Let’s Stance
The latest lie-flat design from Sonik has support where other six-leg beds do not
BREAKING THE MOULD
In the unlikely scenario that you were asked to identify a series of six-leg bedchairs from their side-on silhouettes alone (a strange task, we know, but we’d probably watch just such a gameshow all the same…) you’d be very hard pushed to make out any distinguishing features from one to the next. Not so with this new one from Sonik, the AXS Duralloy Levelbed, which has its legs in places other beds can’t reach…

This is where the AXS shows its innovation. Sonik calls it a ‘Stance’ frame and it effectively means the legs aren’t where they are on traditional six-leg beds (i.e. either side of the central panel and at the head end). The ‘outer’ legs (the ones at the feet and head ends) are much more spaced out, meaning there’s even weight distribution throughout and more support for the overhangs. It’s one of those simple but effective ideas that offers the rigidity of an eight-leg bed without the extra weight. That feeling of reduced bulk is emphasised by the large bracketed hinges that can accommodate a sleeping bag in the folded position and the twin compression straps to keep it all in place during storage.
