I think with any R n R hinge, in the end, you build the seat so that it does drop level. You can always build a very narrow 'test' R n R bed (ie like a 2 foot wide seat/bed) out of bits of scrap wood, and fix the hinges to that so you get familiar with the movement and can figure out what you need to build. The good thing about a dummy or test seat/bed is you can get it right before cutting the real one. Thats how I did mine. Mine were Marklin hinges but the hinge is irrelevant really. Its the old motto of measure twice - cut once.
