5 Occasions A Sofa Bed Will Come In Handy

You might choose to buy a sofa bed for a number of reasons. For those who live in a small space, it’s a great multi-functional piece of furniture that doubles up as a comfy sofa and sleeping space for guests. Whether you are moving into a new home or redecorating your current space, we’ve rounded up 5 occasions you’ll be thankful you've added a sofa bed to your home.

1. Movie Nights

There’s nothing better than a late night, snuggling down in front of the TV with some snacks and enjoying a good film. As you start getting into the movie, no matter how comfortable your sofa may be, you just start to crave the feeling of your bed. That’s where a sofa bed can come in. Choosing one with a high-quality mechanism that will help you lift the bed up and out in a smooth motion and short amount of time, means you can have the comfort of a bed without leaving the room.

2. When You’re Having Trouble Sleeping

We’ve all suffered through sleepless nights, whether it’s your partner's snoring keeping you awake or it might just be one of those nights where you crave your own space to starfish in a bed (no judgement here). You could be worried about an upcoming event or work problem, when our sleep is affected it can cause a big impact on the rest of our day. If you can’t sleep in your regular bed, we’d suggest moving into the living room or spare room and laying on a sofa bed. This could help you drift off to sleep and not wake up with stiff joints because of an awkward sleeping position. 

Our Model 02, 04 and 08 sofa bed and chair bed range boast a double-layered, 7-inch thick foam mattress with over 300 pocket springs, so you won’t be compromising on comfort.

3. Seasonal Events

During Christmas, Easter, New Year and other seasonal events or holidays, it’s likely that more people will be visiting your home and even staying over for a night or two. This is where sofa beds can come in really handy. Not only will it provide extra seating for guests but gives them a comfy place to sleep too. 

4. When You Or Your Partner Are Unwell

If you or your partner are unwell, and don’t want to risk getting the other person sick, then a sofa bed can be a lifesaver. Sleeping separately on a sofa bed until you feel better can help prevent the germs from spreading and gives you more freedom to toss and turn and try to get comfortable while ill without disturbing your partner.

5. Last Minute Sleepovers

If you’re someone who loves to host, whether it be a catch-up with friends over a takeaway or a big get-together where drinks are involved. Sometimes plans change and someone can end up needing an extra space to stay. If you don’t have a spare bed available, instead of having your guest crashing on the floor, you’ll be able to offer a comfortable sleeping solution to keep you and them happy. 

Plus, we know hosting means there can be mess and spills here and there so all our sofa beds have a stain-resistant, easy to clean fabric option. Note: not all fabrics, but a small selection.
