Collection: Model 10 Sofa Bed

Before picking your sofa bed, it pays to think through the practical stuff. How often will it double as a bed, and does the mattress offer enough comfort for regular use? Will it fit your space easily when folded out, and still work as a sofa day to day? It’s also worth checking how comfortable it is to sit on compared to a standard sofa, plus how easy it’ll be to move into place.

Yes, you can sleep on a sofa bed every night, especially with modern designs. However, for long-term use it’s important to choose a high-quality model made for daily sleeping. Cheaper or traditional sofa beds often lack proper support, with thin or uneven mattresses that can lead to aches and disrupted sleep. If you plan to use yours nightly, look for a sturdy frame, a supportive foam or sprung mattress, and a durable mechanism built to handle frequent opening and closing.

A sofa bed typically lasts between 7 and 15 years, but its lifespan depends heavily on how it’s used. If it’s slept on every night, it may last closer to 3–5 years, while occasional use can extend its life to 8–15 years. Choosing a well-made design with a solid hardwood frame, durable mechanism, and giving it proper care can make a noticeable difference to how long it lasts.

Because their mattresses are typically thinner and less supportive, sofa beds can’t always match the comfort of a regular bed, and that can mean broken sleep and aching joints over time.
