Nico is compact on purpose. The low track arms and 32.75-inch overall height keep it from visually dominating a small room, and at 64.5 inches wide it fits where a three-seat sofa won't. The seat has a built-in under-knee support rail, an unusual detail that makes a real difference when you're sitting for hours. The frame is a "space saver" by design, and the reason becomes clear when you see where the bed lives.
The Nest mechanism stores the mattress directly beneath the seat cushion. To convert: set the loose back cushions aside, lift the front of the seat, walk it out, and lay it flat. Two steps, two motions, no removing the seat cushion itself. The bed extends out from the wall; plan for 84.75 inches of clearance. There's also a half-open option, a sit-and-sleep position useful if someone wants to recline while another person reads.
The bed is full XL at 55 by 80 inches, which fits one adult comfortably for extended stays. Mattress is a five-inch cold-cured high-density foam pad, CertiPUR certified, rated Daily Sleeper. That's a real rating; this mechanism is built for repeated nightly use, not occasional guest rescue.
Frame is solid spruce with mortise-and-tenon joinery and birch plywood, FSC and PEFC certified. Made in Europe to order, four to six weeks. More than 100 upholstery options across fabric and leather.
Nico Full XL is the right frame if a full XL sleeping surface is enough and floor space is the constraint. If your guest needs a queen bed (60 inches wide instead of 55), step up to the Nico Queen Loveseat: same frame, same Nest mechanism, same silhouette, five extra inches of sleeping width. If you need the full XL size but prefer a one-step Level conversion without the nested storage, the Polar Full XL is worth comparing.
