This multipurpose soft sofa, by virtue of innovation in structural design and material selection, addresses the limitations of its traditional counterparts in terms of functionality, user experience and environmental protection, offering users a safer, more practical and more environmentally friendly furniture option. With high flexibility, it can effortlessly adapt to small living spaces increasingly common in the post-pandemic era.

The sofa features a patented, frame-free structure, and is entirely filled with memory foam, significantly reducing its weight and fundamentally preventing injuries associated with the sharp edges of traditional metal frames. Such a product is especially suitable for families with children or older people, ensuring higher safety and better comfort. Also prioritizing flexibility of use, it adopts a modular design to support free combination as needed, which can adapt to various scenarios like work from home or guest coming (serving as a temporary bed), greatly improving space utilization. Moreover, the sofa adheres to ergonomic principles. Its backrest, with an inclination of 110°, offers optimal support to the lower back, effectively alleviating fatigue from prolonged sitting. The incorporation of a 15° golden angle forms a natural triangular structure for enhanced stability. When converted into a mattress, the product, with a headrest (a height of 9cm) precisely supporting the head and neck, allows users to maintain a comfortable sleeping posture for better rest.

In addition, the water-resistant sofa repels liquid on contact, and can be wiped clean in just 10s without leaving marks, effectively addressing uneasy-to-clean splashes in daily life. Meanwhile, it utilizes antibacterial technology and odor-resistant design to inhibit 99% of common bacteria while removing the odors of sweat and pets’ urine, providing a healthy and hygienic environment for users.
