Resource Furniture Penelope Sofa
Two-seat sofa wall bed designed and made in Italy by Clei, in manual or motorized versions. Pricing is quote-based from a published starting price, and dimensions live in a PDF tearsheet we could not verify as text, hence the dashes.
Resource Furniture publishes a starting price but takes enquiries rather than orders, so this goes to its quote form rather than a checkout.

Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
- The room has to work as a living room by day, and you do not want to shift furniture to open the bed.
Look elsewhere if
- You care how the lift is engineered. This maker does not say what mechanism is inside.
- You want a choice of sizes. This model is offered in queen only.
- You need a king. This model is not offered in one.
What Resource Furniture publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Resource Furniture publishes 3 of them for the Penelope Sofa. The 11 it leaves out are worth knowing before you buy, because each one is a decision you will end up making without the maker's help.
- Not published: open depth. Which means the open depth is absent, and without it no room-fit calculation is possible at all.
- Not published: how it mounts. Which means the listing never says whether it bolts to the wall, anchors to the floor or stands free, which is the first thing to settle if you rent.
- Not published: the lift mechanism. Which means you cannot tell whether it lifts on gas pistons, on steel springs, or with no assistance at all, so there is no way to judge how heavy the bed will feel or which part wears first.
- Not published: maximum mattress thickness. Which means no maximum thickness is stated, so the mattress you already own is a gamble until somebody measures the closed cabinet.
Also absent from the manufacturer's documentation for this model: the mattress weight window, whether a mattress is included, panel materials, the warranty term, cabinet width, cabinet height, closed depth.
We leave these blank rather than estimating them. A — in our tables is always a gap in the manufacturer's own documentation, never a number we chose not to look up.
What people get wrong with this one
Treating a sale price as the price
This category runs near permanent promotions, and the figure in our table is what the manufacturer showed on the date we checked. Confirm the current price before you budget around it.
Ordering before anyone has measured the open bed
The maker does not publish how far this one reaches into the room, and that is the number room fit turns on. Ask the dealer for the open depth in writing before you order, not after.
Trusting the carton dimensions
Where assembled dimensions are not published, the figures that circulate are usually shipping carton sizes lifted from a spec sheet. A carton is not a cabinet, and the two differ by inches in both directions.
Closest alternative on price
The nearest model to this one on price is the Resource Furniture Kali Duo at $8,745 against $9,425, a difference of $680. They are not the same kind of product, so the table below is the honest comparison.
