The Rise of Multifunctional Furniture
As urban living spaces get smaller and multi-purpose rooms more common, furniture needs to do more. Recliners, sofa beds, and adjustable seating are no longer niche products — they’re a key part of modern home design.
At Peter Cook, we’ve seen huge growth in demand for mechanisms that transform sofas into beds, or chairs into recliners, without compromising comfort or durability.
Why Mechanisms Matter in 2025
Consumers want comfort, convenience, and functionality. A sofa that converts seamlessly into a guest bed, or a recliner that delivers perfect ergonomics, is more than a piece of furniture — it’s a lifestyle solution.
For manufacturers, this means sourcing mechanisms that are tested, reliable, and smooth in operation.
