We have a 3023 with the jack-knife sofa and regular sofa. Like many others, I've been mulling over ideas to make the shorter sofa wider, and possibly make the whole area a large bed. I've finally done it. Eddie Bauer has the folding stools that fold in half along the seat (vs newer collapsible tripod stools). I bought 3 of them today, and when placed along the front of the short sofa, are the perfect height to lay the back sofa pad. I placed them so the medal is perpendicular to the sofa seat so they won't inadvertently fold up. They are 16" high, and probably 14" wide. (2 might work, but they are on sale for
only $10.00 with another purchase, so I went with 3). This allows the jack-knife to be opened, and all the cushions line up. Not sure about comfort, but it's a big bed in a pinch. I had planned on stapling some strapping to the back of the smaller cushion that I would then put under the bench pad for securing, but am not sure it will be necessary. The best part is that we can use the stools when not using as bed supports!!
I do love easy fixes!
Eddie Bauer- in the stores. Called a cooler stool Dept. 022, style 1606. Lists $19.50, but $9.95 right now.
