In embodiments, the divan includes at least two seats wherein one seat is positioned directly in front of the emergency exit and includes a lower frame assembly and an upper frame assembly. The upper frame assembly includes a seat pan subassembly configured to raise and lower relative to the lower frame assembly, and a backrest subassembly rotatably attached to the seat pan subassembly. In use, the backrest rotates to a position overlaying the seat pan subassembly and the seat pan subassembly lowers toward the floor to achieve a step-up height of not more than 20 inches to comply with the step-up height requirements for a Type-III emergency exit.
