Sofa with invertible ottoman extension

An ottoman for use with sofa including opposite end portions each having a nonlinear, nonsymmetrical, forwardly facing surface portion, the forwardly facing surface portions being mirror images of each other, said ottoman comprising

• opposed, generally horizontal first and second surfaces, and
• a nonlinear, nonsymmetrical, generally vertical third surface portion extending between said first and second surfaces,
• said ottoman being positionable in a first position wherein said first surface faces upwardly, said second surface faces downwardly, and said third surface portion is positioned in closely adjacent complementary relation with one of the forwardly facing surface portions of the sofa, and said ottoman being positionable in a second position wherein said second surface faces upwardly, said first surface faces downwardly, and said third surface portion is positioned in closely adjacent complementary relation with the other of the forwardly facing surface portions of the sofa.

A device for converting a sofa including a generally horizontal support surface adapted to support a cushion, said device comprising

• an invertible ottoman which is separate from the sofa and which includes opposed, generally horizontal first and second surfaces, each of said first and second surfaces having therein a plurality of threaded bores, and one of said first and second surfaces being upwardly facing,
• a plurality of support members, each one of said support members including a threaded projection which is threadedly receivable in one of said threaded bores to attach said one support member to one of said first and second surfaces, whereby said first surface faces upwardly when said support members are attached to said second surface, and whereby said second surface faces upwardly when said support members are attached to said first surface, and
• a seat cushion extending over and supported by said upwardly facing surface of said ottoman and adapted to extend over and be supported by the support surface of the sofa.
