Abstract

Upholstered furniture for transferring a person between a sitting position and a lying position, in which a seating member can be extracted forward out of a stationary base. The seating member has a chassis that is supported so that it can roll. A seating frame is positioned on top and forms a covering. A backrest has two members connected so that they can be swung relative to each other. The rear backrest member is pivoted on the bottom framework, and the front backrest member is connected to the seating frame by catch linkages.
