Abstract: A sofa bed recliner with a back frame that has no rearward movement when converting from a sitting position to a horizontal position, is provided with simple support legs, which facilitate the ease of converting and reverting the sofa bed recliner and providing proper support against overbalancing. The legs drop from beneath the seat frame when it is pulled forward and retract over the base, beneath the seat frame, when reverting. The legs have a stop so that they cannot get entangled with the base when the seat frame us lifted. A tension spring biases the back frame to facilitate movement.

Abstract: A sofa bed recliner which provides a sturdy, simpler inexpensive structure for reverting a seat frame and back frame from a horizontal position to a reclining position by the engagement of a freely pivotable detent, which interlocks the frames, allowing the frames to be simultaneously moved from a horizontal to a reclining position. The detent is automatically released as the back frame resumes reclining position.
