Tessmar Leynar Upholstered Convertible Chair

A 31.9 inch wide armless accent chair on solid pine legs, with a 20.5 inch deep seat and a 330 pound rating.

The overall size is 31.9 inches high, 31.9 inches wide, and 35.4 inches deep. Tape that rectangle before you place it; there are no arms adding to the width, so the seat itself runs the full 31.9 inches across.

• Chair, lounger, or flat sleeper

  The backrest hinges flat on steel fittings, so this one seat works three ways: upright as a chair, partway down as a chaise lounge, and fully flat as a sleeping surface for a guest.

• A boxy, armless silhouette

  Without arms, the chair reads as a clean rectangle rather than a traditional armchair, useful for tucking into a corner or against a wall where a wider chair would not fit. At 31.9 inches wide and 35.4 inches deep, the proportions favor depth over width, since the extra length in the seat is what becomes the lounging or sleeping surface once the back folds down.

• Two-step hardware assembly

  Assembly is two steps, both with the included hardware: the backrest attaches to the body first with the included screws, then the four solid pine legs screw on underneath. No tools beyond a screwdriver are needed, and all the hardware and instructions ship in the same box as the chair, nothing extra to track down.

• Vacuum often, spot clean spills

  Brush or vacuum the polyester regularly to keep dust from settling into the weave, especially if it is doing double duty as an occasional bed. Spot clean spills with a damp cloth and mild detergent, working from the outside of the mark inward so it does not spread. Let it air dry before folding the back down again, since trapped moisture is worse in a hinge than open air.

• Medium firm, seat or sleeper

  The seat is 20.5 inches deep and sits 18.5 inches off the floor, wide enough at 31.9 inches to seat two people upright or one person lying down once folded flat. Fill is foam and synthetic fiber over sinuous and pocket springs, built to a medium firmness rather than a soft sink, since the same cushion works as both a seat and a sleeping surface. Rated to 330 pounds.

• Ships flatter than it looks

  This one ships more knocked down than most: the backrest is a separate piece from the seat body until you attach it at home, so the carton is flatter and narrower than the assembled 31.9 by 35.4 inch footprint suggests. Even so, measure your doorway and any stairwell turn for the seat body itself; the whole chair weighs 66 pounds.

• Wood frame, dual spring seat

  The frame is solid wood, pine specifically at the legs, built to take the added stress of folding flat and back repeatedly, not just sitting weight. Fill is foam layered with synthetic fiber over sinuous springs and individually pocketed springs, the same spring combination used in fixed sofas, so the seat holds its shape through the fold-down motion instead of only under a static sitting load.

• Woven polyester, no pattern

  The upholstery is polyester in a plain woven face layered over a muslin backing, in a solid navy blue with no pattern or piping breaks to catch on bedding if it is used as a sleeper. It is a synthetic weave rather than a natural fiber and chosen for durability over the softness of linen or the sheen of velvet.

• One chair, one pillow

  What ships is one convertible chair: the seat body, the backrest that attaches to it, four pine legs, and one matching lumbar pillow, all with the screws and instructions included in the box. There is no mattress, no sheets, and no second chair; this is a single seat that folds flat, not a set. Everything needed to assemble it arrives together in one shipment.
