HS Manufacturing, a division of Hickory Springs Manufacturing Co., is targeting the upper-end upholstery market with a new domestically produced trundle-style sofa-sleeper mechanism. The Underdown is designed to maximize smaller spaces by accommodating a queen-size sleep surface in a smaller footprint than the space required for a traditional sleeper sofa. The unit pivots the longer end of the sleep surface parallel with the back of the sofa.
Complete with two 30-inch size sleep surfaces, The Underdown can function as two individual sleep surfaces or be joined together by a pop-up trundle that slides out from underneath to create a queen sleep surface.
The unit includes 8.5-gauge sinuous wire in both the sofa seat and the trundle unit, ensuring consistency across the sleep surface when the trundle is popped up for use as a queen. Seat cushion options include high resilient foam construction and a variety of premium memory foam options.
In addition to the space-saving and comfort attributes, The Underdown offers a variety of sleeping arrangements for a single user, a couple or two children. A single user can use as a twin sleep surface by sleeping on the sofa seating surface or use as a queen sleep surface by utilizing the pop-up trundle. A couple would utilize the pop-up trundle to create a queen sleep surface, while two children could utilize the two separate twin surfaces with the standard trundle bed functionality.
