Futon-style convertible beds aren't known for comfort but coddles chair and a half is an exception. The wide chair unravels into a twin bed with sinuous springs and a semi-firm pocket coil mattres. All it takes is a few gentle pulls and sliding the matching ottoman into place for the piece to transform from a handsome, cozy chair to a comfortable bed.
The modular chair is made for forging a sleeping space out of even the smallest room without having to roll out a rickety cot or dedicate tons of real estate to a daybed or pullout sofa. The oversized chair, upholstered with your choice of plush velvet, flat weave (what I have) or soft boucle, isn't just a handy bed, when needed, but my new favorite place to curl up with a book or laptop and chill.
It takes about 5 seconds to turn this chair into a bed.

There are other, cheaper convertible-style chairs, and I've tried a few, but the Switch chair has a premium feel and mattress supportive enough to sleep on for more than a night. I did a deep dive into reviews before pulling the trigger and my research paid off, landing me with with a spare bed that helped my dad get the "best night sleep he's had in weeks" during a visit in June.
I opted for sturdy flat weave fabric and I don't regret it.

Coddle's Switch Chair and a Half is currently down to $899 – $400 off the normal price – until July 6th, along with the mostly direct-to-consumer brand's full-sized sofas, sectionals and loveseats.

The Story So Far: The Boeing (NYSE:BA) Air India Crash
Happy Fourth of July to all of you out there, whether you are joining in the commemoration of the independence of the United States or simply just grateful it is Friday. But today, since there is likely to be no further movement on this front, it seemed like a good day to run down the story so far on one of the biggest stories to hit Boeing (BA) yet: the Air India disaster. And while we only have so much to consider so far, the news that has come out to date is presenting a deep and complex picture.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. A Bit of History First, we should start with some history. Flight AI-171 departed from Ahmedabad, bound for London, on June 12. The flight was not aloft long; it had not even managed to get more than a thousand feet off the ground when the flight issued a Mayday transmission and subsequently crashed. Immediately thereafter, questions began to circulate in earnest. What happened? Did Boeing screw something up? Again? Or was it the airline that was to blame here? What little we knew at the time, and know so far, has begun to paint a picture. The idea that the airline was to blame seems a bit of a long shot. The plane, as it turns out, had been quite well maintained. One of its engines was nearly brand new, back in March 2025. The other engine was somewhat older, but had been part of a regular maintenance plan, which would check it again this December, before the incident. Thus, many turned on Boeing itself. After all, mechanical failures at Boeing were nothing new. We all remember the Alaska Airlines (ALK) incident that sent Boeing into a tailspin to begin with. It is only just now digging itself out of that one. So the thought that Boeing might have been responsible for this was actually quite rational. However, flaws in that logic emerged. The planes in question were not the same model; the Alaska Airlines flight was a 737 Max, while the Air India was a 787 Dreamliner. The Dreamliner, which had been in service for 14 years, had yet to record a single fatality in that entire period. It had seen some earlier incidents, yes. But this was the Dreamliner's first fatality in its entire service run. Potential Explanations Thus, we get to today. The black boxes have been pulled from the wreckage—both of them; there were two, after all—which includes flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders. Reports note that it will be 'months' before Indian authorities release their findings, though early determinations have started to slip out. A New York Times report noted that the flight was perfectly normal, until it was not. Runway distance was adequate. Wing flaps and slats were extended. Takeoff was launched from a point that was, approximately, perfectly normal. So how did it go from 'relatively normal' to 'catastrophe' in the space of seconds? The Times report noted that the landing gear retraction process had failed, and that in turn suggests a reason why the plane's Ram Air Turbine (RAT) had been activated. This in turn suggests a complete failure of electrical power, hydraulic power, or even full engine power. We know that a dual engine failure is remarkably rare on a 787 Dreamliner. These things simply do not happen. But, on the Air India flight, it may well have done just that. One word that emerged like the specter of death from the Indian government, however, was 'sabotage.' The possibility of such a move was not ruled out as of Monday, and investigators are still looking into the notion that a vanishingly-rare-in-the-wild dual engine failure might indeed have been deliberate. Another unexpected wrinkle landed when what turned out to be a social media hoax began making the rounds. The hoax revealed a cause of the crash—a malfunctioning captain's chair—that caused the pilot to pull several controls accidentally. The co-pilot, the report noted, was unable to intervene, as the malfunctioning seat left the co-pilot unable to access any of the controls. This was later found to be false, though given the nature of the report and the information available at the time, this also proved to be a surprisingly plausible explanation. Still, in the end, it will take several months before this entire situation is ironed out, all the data analyzed, and an actionable conclusion reached. And it is a situation that most every Boeing investor will be following with great interest. Is Boeing a Good Stock to Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on BA stock based on 17 Buys, two Holds and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 16.82% rally in its share price over the past year, the average BA price target of $226.42 per share implies 4.86% upside potential.

Trump signs his tax and spending cut bill at the White House July 4 picnic
'America's winning, winning, winning like never before,' Trump said, noting last month's bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear program, which he said the flyover was meant to honor. 'Promises made, promises kept and we've kept them.' The White House was hung with red, white and blue bunting for the regular Fourth of July festivities. The United States Marine Band played patriotic marches — and, in a typical Trumpian touch, tunes by 1980s pop icons Chaka Khan and Huey Lewis. The two separate flyovers bookended Trump's appearance and the band playing the national anthem. Democrats assailed the package as a giveaway to the rich that will rob millions more lower-income people of their health insurance, food assistance and financial stability. 'I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying that this is a crime scene,' Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said during a record-breaking speech that delayed the bill's passage by eight-plus hours. 'It's a crime scene, going after the health, and the safety, and the well-being of the American people.' The legislation extends Trump's 2017 multitrillion-dollar tax cuts and cuts Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion. It provides for a massive increase in immigration enforcement. Congress' nonpartisan scorekeeper projects that nearly 12 million more people will lose health insurance under the law. The legislation passed the House on a largely party-line vote Thursday, culminating a monthslong push by the GOP to cram most of its legislative priorities into a single budget bill that could be enacted without Senate Democrats being able to block it indefinitely by filibustering. It passed by a single vote in the Senate, where North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis announced he would not run for reelection after incurring Trump's wrath in opposing it. Vice President JD Vance had to cast the tie-breaking vote. In the House, where two Republicans voted against it, one, conservative maverick Tom Massie of Kentucky, has also become a target of Trump's well-funded political operation. The legislation amounts to a repudiation of the agendas of the past two Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, in rolling back Obama's Medicaid expansion under his signature health law and Biden's tax credits for renewable energy. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the package will add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the decade and 11.8 million more people will go without health coverage.
