Brühl Moule Two-seater, Fabric Grey

Brühl Moule – a sofa bed with swivel seats

A sofa by day, a guest bed by night, all in one piece of furniture: the Moule is intended for this kind of everyday life. Roland Meyer-Brühl designed it so that both seats of a two-seater swivel. A seat is turned 90 degrees, the armrest comes to the front and becomes a footrest; you then recline the backrest to any angle. On the Moule Medium, the two seats become a double bed. Brühl has offered the model since 2003 and today makes it in four versions.

Moule two-seater in grey fabric – floor model

This Moule is a two-seater with a grey fabric cover and a sleep function. It was on display in a showroom and was never used in a home. The two seats swivel and can be converted into a sleeping surface, turning the sofa into a bed for guests. The neutral grey suits almost any interior. The sofa suits living rooms or guest rooms where one piece of furniture has to do both jobs.

Seating comfort and space

How firm a Moule feels depends on the upholstery construction. Brühl combines sinuous springs with layers of high-density foam and adapts them to the model, the desired seating comfort and the type of cover. A soft layer of wadding sits on top. The seat height of 42 cm is typical. The sofa needs 1.8 m of width and 90 cm of depth. In the lying position, a Moule two-seater becomes up to 60 cm wider and 44 cm deeper, according to the current dimension sheet. It is best to measure the space beforehand.

Functions and additions

You operate the sleep function by hand: swing both seats 90 degrees forwards, lower the armrests, and set the backrests to any angle down to horizontal. According to Brühl, the lowered armrests are a footrest, not a seat. The series includes three-seaters, armchairs, footstools and corner configurations. Brühl offers replacement covers and spare parts such as glides through specialist retailers.

Caring for the fabric cover

It is best to remove dust and crumbs weekly with the upholstery nozzle. Dab stains straight away with a damp cloth and do not rub. The cover can be removed; it is attached to the frame with hook-and-loop strips. For cleaning, Brühl's guidance is: dry-clean, or, for washable fabrics, wash on a gentle cycle at up to 30 degrees.

Why a Brühl Moule floor model?

The Moule has been in the range since 2003, and Brühl designs its sofas to last for decades. Covers, padding and mechanisms can be renewed, and replacement feet and glides are available from the manufacturer. It is made in Bad Steben, where the family business has been based since 1948. This sofa comes from a showroom, not from a household. It has been inspected in eight stations.
