The Havana is a true lounging sofa — it is long, low and comfortable. This is a convertible sofa that one would never suspect. It's remarkably easy to manipulate and transition from sofa to bed and the independent oversized pillows add a relaxed vibe to the super-sleek aesthetic.
The Havana comes with one large and one small loose cushion. Additional cushions are available from Design Within Reach for $218 & $228.
Besides its weight, the major downfall is that it is only a twin bed — though it makes up for this with built in storage hidden underneath the firm cushions and within the wood (lined with aluminum) frame. The overall aesthetic is tailored and warm — the perfect cozy anchor for a large open room or loft. If I had room for a sofa this large and heavy, I would consider the Havana.
At one time, DWR offered this sofa in 2 colors — brown and oatmeal boucle. It is currently only available in oatmeal (though extra cushions are available in brown).

A friend has this-its very nice and its slightly wider than a twin.
Nice moden version of the Davenport
Call me crazy, but a $3500 sofa shouldn't have a seat that's lower than the average coffee table...
...and it should come in something other than beige.
twin bed? for that price, I hope it could accommodate my couple friends.
Here's hoping Ana from Knock Off Wood comes up with a hack - and soon!
It looks lovely, but NOT comfortable.
Long sofa + single cushion = puckered fabric galore.
the sofa looks...just okay. for that much cash, it should look fabulous.
also, why is part of one lampshade missing? (photoshop of horrors?)

I'm curious about why you think that re: seat height vs price? I would assume seat height were a matter of preference, rather than any sweeping generalizations about the superiority of not having to bend one's knees as much. Or is it that generally lower = less materials/easier construction?
Back - I mean way back in the late 50s, I remember sleeping on such a sofa at my grandma's. And I remember well the annoying crack between the sofa back and the sofa seat - the two just didn't meet at the same height.
we have one of these in storage after a client switched it out for a different sleep sofa. although very well made, there are a number of problems. firstly, the Havana is horribly hard and too deep for anything other than slouching. this is exacerbated by a lack of seat fall (i.e. the seat is totally horizontal) putting extra pressure on your lower back. the cushions are also too soft to provide any real sitting support. finally, the back rest rotates outwards to make it a bed, meaning you can't have it up against a wall if you want to be able to make it into a bed or you have to move it forward (a hassle). oh, and the bed size is not a standard US queen or twin, so no standard bedding can be fitted. all in all, you would expect a better designed product for the money.
$3500 for a twin or "slightly larger" sleeper way too pricey regardless of it's appearance.
