A stand-alone furniture arrangement may include a primary piece of furniture and a secondary piece of furniture fixedly arranged in an L-shape. The primary piece of furniture may include a hinge allowing the primary piece of furniture to transform from a first configuration to a second configuration. The second configuration may correspond to a bed having an essentially horizontal sleeping surface and with a longitudinal extension corresponding to the intended head-to-toe sleeping orientation of a user. The hinge may extend in parallel with a longitudinal extension of the second configuration.
