Our top tips:

  • In click clack beds, look to fibre fill seat cushions for a softer, more plush sleep surface.
  • In pull-out sofa beds, you'll want to keep an eye out for specialist pocket spring and memory foam mattresses.
  • Frames - the bigger your sofa bed, the bigger your mattress, so you and your guests will be more likely to enjoy an uninterrupted sleep.
  • Storage sofa beds are more likely to come in the form of a bigger sofa bed, and who doesn't love a bit of extra storage for all your spare duvets and bedding.

Is it worth getting a sofa bed? The verdict:

Naturally, the answer to this question will depend on your personal situation. For instance, if you live in a five-bed property with two rooms to spare then, chances are, you're not as pressed when it comes to space for guests. That said, being able to utilise one of your spare bedrooms as a study or second living space might be on your interiors wishlist. In such cases, single and double sofa beds can be a great addition and allow for more versatility in the home.

On the flip side, if you live in a one-bed apartment, a sofa bed will be crucial. Speaking from experience, being able to give my guests an actually comfy place to rest their heads when they stay has been paramount to my hosting through the years. Not to mention it's meant I didn't need a credit broker just to pay the rent that a two-bed would require of me…


How we tested the sofa beds:

To test as many sofa beds as possible, our team used them in their own homes, sitting and sleeping on each one for a minimum of 30 days (and often much longer). We evaluated the fabric quality, ease of cleaning, comfort level, and overall design. In addition, we considered the warranty, sustainability credentials, and how practical the sofa bed was for daily use, before deciding whether a model would make it into our round-up.

For those we haven't tested at home yet, we've curated a list of the most popular and wishlisted items across our favourite online furniture stores. As interior journalists with extensive decorating expertise, we've examined customer reviews, complaints, product specifications, and key features to compile a list of products we genuinely believe offer great value. We've also visited countless showrooms and attended exclusive brand meets to get the lowdown on the best sofa beds on the market. If there's a fault, we'll let you know, and you can rest easy feeling like you've got a broad overview of each product, answering all your FAQs, before you head to the checkout.
