Rhea Roll Out Action Sofa Bed
The Emma silhouette, in stock for fast delivery. The Rhea, when you can't wait twelve weeks.
The Rhea matches the Emma's shape closely. Square arms, low square back, two attached back cushions, two seat cushions, all upholstered as one continuous piece on a low dark plinth base. Finished with two loose scatter cushions, piped seams along the cushion edges, and a slightly fuller cushion fill than the Emma for a softer sit.
The difference is how it ships. Two stock fabrics, Light Grey and Dark Grey, are held in our warehouse for fast delivery. If neither works for your room, the Rhea can also be ordered in eighteen other fabrics on a twelve-week made-to-order lead time. This is the sofa bed for the customer who needs something soon and is open to grey, or who has a specific other fabric in mind and is happy to wait.
Inside is the Sedac Epona roll-out action, the same mechanism we use in the Emma, the family of actions we held UK distribution rights for from 1962 to 2020. Pull the seat forward, the back rolls down, the bed lays flat. One-handed conversion in seconds.
If you're choosing between Rhea and Emma, this is the call. Rhea ships fast in two greys, slower in eighteen other fabrics. Emma is fully made-to-order across the full hundred-plus fabric range from the start. Same mechanism, same shape, different fabric routes.
Crafted not assembled. Handmade in our British workshop. Solid hardwood frame. FSC-certified timbers. Sedac Epona action paired with our own upholstery and frame engineering. White glove delivery and assembly anywhere in mainland UK.

Rhea. Stock-ready Sedac Epona sofa bed, made in Britain.
