Sofa Beds - UK

What are Sofa Beds?

A sofa bed is an ordinary sofa for sitting that unfolds into a bed for sleeping. It is a versatile furniture option with a dual purpose, which is what makes it such a popular piece of furniture.

All sofa beds are different. Most have a folded metal frame underneath the sofa cushions and a thin, flexible mattress. Others fold down and recline flat with a click-clack design. All that is then left to do is add your bedding, and you have completed the transformation!

Use your sofa bed as a seat to lounge back and relax on during the day and as a comfortable bed to sleep on at night. It is the perfect addition to any living room, spare room, or bedroom.

Creating Furniture Flexibility With A Sofa Bed

Sofa beds make your home a flexible living space. You can transform your living room into a guest room or double it up as your bedroom in a studio flat. The possibilities are endless with this versatile piece of furniture.

Sofa beds add personality to your home. Whether you're looking for a velvet corner sofa bed with wood legs or something upholstered in a faux leather material with chrome finished legs, our incredible range of stylish sofa beds comes in a vast array of colours and styles, and you also have many choices when it comes to fabric and material.

Not only is a sofa bed an incredibly complementary piece to add to the aesthetic of your home, but it is also great for practicality - saving you space and money!

The Benefits Of Owning A Sofa Bed

There are many benefits to owning a sofa bed. The most obvious of these is that sofa beds are incredibly space-saving for those who live in small studio flats or apartments — especially our compact sofa beds or those with built-in storage. A sofa bed works well no matter the size of the room it is in. After all, why have two separate pieces when you can have it all in one?

Blending seamlessly into your space, a compact sofa bed with a pull-out system can eliminate the need for cluttering your home with unnecessary furniture or items that you only bring out of storage when you have family or friends staying over. Sofa beds are great for people who often have guests but don't have spare rooms to accommodate them. Turn your chair into a double bed in seconds — for yourself or for your guest.

Investing in a high-quality sofa bed is great because it is just as comfortable as any other bed. It also saves you money and is easy to use. But just because it is practical, that doesn't mean that it can't be stylish too! Many modern sofa beds come in stylish designs and vibrant colours. Our contemporary sofa beds look trendy and elevate the design of your interiors — many people prefer the way they look to an ordinary sofa.

How To Choose Your New Sofa Bed

There is a myriad of things to consider when you shop online for a sofa bed, including the type of sofa bed, the size, the colour scheme of your space, and your budget.

When selecting your new sofa bed, it is best to approach it in the same way that you would if you were buying a normal sofa, chair, or bed for your home. Here are some considerations that can help guide you to finding a simple or luxury sofa bed for your UK home:

The Size of Your Space

Firstly, you should consider the size of the area you intend to place your new sofa bed in. All specifications and measurements of the sofa beds in our collection are included within each product description.

It helps to measure the space that it will be in or mark out the size of the sofa bed within that space to see if it will be cramped or comfortable. If you live in a small flat, you'll definitely want to measure the space to ensure the size is right. If you're looking for space-saving sofa beds, consider whether you need a 2-seater sofa bed or something smaller, and look out for models with built-in storage to further maximise your available space.

Comfort Levels

A sofa bed serves as a sleeping space, so another important factor when buying a sofa bed is how it feels when you lie down on it as a bed.

This is important for getting a good night's sleep and ensuring you or your guests don't wake up the next day with sore muscles. That being said, your sofa bed should be comfortable as a sofa, too, with just the right amount of cushioning and structure in the backrest and armrests. Be sure to check the softness and support of the material, or even try it out first if you can. You should look for comfy sofa beds with high-quality sofa cushions, such as our thick foam-filled futons or sofas that offer good back support.

Durable Materials

The next important thing is material. There is a huge range of materials used along with wooden or metal frames. Wooden frames are the most popular and are extremely durable, ensuring that your sofa bed is a long-term investment.

You will also need to decide whether you would like your sofa bed to be upholstered in fabric, velvet, or faux leather. The upholstery material depends entirely on personal preference and style, as well as what would look better in your space.

Whether you prefer a leather-look metal frame sofa bed or a velvet sofa with wooden frames, we stock high-quality sofa beds for everyday use that deliver longevity and a premium feel.

Easy, Hassle-Free Operation

Last, but definitely not least important, is the open and close mechanism. It is important to make sure that your sofa bed is easy to operate and recline or unfold.

A click-clack (or clic-clac) sofa bed is not noisy and clicks firmly into place when you pull it, so you can be confident in its sturdiness, regardless of the size or whether it is a 2-seater slim sofa bed or a wider 3-seater sofa.

The simple click-clack system that we use in our sofa beds is straightforward and hassle-free, though it does require some space to be available behind the sofa, as the backrest is designed to be pushed back and laid flat. We also stock a futon or pull-out sofa bed range that requires free space in front of the sofa instead.

For many homes in the UK, a sofa bed is the ultimate furniture solution. Order yours online today!

How To Decide On A Design

Deciding on the right design for you depends entirely on your own personal style preferences.

It can be overwhelming at first when you shop online as there are a lot of choices when it comes to design. But if you decide on your priorities before browsing — such as colours, style, and fabric options — that will narrow your search down and make it easier to find the sofa bed of your dreams.
