Thank you for your comment but my couch is 62 inches overall and not long enough for an adult. That is why a sofa bed is required.

We replaced the jackknife Thomas Payne 80" with a Rec pro 80" with a sofa bed. It is very comfy.

I replaced the jack knife couch in my MH with a home made version of the DIY sofa bed by Ian and Mad Mumsie, If you google it you can see a pretty detailed description of the build.
I looked at several couches but could not find one to fit the space I had and gave me as many options.
All in I will have about $600.00 in it for the plywood, oak slats, cushions, and covers. My time was free. Its 80 inches long and will expand to 60 inches wide for a queen sized air mattress. With just the bottom two cushions left in place it is near a single bed, and if expanded enough for the back and bottom cushions it is near the size a double bed size. Sorry I can't add any pictures but I am not near the MH right now. If you google it, I think you will like the design and you can custom fit it to your space.

Yes I have an Ikea just 3 miles away.
Went through it yesterday but nothing there seemed to look like it will work.
I'm going to go back when I have more time to talk to somebody there.

On thing I have found is Wayfair has a foam fold out sofa bed. My son used one when going to school. I am going to see if I can get more info on this.
