SPECIALIST IN SOFA BEDS & MURPHY BEDS

What should you pay attention to when buying a sofa bed?

When you buy a sofa bed, you're choosing a sofa to sit on, but also a fully-fledged extra bed. Perhaps you're looking for a comfortable solution for guests, or perhaps a clever combination of seating and sleeping functions for a studio apartment or guest room? Whatever your reason, a sofa bed should be just right. In terms of comfort, convenience, and appearance.

But the selection is overwhelming. Different sizes, mechanisms, fabrics, and price ranges make choosing a difficult task. We'll tell you exactly what to look for when buying a sofa bed, so you can confidently choose a model that truly suits your situation and home.

One of the first questions is: how much space do you have?

And not just when closed, but also when unfolded as a bed. Therefore, measure the width and length carefully. Also, allow for sufficient walking space when the sofa bed is unfolded. A common mistake is that the sleeping function is not easily accessible.

Also consider the placement in your home. sofa bed In a small room? Then a compact model with a functional mechanism is more practical. If space isn't an issue, you can opt for a larger sofa bed, perhaps with storage space or a luxury mattress.

What to Look for When Buying a Sofa Bed

Seating comfort and sleeping comfort in one

A good sofa bed offers the best of both worlds: a comfortable seat and a good bed. So pay attention to the mattress thickness and the material used. Mattresses from 14 cm offer sufficient support, especially when combined with sturdy mechanisms. Choose a model with a separate seating and sleeping area.

The mechanism makes the difference

Not all sofa beds unfold the same way. The mechanism determines how easily (and how often) you can use the sleep function. For daily use, we recommend a solid system like the Royal Mechanism. It's reliable, strong, and doesn't require loose cushions or complicated folding.

Is the sofa bed used only occasionally? Then you can also opt for a simpler mechanism like the Comfort or Functional mechanism. These are often more affordable and sometimes take up less space. Whichever you choose, they're perfectly adequate for sleepovers.

So ask yourself: how often will the bed be used? And by whom? Our advisors are happy to help you find the right mechanism for your new sofa bed.

Choice of material, fabric, color and appearance

A sofa bed should also be beautiful. It's a piece of furniture that deserves to be seen. That's why we offer an extensive fabric collection. From sturdy textiles to luxurious velvet, in dozens of colors and textures.

Do you have children or pets? Then durable and easy-to-clean fabrics are recommended. Do you appreciate warmth and softness? Then choose fabrics with a soft pile. You can also sometimes opt for removable covers, which makes maintenance much easier.

How practical is your new sofa bed?

A sofa bed should be beautiful and comfortable, but also practical for everyday use. Think of cleaning, changing sheets, or storing bedding. Some models have clever extras like an integrated storage compartment for pillows and blankets. Other sofa beds have zip-off covers that are easy to wash.

It's also important to consider the construction. Strong seams, durable padding, and sturdy frames ensure your sofa bed will last for years.

What is your budget and what can you expect for it?

Sofa beds are available in all price ranges. But cheap often turns out to be expensive. Cheaper models can quickly sag, wear out, or become uncomfortable, especially if they're used frequently. If you choose a model that will be used daily, it's worth investing a little more in quality.
