Title: Replacement of Jack bed with pull out
Post by: Dan Stansel on January 06, 2016, 05:49:52 pm
Looked in archives but not what I need.  Need source for pull out sofa bed that will fit.  Looked at flexsteel and villa.  Surely there is another source.  Ideas please.

Dan,
 
I have heard the phrase, but what is a Jack bed?
 
Thanks,
 
Trent

It is also called a Jackknife sofa. The seat partially pulls up and then out, the bed opens up and the whole thing folds flat in to a sort of full-sized bed.

Here is what we went with on a previous coach: http://www.flexsteel.com/assets/2012/9/13/flexsteel_flex0bed_brochure_07-12.pdf

Carol,
 
Thanks; that is what I have. The PO had the arm cut down behind the driver seat, but I still cannot rotate the driver's seat.
 
However, laying it down looks like what I have to do to remove the bottom screws on the side valences for the non-window above the sofa. (PO had a TV installed there, but DW wants her window back!)

My current Jack sofa is 83 inches long, 38 1/2 inches deep and only 29 tall in the back and fits just under the windowed ledge.  Arm is only 31 inches deep and cushion extends another 7 1/2 inches to get to the 38 1/2 inches deep.  Can not find anything close to these measurements.

Gave up on trying to purchase from Camping world.  Talking to rvfurniturecenter.com .  They are saying that the trifold bed is better than the pull out sofa bed.  Any users??
