Sofa-bed mechanisms adapted for everyday sleeping may vary depending on the specific furniture model, but several popular types dominate the market, allowing you to easily transform a sofa into a comfortable bed. Here are their main variants:
| Mechanism name | Description | Product | additional information | |
| Eurobook | This mechanism is simple and reliable, making it a great choice for everyday use. To convert the sofa into a bed, simply push the seat towards you all the way and lower the backrest, creating a flat surface. This mechanism also comes with a storage compartment. | Warsaw, Lisbon, Milan, Dortmund | The exceptions are the Belfast and Dallas models - when filling out the PPU, their classification as "everyday sleep" is left to the buyer's discretion. | |
| Alec | Forward-facing mechanism: 1) Pull the handle located between the seat and backrest, slightly rotate the seat at a 45-degree angle; 2) With one hand, grab the handle and the other hand, the edge of the seat, pulling the structure towards you; 3) Lower the backrest down. | Verona II, Lisbon II, Liverpool II, Milan II | ||
| Stepper mechanism | A modern analogue of the Eurobook. You need to slightly raise the seat of the sofa, pull it towards you and lower the backrest down. This mechanism also includes a storage compartment. | Liverpool, Preston,

| Swivel mechanism | One of the best options for everyday use. The corner sofa easily transforms into a full double bed. The movable part simply changes position from perpendicular to parallel. Such models have drawers and boxes for linen. | Marcos, Oakland | ||
| Click-Clack | You need to raise the seat 90 degrees (the backrest will automatically lower) and tilt it away from you until you hear the corresponding "click-clack" sound. Then tilt the moving part towards you and lower it.

| Pull-out mechanism | Pull the lower part of the seat towards you and open it like a book. A solid, smooth surface is formed, but it is usually lower and harder than other transformation mechanisms. The main advantage is that the bed unfolds forward, so you don't have to move the sofa away from the wall. | Delhi, Santi | ||
| Adding pouf | Press the pouf firmly against the corner sofa. | Verona Corner I | ||

To unfold the Dolphin, you need to pull the hidden handle under the seat forward until a special part hidden under the seat protrudes. | Verona Corner II, Verona, Nelson, |
