How to Choose the Right Sofa Bed
Choosing a sofa bed goes beyond matching it to your décor. It’s about finding the one that actually works for your space, your routines, and the way you rest.
Before you commit, here are five things to think about so you end up with a sofa bed that truly earns its spot:
- Size and space. Measure your room carefully, including clearance for pull-out beds or a fold-out design. Check that it fits through doors, hallways, and lifts before delivery day.
- Comfort and support. Look for pocket springs or high-density foam that feel close to a real mattress. Medium-firm options suit most sleepers with back pain.
- Use and durability. For everyday use, choose sturdy frames and fabrics that can handle constant lounging. Occasional guests can get by with lighter builds.
- Easy care and setup. Removable, washable covers keep maintenance simple. Smooth, tool-free assembly saves time and effort.
- Smart features. Built-in storage or modular designs give extra flexibility for small spaces and busy homes.

Chances are you’re opting for a sofa bed because space is at a premium or because you don’t intend to use the bed very often.
Your choice of sofa bed should be influenced by three main factors:
- How frequently you intend to use it
- The space available and access to that space
- And finally, your budget
I’m going to show you what’s available in terms of good, better, and best choices.
If you’re only going to use your sofa bed very occasionally or you’re on a tight budget, we have a number of good options which are extremely easy to open.
The easiest type of sofa bed to operate is a click-clack, like this Smart sofa bed, which simply lifts forward and then pushes back to form a flat platform.
Another good option is a fold-out foam sofa bed, like this Maisy model. The foam mattress can be folded out in seconds and is ideal for sleepovers and unexpected guests.
An alternative to the foam mattress is what’s called a trundle mechanism. Sofa beds like this Scarlet model have a platform that pulls out like a drawer and have the added feature of a storage compartment for sheets and pillows.
A really popular choice is a corner sofa bed, like this beautifully designed Sasha. Here, the sleeping platform simply pulls up from beneath the seat, combining with the chaise end to form a double sleeping area.
Delivered in two parts with removable arms, it’s ideal for situations where access is tricky and can be assembled as a left-hand or right-hand facing unit.
Our Bolero sofa bed has an A-frame construction. Pull the front panel forward, and the sofa bed runs out flat into the sleeping position. A clever Canever system takes it back to the sitting position.
All these options are good, compact solutions for occasional use.
For frequent or everyday use, a two-fold slatted mechanism is the best choice. It allows space inside the sofa for a deeper, more comfortable sprung or memory foam mattress. It also ensures the mattress is folded only once, preserving its life for longer.
With this Revel model, after removing the seat and back cushions, the mechanism folds out simply to reveal the fully sprung mattress.
This Porsches sofa bed is a good example of a three-fold mechanism.
An alternative to a conventional mechanism is a stacked mattress, such as this Sonoma.
If you plan to use your sofa bed continuously or for prolonged periods of time, consider upgrading to a pocket sprung or viscoelastic foam mattress.
Finally, for something a little bit special, consider an air mattress — inflating to create a generous, supportive sleeping area.
Our unique air mattresses inflate and deflate in under 30 seconds. Simply twist on the electric pump and the foam-quilted unit inflates automatically.
Simplicity itself to use, and an absolute bliss to sleep on.
What Sofa Bed Should You Get?
Start with how you live. If it will be your daily lounge and a regular bed, go for real mattress support and a sturdy build.
If you host now and then, a quick fold-out with hidden storage might be perfect. Prefer timber warmth and clean lines? Choose a wooden base like Echo or Grove.
Need flexibility in a small home? Nimble’s modular design makes space work harder.
Explore our range of durable sofa beds in sizes from armchair to king, all simple to set up and easy to care for.
Pair your sofa bed with our fitted bed sheets for a complete sleep upgrade that feels as good as it looks!
