ZERO MECHANISMS

How is a zero-wall sofa mechanism selected?

When selecting a zero-wall mechanism, evaluate not only the opening motion but also the two-seat, three-seat or corner configuration, fixed or removable cushions, leg height and target bed size. Test the frame prototype through full opening and closing cycles with the actual upholstery.

How is a zero-wall sofa mechanism selected?

Frame and cushion compatibility

Fixed and removable seat or back cushions affect opening geometry differently. Cushion thickness, fabric allowance and frame tolerance must stay outside the mechanism's motion area.

Two-seat, three-seat and lounge modules may belong to the same family, but their technical dimensions and intended bed function require separate verification.

Check before serial production

Place the prototype sofa against the wall and test standard seating, opening and bed positions in sequence. Record upholstery pinching, floor contact, wall rubbing and left-right component alignment.
