Sofa beds

Why choose a sofa bed?

Sofa beds are a practical way to add extra sleeping space without taking up more room during the day. They’re ideal for living rooms, home offices and smaller homes, giving you a comfortable sofa and a guest bed in one. Find out more about using sofa beds for saving space.

How do I choose the right sofa bed?

Start by thinking about your space and how often the sofa bed will be used. A compact design may suit a smaller room, while larger spaces can accommodate bigger styles such as 3 seater or corner sofa beds. It’s also important to check both the sofa dimensions and the bed size when it’s unfolded, then choose a material and style that work with the rest of your interior.
