Buying a sofabed

When we need an extra bed for family or friends a sofabed is a good option. Sofa beds can either be stand alone or made up as part of a suite.

The choice of fillings in a sofabed is the same as a normal sofa. What’s different is the support because you sit on a thin layer of padding over the bed mechanism. That means sofabeds often feel firmer than a standard sofa or chair.

When used as a bed, the type of sleeping surface will depend upon the sofabed mechanism.

All our sofabeds have a metal frame that unfolds to the same height as the seating platform. A mattress is supported either on a canvas-like base or by a series of beech slats to let air circulate freely around it. These sofa beds give the closest feel to a normal bed.

Our sofabeds are for occasional use rather than permanent sleeping.
