Profile

The convertible sofa has a bad reputation: uncomfortable mattresses, weak frames, and style akin to a loveseat at the Holiday Inn. So Carlyle Custom Convertibles’ method is simple: Provide high-quality materials and let the customers design a better one themselves. Arm yourself with a tape measure and a catalog, and get to work tweaking models for anything from size, material, or arm and back style. (You can also bring in your own fabric and Carlyle will wrap it around one of their solid wood frames.) Sofa-beds come in sizes as large as super-queen, but the same process can be used to customize an ottoman bed, a chair bed, or a sectional that can unfold into countless single (and reversible) mattresses. The end result will be a creation so tailored to your specifications that you might end up using it not for your guests, but as your permanent place of rest. — Stephen Bracco

Uncomfortable mattresses and weak frames is right! I have the camel back sofa that they still make. The problem...the sofa bed is too low and it caused the upholstery on the front (that would be behind your knees) to wear down to the padding then the wood that is inside and it gets wider all the time, along the length of the front. THEIR SOLUTION? The sofa bed mechanism needs to be raised! And it costs a lot and they admit it is a design flaw! For what I paid they should come and do it for free. Not only that I have to have the whole thing recovered because the fabric won't match over this much time. It is not the quality classic sofa my mother bought in the 70's and still owns. They make a big talk of "quality" in the showroom. If you want to spend a lot of money on a piece you will enjoy over time I suggest you go elsewhere.
