Part of the problem with folding furniture is that it's a hassle.

I wouldn't move into a house that only had room for a sofa bed, because I know myself well enough to know I'd end up leaving it in bed mode all the time. Fold up and store my duvet and pillow, and lift some heavy ass mechanism every morning? No thanks.

I can see the appeal of something fully automated, just like I can see the appeal of getting a motorised standing desk instead of a hand-cranked one.
