Sofa Beds
What are the benefits of owning a sofa bed?
Sofa beds serve a dual purpose: During the day they offer a comfy seating option for you and guests to relax. Come night time, you can pop them open for a spacious bed to sleep in. This is particularly valuable in smaller living spaces or homes without a dedicated guest room. It allows you to make the most of your available space by providing a comfortable place to sit during the day and a cosy bed for guests to stay in overnight.
Sofa beds eliminate the need to purchase a separate sofa and bed, saving you money as well as space. Instead of dedicating space and budget to two pieces of furniture, you get the best of both worlds in one. This can be especially beneficial if you’re on a budget or if you’re looking to maximise the functionality of a specific room in your house. You will always be ready to accommodate friends or family who stay over unexpectedly. Whether it's a last-minute visit or planned stay, you can provide a comfortable sleeping arrangement without the hassle of setting up an air mattress.
Modern designs and technology have made sofa beds incredibly comfortable, ensuring that your guests get a good night's sleep. Many sofa beds feature high-quality mattresses and ergonomic designs that provide adequate support and comfort, so you and your guests can enjoy a restful night. At Meubles we have a wide range of beautiful sofa beds in various styles, materials, and colours, so whether you prefer a sleek and modern look or a more traditional style, there's a sofa bed for you.
What should I look for when purchasing a sofa bed?
Begin by measuring the area where you plan to place the sofa bed. Consider both the sofa's dimensions and how much space is required when the bed is fully extended. Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure the sofa bed you choose fits comfortably in your room without crowding the space.
Identify the primary purpose of your sofa bed. Will it serve as a guest bed, or do you need it for daily sitting and occasional sleeping? This will influence the type of mattress and mechanism you should look for. High-quality mattresses like memory foam or springs are suitable for frequent use. Sofa beds come with various mechanisms and it’s a good idea to test these mechanisms in-store, if possible, to ensure you are happy with how they operate.
Our sofa beds come in various styles, from modern and minimalist to traditional and classic. Choose a design that works well with your existing furnishings and reflects your personal preferences. Think about the upholstery material and its ease of maintenance.
What is the difference between a sofa bed and a futon?
Sofa beds typically mimic the appearance of a normal sofa but hide a dedicated mattress within the frame. Transforming the sofa into a bed usually involves a pull-out mechanism or fold-down backrest that reveals the mattress. Sofa beds are renowned for providing better comfort and support compared to a futon, due to the dedicated mattress which often includes high-quality materials like memory foam or springs. Futons have a more minimalist design and consist of a mattress that can be easily folded into both seating and sleeping positions. They tend to feature thinner and less supportive mattresses, which may not be as comfortable to sleep on.
Because of their sofa-like structure, sofa beds tend to be larger and bulkier than futons. Futons are typically more budget-friendly options compared to sofa beds, although Meubles does have a number of less expensive sofa bed options for you to choose from starting from €399. Sofa beds offer a wider range of styles and upholstery options, and our beautiful range at Meubles will surely have the perfect sofa bed for you.
