Miles and Oscar Sleeper Information
Oscar & Miles Sleepers
The Oscar and Miles styles are identical except for the arms. Each Oscar rolled arm is 1.5” wider than the slender straight arm (track arm) on a Miles piece, so a chair in the Oscar style is 3” wider than the same chair made with straight arms as a Miles.
We hadn't intended to make sleepers in these two styles. The non-sleeper versions of Oscar and Miles are our best-selling 33” deep styles, because they sit quite generously in a smaller overall footprint in your home. Smaller sized arms and a long forgotten system of hand built springs make these very comfortable, without taking up lots of floor space. A sleeper, however, requires 36” of overall depth for the mattress storing mechanism to fold up and tuck into the frame of the piece.
These two, Oscar and Miles, are what we consider to be high-leg sofa styles. As a result, you could see a little more of the mechanism under the seats when standing 10’ or so from the front or back, or from the sides. It is usually not a big issue, because most people shopping at our store don't have space enough to stand that far back, but if you were to place these sleepers in a spot where the mechanisms could easily be seen, placement of other items like coffee tables, end tables, plants, etc. would be helpful to draw the eyes away from the mechanisms.
The Oscar and Miles styles, as sleepers, become 36” deep, like our Christy and Douglas sleeper models. Due to what our factory partners have described as ‘design and build’ challenges, we only offer the high leg mechanisms for Oscar and Miles sleepers as Full or Queen size. Other styles also have loveseat sleepers and chair and half sleepers available, but Oscar and Miles do not come in those sizes with the same taller legs. As people request them, we may develop smaller versions of these Miles and Oscar sleepers.
(May 2018 Update: we have started to produce the Miles chair sleeper, but with a mechanism that requires us to build the base further down to the floor and use a leg that is about 3" tall instead of the 5-1/2" leg standard on these models.)
For the taller guests, Oscar and Miles use a mattress and mechanism that unfold to be 72” from head to foot. From the wall, the Oscar and Miles sleepers require 88.5” from the wall to the foot of the opened bed. In a mattress, 3" may not seem like much to some people, but it is important for taller people to have feet and ankles supported in sleep.
Our Douglas and Christy models come with 75” long mattresses, which project 91.5” into the room when fully opened.
Full and Queen sleepers may be ordered with the optional Air Dream Ultra 5” air mattress upgrade, which is made to fit into the folding mechanisms when the air mattress is deflated. Sitting on top of the 6” inner coil spring mattress in a quilted cover that keeps both in place, the combined effect of (adjustable!) air over inner coil springs is far superior to air mattresses alone, and more supportive and accommodating than inner coil springs alone, because you can adjust the air mattress for firmer or softer sleeping comfort.
All models can be fitted with an optional memory foam mattress, which is firmer than the 6" inner coil spring standard mattress. Remarkably comfortable, in conjunction with our better quality mechanisms, we only hear positive things about our sleepers from customers who've been buying them since 2005.
