Mid priced; At Macys Furniture Gallery in Rego Park/Elmhurst Queens (G/R/V trains- 2 stops from E,F,7 trains and LIE; Incredibly supportive, small space consuming sleep sofa in great microfiber colors. See http://www.americanleather.com/sleepers/hires/savoy_cs.pdf

From Furniture Today...

"AU (for American Upholstery), an all-fabric line, features seven frames (sofa, sectional, loveseat, chair, ottoman, recliner and five sizes of sofa-sleepers) available in 25 microfiber suede covers. The line has a standard shipping time of two to three weeks...

...At about $1,400 retail for a sofa, the AU price points are significantly lower than a comparable American Leather sofa in Ultrasuede, which is about $2,500, said Matthew Hayward, national sales manager for AU...

...AU's lower price points are expected to create a broader market for American Leather's proprietary Comfort Sleeper line, which offers sofa-sleepers in five sizes (king, queen, full, twin and cot) engineered with the comfort standards of regular bedding and traditional mattress dimensions.

"We're very excited to be able to get the innovative (Comfort Sleeper) product into a broader price point range because it has been a huge part of our success," said Bob Duncan, president...

The fabrics are woven polyester with the easy-care and durability stories that consumers have some to expect from microfibers...

For the higher priced market the same "Comfort Sleeper" system is available in one of the many colors of leathers offered at Macys on American Leather's Lisben frame at about $2,600.
