Abstract: The bed or mattress frame for a convertible sofa is formed of at least two flat spring sections hinged along adjacent longitudinal edges and foldable into a storage position with the spring sections arranged in flat, overlying relationship with each other behind the front board of the sofa. As the sections are unfolded, a linking bar at each end of the frame activates a pivotally attached lever to lift the spring sections to a level above the front board.
