other with three single beds. Wide living-room with 2 sofas (each seating two), equipped kitchen corner and fire-place. Two bathrooms, one with tub and one with shower. Old brick-tiled floors. Marvellous vista on the villa’s park and on the ancient borgo. Outdoor area with table and chairs.

Matilde
Due camere da letto: una con letto matrimoniale e mobile letto singolo e l'altra con tre letti singoli.
Il soggiorno è molto spazioso con due divani a due posti, angolo cottura completamente attrezzato e caminetto. Due bagni completi: uno con vasca e l'altro con doccia. Pavimenti in vecchio cotto. Gode di una magnifica vista sul parco della villa e sul vecchio borgo.

CONVERTIBLE SOFA BEDS, or convertible sofa sleepers for the RV and marine industry, are similar to home style convertible sofa sleepers, in that the seat cushions are removed, the frame pulls out into the room when and makes into a full 72" mattress (2 widths are available).
