Customer Testimonials
Dear Nikita,
Nancy and I would like you to know just how pleased we are with our new sofa bed. When we remodeled our upstairs and created the new guest room, we needed a compact yet sturdy and comfortable convertible bed. The Freedom Frame Double has exceeded our expectations. It took us no more than 15 minutes to assemble, and even the children find it easy to convert from couch to bed and back again. In fact they were the first ones to "break it in."
Several things about your product stand out. First, the Freedom Sofa bed eliminates the "death bar" of traditional fold-out beds. And the Freedom Frame's near to standard height is ideal for older folks to get up from. The cushion is extremely comfortable and supportive and provides a wonderful night's sleep.
More important to me, however, is that this is the most comfortable couch in our home. I have short legs, and consequently have never found myself able to sit with the proper lower back support. The Freedom Frame's shallow seat depth and high back combine to provide excellent lumbar support as well as a comfortable resting place for the neck. While the trend in sofas is large, plush cushions that "swallow" the lounger, this regal seating posture is the opposite of what the spine needs. Your Freedom Sofabed, while still maintaining an attractive and inviting profile, provides support and comfort both as a bed and a couch. When we get around to replacing our convertible sofa in our family room, we will be heading back to Richfield Springs for another one of your Nikita Convertibles.
Yours Truly,
David Perlman & Nancy Potter - Cooperstown
Dear Nikita Convertibles,
When our son left home to live on his own we were left with an empty bedroom that we decided to change into a study, but the room still had to be serviceable as a bedroom when our son came home to visit. The Nikita Scandia Convertible was the perfect answer.
As I have aged, I've lost a lot of strength in my hands and forearms, but converting the Nikita Scandia from sofa to bed is a breeze with the easy to use "flipbar" mechanism.
Style, versatility, adaptability and comfort - who could ask for more.

Part or our mission statement for the Hartwick College Pine Lake Environmental Campus is to "demonstrate environmentally responsible stewardship" and to show "how people can sustain rather than deplete the environment". Nikita's commitment to using locally grown, managed ash, makes a perfect match. The furniture looks good and is sturdy and functional. Its versatility makes it especially useful in our rental units and student housing. It stands up to hard use by college students with little or no maintenance needs. AND, it is made locally, using locally produced materials and labor as much as possible. A requirement for a sustainable future.

We have our Nikita full size Convertible in our daughter's room.... now that she's away at college. It makes a great guest room! She has one at college too - under her lofted single bed. It's the hang-out place on her dorm floor.

I slept on one of these Freedom Frame sofabeds last summer for several months at a friend's house and found it to be very comfortable. I was delighted to finally put one in my own guest room - making it a much more versatile space.

My son, Andrei loves the Freedom Frame sofabed that we put in our guest room. My only regret is that I did not buy it sooner! The black metal futon we had before was a nightmare! For a couple of years it gave everyone who tried to sleep on it a terrific back ache - and then it just collapsed. We now have two Freedom Frames in our home... and are absolutely pleased with them!

My wife and I had definite criteria when we set out to buy living room furniture early this fall. It certainly had to be "green" (environmentally responsible) and it had to serve double duty as an excellent bed for visiting family and guests, yet we did not want a regular size sofa taking up most of the room space. The Nikita Cambria Loveseat and Chair fit the bill perfectly!
They combine to make a double bed when we need it! We love the footstool too - not only for putting our feet up when reclining (we took the Sure Stop Recline Kit as well) but it combines with the chair to make a single bed. The clean, simple Nikita styling works well with our other furnishings and the solid oak looks great with our wood floors. And because the Loveseat and Chair have wheels, our floor is not getting scratched and I or my wife alone, can prepare the room for guests.
