An aircraft sofa convertible to a bed is provided. The sofa-bed includes at least one seat including a seating surface and back support. A drawer is disposed underneath the seating surface and configured to extend outward from underneath the seating surface to define an under-seat compartment. The drawer also includes a panel system that is configured to be deployed in stages within the drawer for deployment of the sofa-bed to the bed and support at least one cushion. A lever-control handle is adapted to latch/lock in place panels of the panel system and release the panels therefrom. A bearing pad automatically drops into position by the deployment of the panel system and reacts to a downward load on a floor of a cabin of the aircraft located under the sofa-bed.
