Turn any room into a bedroom with a Sofa Bed!

Sofa beds have changed a lot over the years and now there are more options than ever, to find a sofa bed that is both stylish and functional to suit any space.

Check out our handy tips below for what to consider when buying a sofa bed for your home.

MEASURE IT

Always measure your sofa bed before you commit to buying. Don’t forget to consider its size when fully opened too and ensure there is still enough space within the room to move around the bed.

FUNCTIONALITY

Will it be a sofa or a bed most of the time? Does it need to be compact? Considering your sofa bed’s functionality can help you pick out the right one and help you focus on the importance of size, and the comfort level of the mattress, seat or both.

CHECK MATTRESS QUALITY

Good quality sofa beds have inner sprung or memory foam mattresses. For extra comfort try adding a mattress topper.

TEST IT

Try opening and closing it to see how it feels. It should be easy to operate, and you shouldn’t have to strain to open it. Take a seat, and don’t forget to lie down to see how the mattress feels too.
