Sectional Sofa Bed Saint-Lazare

Seating, sleeping and storage in one sectional

The Friheten and Manstad models offer everyday seating comfort. When needed, the pull-out section opens to create a sleeping space, while the compartment under the chaise allows you to store blankets, pillows, sheets or other essentials within easy reach. Combining seating, guest sleeping and hidden storage in a single piece of furniture can make a living room more functional without adding a spare bed or extra storage units. The room stays ready for daily use and can adapt quickly when a guest stays overnight. Grand Jeles professionally refurbishes both models and prepares them with the foam, fabric and color selected by the customer. Once these common functions are understood, the shape and configuration of each model’s chaise can guide the final choice.

Friheten and Manstad: two different visual weights

Their main functions are similar, but their shapes create different effects in a room. The professionally refurbished IKEA Friheten sofa bed has a more open, modern profile. Its chaise side has a full-height armrest that extends forward, while the opposite side has a lower armrest at seat height. The professionally refurbished IKEA Manstad sofa bed has a fuller corner sectional shape, with full-height armrests on both sides. Its classic look can create a stronger visual anchor. Friheten offers more flexibility in chaise direction, while Manstad may suit customers who prefer a more substantial corner sofa. The choice depends on the location, surrounding furniture and the desired effect in the room.

Planning for sofa and bed modes

A sofa bed uses the room in two ways: as everyday seating and as sleeping accommodation once deployed. Planning for both modes preserves space for the pull-out section, a coffee table and comfortable traffic flow in the room. Approximate dimensions for both models are provided below. They serve as a practical reference for comparing the sofa footprint and the space needed once the bed is open.

Model	Sofa mode	Bed mode
Friheten	230 × 151 × 66 cm	204 × 140 cm
Manstad	240 × 155 × 73 cm	204 × 140 cm

Choosing comfort based on how you use the room

A sectional in the main living area may be used for long evenings, family conversations, TV, reading or occasional guests. The foam chosen should reflect that routine, not just the appearance.

• Soft: Creates a softer, more enveloping feel.
• Medium: Balances comfort and support for regular seating and occasional sleeping.
• Firm: Offers a more structured surface for customers who prefer firmer support.

Comfort remains a personal matter. Customers can compare the three options and choose based on how often the sofa is used, whether the bed is deployed regularly and the level of support they prefer.

Giving the room the right color and texture

In a larger living room, the sectional becomes a major visible surface. A light neutral tone can preserve a calm atmosphere, while a darker neutral, green, blue or warm earth tone can define the seating area. The best choice depends on wall color, flooring, curtains, lighting and adjacent furniture. Fabric choice is not just about color. A smooth fabric gives a cleaner look, a textured fabric adds warmth and depth, and velvet gives the sofa a softer, more refined finish. Daily use should also guide the selection. Grand Jeles offers standard and premium fabric options. Available colors can be considered based on walls, flooring, curtains, lighting and existing furniture. Check current availability with Grand Jeles before finalizing your order.

What a professional refurbishment brings

Visual balance is important, but the sofa also needs to function well. Since Grand Jeles works on Friheten and Manstad units after actual use, the team can identify where comfort, movement, fittings, padding and support may need attention. Depending on the sofa and the service confirmed, preparation may include inspection of foam, padding, pull-out mechanism, storage, fittings, frame stability, springs and high-use areas. Reupholstery can modernize the color and texture. If the sofa frame needs attention, the team can use the appropriate screws, brackets, fasteners or connection parts for that model. These parts are selected according to the structure and area to be reinforced. This model-specific process reflects over 7 years of experience in refurbishment, repair, reupholstery, delivery and installation. Current owners can inquire about foam or fabric replacement, repairs or rebuilding.

From separate sections to final installation

Friheten and Manstad units are handled in separate sections, which generally makes it easier to navigate through entrances, hallways, staircases and basement access points. The sofa is then assembled in the intended room according to the confirmed model and chaise direction. Professional in-home installation helps align sections correctly and ensures the pull-out mechanism functions properly after delivery. Professional delivery and in-home installation are coordinated according to the order and address. Available orders are typically prepared within approximately 3 to 5 days after confirmation. Customers needing faster turnaround should contact Grand Jeles before ordering.
