Ethos has swooping welted arms and pointed welted cushions, a detailing that reads as more formal than the frame's modest 36.25-inch width would suggest. It's a single-seat chair that converts to a 30-inch cot, and it fits spaces a loveseat won't: a reading corner, a home office, a narrow guest nook at the end of a hall.
The mechanism is Nest: lift the seat forward, walk it out, lay the back flat in two steps. Manual, no power, no half-open position on this unit. Set the back cushions aside before converting. The same Nest mechanism that appears in Luonto's larger frames is here in a chair-scale body, which means the conversion motion requires that 84.75 inches of depth-from-wall clearance; the chair is small, but the open bed is still 80 inches long.
The bed is a 30-by-80-inch cot, enough for one adult, not two. The mattress is 5 inches of CertiPUR cold-cured high-density foam, built in, rated for daily use. Seat height is 17.25 inches and seat depth is 20 inches, noticeably shallower than the loveseat and sofa sizes in the Ethos line, which reflects the chair-scale proportions.
Frame is solid spruce with mortise-and-tenon joinery and birch plywood, FSC and PEFC certified, EU-made, four to six week lead time. More than 100 fabric and leather options at point of sale.
Ethos Cot works for a single-occupant guest room or a room that doubles as an office and needs a cot without a loveseat's width. The welted arm and cushion detail is distinctive; if that formality fits the room, this chair has it. For a more traditional rolled arm on the same 30-by-80 cot, look at the Casey Cot Chair, which uses the Hybrid mechanism instead of Nest. Choose Ethos if the swooping welted silhouette is the draw; choose Casey if you prefer rolled arms or want the Hybrid's different motion.
