Osvald and Cone share the same bed size, the same storage-first design brief, and the same comfort system built for everyday sleeping. Cone is, in Innovation Living’s own words, “the interior storage sofa of the Osvald with a brand new arm design” — so the comparison here isn’t about the mattress. It’s about arms, and one feature that only one of the two offers.
What they share
Both use Pocket Spring Dual, the comfort system carrying an explicit everyday-sleeping recommendation from the manufacturer. Both convert to a 59″ x 79″ queen bed. Both are built around a large under-seat storage box — solving bedding storage was the founding idea behind Osvald’s design, and Cone inherited the same storage-first approach. Both use legs that automatically fold out during conversion.
Where they differ
Osvald is armless — a softly rounded, minimalist profile with no arm option in the base design. (If you want arms on this general storage-forward shape, Innovation Living points toward Cone instead.) Osvald dates to 2015, designed by Emil Højfeldt and Per Weiss.
Cone adds fully upholstered arms and plush cushions, giving it a cozier, more conventional seating feel than Osvald’s minimal profile. It’s the newer of the two, designed by Per Weiss in 2023 — effectively Osvald’s storage concept reworked with a different arm treatment for people who want more structure to lean into while sitting.
The single-bed conversion — Osvald only
Here’s the detail that doesn’t show up in a spec comparison: Osvald can convert to a single bed as well as a queen. Remove the back cushions and the same mechanism produces a 31″ x 79″ single bed in a few seconds, without needing the full queen footprint.
That’s a genuinely useful option if the room sometimes needs a queen for a couple and sometimes just needs a single for one guest — a home office that occasionally hosts a couple and occasionally hosts one visitor, for instance. This flexibility isn’t confirmed for Cone as of this writing; if it matters to you, ask before ordering.

How to decide
If you want the leanest possible profile — no arms taking up visual or physical space — Osvald is the more minimal of the two, and it’s the one with the single-bed flexibility if that matters for your use case.
If you’d rather have something to sit against while relaxing, and don’t need the single-bed option, Cone’s upholstered arms make it feel more like a conventional sofa day to day, while keeping the same storage and mattress.
Either way, both pair with the Cornila storage ottoman if you want to add a chaise extension or extra seating alongside.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Osvald and Cone? Mainly the arms. Osvald is armless with a minimalist rounded profile; Cone has fully upholstered arms. Both share the same bed size, storage box, and Pocket Spring Dual comfort system.
Can either of these convert to a single bed? Osvald can — remove the back cushions and it converts to a 31″ x 79″ single bed in addition to its 59″ x 79″ queen. This isn’t confirmed for Cone.
Which is better for everyday sleeping? Both use Pocket Spring Dual, which carries an explicit everyday-sleeping recommendation from the manufacturer. The mattress performance is the same; the seating experience differs by arm style.
Do Osvald and Cone have the same amount of storage? Both are built around a large under-seat bedding box as the core design idea. Confirm exact storage dimensions for your specific configuration before ordering.
Storage and everyday comfort are equal between these two — the decision comes down to whether you want arms. See the full construction details in our comfort systems guide, browse Osvald and Cone directly, or get in touch to confirm the single-bed option before you order.
