How to Install a Jack Knife Sofa
A jack knife sofa, also known as a futon sofa, is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used as both a sofa and a bed. It is a great option for small spaces or for people who want to save money on furniture. Installing a jack knife sofa is relatively easy and can be done in a few simple steps.
Materials
- Jack knife sofa
- Screwdriver
- Measuring tape
Instructions
1. Choose a location for the sofa. The sofa should be placed in a location where it will be used frequently and where there is enough space for it to be opened and closed. It is important to make sure that the floor is level and that there are no obstacles in the way of the sofa.
2. Open the sofa. To open the sofa, simply lift the seat up and pull it forward until it is fully extended. The back of the sofa will fold down to create the bed.
3. Measure the width of the sofa. Once the sofa is open, measure the width of the seat from one side to the other. This measurement will be used to determine the length of the legs that need to be installed.
4. Cut the legs to the correct length. The legs that come with the sofa will need to be cut to the correct length. To do this, measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the seat and subtract 2 inches. This will give you the length that the legs need to be cut to.
5. Attach the legs to the sofa. Once the legs are cut to the correct length, they can be attached to the sofa. The legs are usually attached with screws, so simply insert the screws into the holes in the legs and tighten them until they are secure.
6. Close the sofa. Once the legs are attached, the sofa can be closed. To do this, simply lift the back of the sofa up and fold it down over the seat. The sofa is now ready to be used as a bed.
Tips
- If you are having trouble opening or closing the sofa, make sure that the legs are securely attached and that there are no obstacles in the way.
- To make the sofa more comfortable, you can add a mattress topper or a few pillows.
- Jack knife sofas are relatively easy to care for. Simply vacuum the sofa regularly and spot clean any spills.
