Training your luxurious futon mattress to bend
Futons have evolved in thickness and plushness, whether they be a firm wool wrap or soft touch or visco coil. How do these mattresses of 8 inches or more adapt to dual duty for couches and sleeping? Joanne demonstrates a solution to breaking in a visco coil mattress so it easily converts from bed to couch. Enjoy this Youtube Nikita video.
Joanne in June at New York City Craft Fair Lincoln Center
I love this picture ... I think you can feel the heat of the noon day sun... it was very hot that weekend... so we were very glad to be by the cool, refreshing water.
We were fortunate enough to have “waterfront property” at the NYC Craft Fair at Lincoln Center on June 19 and 20. It was an incredibly hot 2 days – and yet our booth stayed relatively comfortable. We kept the back of the tent off so that we could feel the cool breezes wafting up from the water. It really was very lovely. It felt like a vacation spot. People kept stopping in to sit down and lean back on our Nikita Scandia Chair – they would always comment on what a fabulous spot we have – by the cool water, with the amazing sculpture and the Julliard School beyond.
BTW – somebody bought the chair.
Nikita Indoor Outdoor Furniture on the road again
Summer is creeping up on us, and now is the time to order those convertible sofabeds for home and “camp” to ensure they are ready for vacation season guests. Since our sofabeds, chaise lounges and chairs are custom made according to your choices of wood, finish, futon type and slip cover, we ask for 3-4 weeks lead time. (If you’re in a pinch, we sell items from our showroom floors.)
In this merry, merry month of May, we’ll be visiting upstate (Delaware County, Walton Fairgrounds) and downstate (Woodstock, New Paltz) New York demonstrating our “Just Lean Back” convertible furniture. Hope to see you at the following home/craft shows where we’ll be ready to take your orders.

Nikita Indoor Outdoor Furniture now in Saratoga Springs
Hello Saratogians,
Hope you’ve had a chance to meander by the new
Nikita Indoor Outdoor furniture store at 508 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY. You’ll discover a new kind of furniture for every environment: living room, bedroom, den, mancave, porch, patio or poolside– with a patented design that has wheels and reclines gently down from sofa to bed by just leaning back. Ahhh, Nikita’s website is aptly named www.JustLeanBack.com.
Nikita Indoor Outdoor convertible furniture design is a unique concept in comfort, durability and versatility. Our sofabeds, loveseats and chaise lounges are sleek, modern and minimalistic yet incredibly strong. They’re simple to convert from sofa to bed and vice versa.
Whether your apartment is small space challenged or you’re living the loft life, this uber comfortable, multi-functional furniture will fit your needs. But don’t take my word for it, come on down to 508 Broadway, relax and just lean back in a Nikita sofa and leave behind the day’s stresses (so relaxing, we’ve had people almost doze off).
We have fun showing how easy it is to transform your living space with Nikita Indoor Outdoor convertible furniture. We’ve started this blog to showcase our furniture in real home and outdoor settings (porch, patio or pool), provide design tips and who knows where our ideas and imagination will take us. We’re the new store in town and we’d love to hear from you; we welcome comments, questions and suggestions for blog topics. Or stop by, say Hi and let us know you found us in cyberspace. That will surely make our day.
Thanks for listening,
Mary Robinson

P.S. Nikita convertibles are made of 100% solid hardwood, a renewable resource, and are made locally here in upstate New York State, made in U.S.A. They’re sustainable and all wood we use is from FSC Certified Mills, so they qualify as green building materials.
P.S.S. Can’t wait to blog more and show pics of my Nikita sofabed, loveseat and chair gracing my one-room schoolhouse home.
