Stance in Focus

The phrase “hospital sofa bed” may conjure feelings of restlessness in many, and for good reason. It’s long been commonly accepted that sleep sofas in healthcare environments are uncomfortable by their very definition. After all, who expects to get rest when sleeping in a highly-monitored environment, as a visitor might, or perhaps for care providers between shifts? At Stance, the status quo has never been our starting line.

We’re fixated on changing expectations by creating something better. In our 20 years of business, we’ve focused relentlessly on what end-users actually need from their healthcare furniture – not on simply delivering en masse what they already anticipate. That commitment has contributed to our reputation for providing unmatched comfort, which is an impact area often under-prioritized in clinical environments. Enter: our meticulously engineered, curated collection of sofas for healthcare.

In light of this month’s Sleep Week, we’re spotlighting Podium, Rochester, Carson and Strada – four Stance sleep sofas supporting rest for the weary in healthcare environments. Curl up, and get cozy:

The Podium Sleep Sofa effortlessly combines contemporary design with comfort, making it an excellent choice for patient rooms. The mechanism-free product makes transitioning to and from sleep mode a breeze, with a back cushion which easily folds to become a sleep surface. With integrated table options and various sleep widths, Podium is adaptable for use while resting and active. The sofas are available in three size options (84”, 90” and 96”), 17 models in total, and offer a variety of customizations for convenience, including built-in USB charging ports.

With its generous sleep surface size (77” x 27”!) and plush mattress, our high-design Rochester Sleep Sofa provides an unexpectedly cozy-meets-sturdy sleeping area for patients, visitors, and care providers. Winner of the 2023 Nightingale Sustainability Award, this mechanism-free product easily converts to and from sleep mode. Elevated by its solid surface surround arm caps, Stance’s signature, dual emphasis on function and form shines on this product, with eye-catching aesthetic options including contrasting fabrics and custom finishes. The sleep sofa extends the popular Rochester lounge furniture series, making application a breeze when furnishing any patient room.

Our Carson Sleeper is user-friendly, easy to clean, and highly accommodative to the space constraints of today’s patient rooms. An extension of the popular Carson series including lounge chair and recliner, Carson features an accommodative 76” x 35” sleep surface, making it adaptable in virtually any healthcare space where rest is an option. Its multiple aesthetic and functional options include field-replaceable arm caps and feet, contrasting fabrics, choice of casters or wood legs, custom finishes, and choice of wood, polyurethane, or solid surface arm caps. Its heavy-duty mechanism is concealed, while Carson’s surface is easy-to-clean with a moisture barrier.

For smaller spaces or environments that adopt a more modern aesthetic, our contemporary Strada Sleep Sofa is ideal. While offering a minimalist footprint, Strada upholds Stance’s “over-engineered for comfort” design commitment, offering a rest area that is not only highly comfortable, but easy. The mechanism-free sofa seamlessly converts to the sleep position atop a continuous cushion.

From ease of use, to generous sleep surfaces, to soothing textures and tones, Stance’s sleep sofas are individually built to support quality rest where it’s often least expected. Explore more about them here.
