We have the "Easy Rest" dual control sofa in our 2013 Adventurer. Personally I like it, but my wife isn't so fond of it. It has a fairly deep seating surface which doesn't work well if you're 5' 3" or less. With the deep seating surface and short legs your knees are on the seating surface rather than at the edge. Your legs are suspended in air rather than bending at the knees and allowing your feet to touch the floor.
I regularly use the couch when watching TV. Occasionally I slightly recline the back, but most of the time it's in the upright position. Even in the upright position it's on enough of an angle to be comfortable.
It makes a comfortable bed if you're short enough to sleep on it length ways (I'm 5'9"). If you have to raise the "ottomans" and sleep in the same direction you sit on it that's a different story. There's a small gap between the normal "seating" area and the ottoman extensions. While it makes the sleeping area longer it also puts your knees in the gap. In addition it totally blocks the walkway between the couch and the dinette. No one can go to the drivers or passengers seating area without climbing over the sleeping area.
As far as I know it's a Winnebago exclusive. "Rest Easy" is a brand name made by the "Stitchcraft" division of Winnebago. I don't know if they make it for brands other than those in the Winnebago family.
Here's a link to some information from Winnebago Industries about the "Rest Easy" couch.

Also note the video fades to full bedding before the seating area is fully extended. Thus there is nothing showing the small gap between the seating area and the ottomans.
