Our Hover designs offer a contemporary and fresh aesthetic that also provides real-world solutions to the healthcare provider in areas of infection control, housekeeping, safety, maintenance and comfort. Please review the features below for further information regarding Durfold’s revolutionary and minimalist approach to sleeper sofas.
Features for Facility
Room turnover times can be reduced by housekeeping, now, due to the open framing of the Hover sofa and the easy access for staff to clean the floor underneath without the need to move the sofa out of the way. As a result, there won’t be any embarrassing surprises due to floors not be maintained under the furniture.
A clean-out opening is provided between the back and seat panels to ensure quick and easy cleaning of the sofa and to avoid debris being trapped in the furniture.
Along with the easy floor access for cleaning, room turnover times are further shortened by the reduction in vertical surfaces needing to be cleaned and disinfected. From the seat to the floor, a savings on time to clean fabric is achieved.
Our Hover sleeper sofas avoid the use of complicated sleeper mechanisms and activators that can be broken or damaged over time, which allows for dependable, trouble-free usage and a more intuitive operation from seating to sleeping configuration.
Patient room furniture is exposed to numerous types of rolling equipment and accessories that can scratch and gouge soft fabrics and finished wood components in the immediate area above the floor. The Hover sofa removes this susceptibility by utilizing only highly-durable, powder-coated steel surfaces that can better handle inadvertent contact from sharp edges found along the bases of rolling equipment.

Features for Guests
With our Hover sleeper sofa, the quick rotation of a bolster provides for a comfortable chaise configuration when guests would like a more relaxed position.
Studies have confirmed that exiting furniture is a leading contributor to falls and injury. To enable users a better positioning to exit furniture and to avoid injury, it is recommended that their feet be allowed to position underneath their torso (instead of in front), which places the legs in a stronger and more stable position to the body. The Hover sofa, with its open front and lack of the conventional faceplate panel, accommodates for this safety concern.
Many times, furniture manufacturers will upholster their products so that a thin, 2” seat mat will look more substantial by concealing it behind false-front padding (waterfall fronts). When you see what appears to be a nice, thick seat and/or mattress cushion on the Hover, you can rest assured that that is exactly what you are getting. On our Hover sofas, the seat cushion is an ample 5” thick foam cushion for maximum comfort.
