The Deal: Sweet sofa savings during Plushpod clearance sale

The Beverly Boulevard store Plushpod, which carries Blu Dot, Fatboy and Magis products along with its own lines of contemporary home furnishings, is selling off its floor models and excess inventory to make room for spring arrivals. Discounts range from 20% to 80% on in-stock furniture, rugs and accessories. New orders will be discounted 10%. 

The sofa selections and savings are sweet. The Frank sectional, a Plushpod design, is modern and muscular in microsuede with steel legs and arms that are nearly a foot wide. Originally $3,450, it is marked down 40% to $2,070.

For tighter budgets -- and people who have overnight guests -- here are two options from Blu Dot. The Flat Out, show at top, is an armless divan that folds down to a full size sleeping surface -- ideal for a home office that doubles as guest quarters. It sits on stainless steel legs and has cross-stitched embroidery where tuft buttons normally go. Listed at $1,099, it's now $824.25, a 25% reduction. 

For a sophisticated design that's more suitable for a living room, there is Blu Dot's 80-inch-long One Night Stand, right. 

It has a similarly slim silhouette, but with arms and pillows. Remove the back cushions, flip the seat forward and it becomes a queen size mattress, as shown, below right. It's currently discounted 20%, from $1,799 to $1439.20.

Quantities are limited, and the sale ends when the merchandise runs out.
