The present invention relates in general to convertible furniture, and in particular, to a new and useful furniture unit that converts from a bed to a table or desk, and back. Convertible furniture unit has a base and a bed platform connected to the base for displacement about a first axis from a stowed position to a use position. The platform is adapted to support a mattress. A table panel is pivotally mounted to the platform for displacement about a second axis between a support and a use position. An extension is pivotally connected to the table panel for rotation of the extension between an upper position for propping the panel in its working position, and a lower position. The extension pivots on a spreader fixed to the base. The spreader also contains a spring and optional linear actuator for controlling displacement of the platform.
