Lounge Lovers - Sofa Beds Online

At the intersection of lazy-Sunday comfort and last-minute-guest functionality lies the sofa bed. This inspired piece of furniture promises to be there with a welcoming couch when you need a warm sanctuary to rest, and a full-sized bed when you need a place to sleep.


The sofa bed is at its best in homes with limited space. For those living in compact studio apartments and one-bedroom units, sofa beds provide comfortable seating and sleeping arrangements, without taking up the space of two bulky pieces of furniture. Purchasing a sofa bed is also an affordable alternative to investing in both a couch and a bed.

Sofa beds can be stylish, modern, funky, plush, large or small, and almost any colour of the rainbow. Here’s how to decide which to choose when shopping for sofa beds online.

Consider the space for your sofa bed

Furniture decisions always start with the same consideration – space. How much of it do you have, and how much of it do you want to fill?

The desire for a grandiose 3 seat sofa bed won’t always align with the physical realities of limited floor space, so be sure to begin by taking accurate measurements. Keep these measurements on hand when researching sofa beds for sale, and be wary of judging by appearance alone, as furniture showrooms are often so spacious that they can make furniture seem smaller than they are.

Industry tip: Use painter’s tape to create an outline on the floor of the dimensions of any sofa bed you’re looking to buy. This will help you to see how it will sit in the room and amongst other furniture.

Smart and multi-functional: for the ultimate piece of versatile furniture, you can’t go past the Divano 2 seat sofa. This statement piece of furniture can be transformed from a 2-seater into dual single swivel chairs, a recliner, a king-size bed, or even two single beds.

Seek the most comfortable materials

Plush, warm, and welcoming – a soft and comfortable material is paramount for an everyday couch, and absolutely essential for any sumptuous sofa bed.

Not only is a soft fabric perfect for snuggling into, it’s considerably more comfortable to sleep on for your guests. Look for cotton, polyester blends, and even velvets for the most luxuriant materials.

Check the opening and closing mechanisms

After a lifetime of sleeping on beds and relaxing on couches, it’s relatively easy to determine the good beds and couches from the bad. The more challenging element is knowing how to ascertain a high-quality sofa bed — and it often comes down to the simplicity of the opening and closing mechanism.

This can be the difference between quickly pulling out a bed at night and collapsing into a comfortable slumber, or struggling and finding nothing but frustration.

The most uncomplicated sofa bed is the futon style, such as the elegant Felix 3-seat sofa bed, which simply folds up and down. At the other end lies the pull-out couch, such as the sophisticated Cove 3-seat sofa bed, which requires you to pull out the foot of the bed to unfold a full mattress.

Test the sofa bed out

A sofa bed will become your oasis for well-deserved relaxation, just as it will become a reliable place to sleep for cherished friends and family when visiting.

Shopping online is the natural place to start to research sizes, styles, colours, and fabrics, but making a visit in person is the only way to truly test new furniture. In store, take your time to relax into each armchair sofa bed, corner sofa bed, and two- and three-seat sofa beds. This will allow you to find the sofa bed that is as comfortable as it is aesthetically pleasing.
