Abstract
A berthing divan for use in a conveyance such as an aircraft. In embodiments, the berthing divan includes a frame supporting a seat bottom subassembly and a backrest subassembly coupled for synchronous motion between a seating position and a berthing position. A finished backrest panel is attached to the frame. A plurality of roller support mechanisms are attached to the backrest subassembly and are configured to roll against the backrest panel as the divan transitions between the seating position and the berthing position, and are configured to support the backrest subassembly in each of the seating position and the berthing position of the divan.
