An Easy Sofa Bed Buying Guide

How to choose a sofa bed

There are many factors to consider when buying a sofa bed, including:

• Space: Where you put your sofa bed depends on how much space you have and how often you will use it. If you have guests to stay, a sofa bed in your spare room or home office might offer more privacy. However, if you’re short on space, choose a fold-out sofa bed that doubles as your living room couch.

• Comfort: The size and configuration of your sofa bed will impact comfort. A double sofa bed offers more space and comfort for a couple, while a single sofa bed would be perfect for a child.

• Style: Once you’ve decided where your new sofa bed will go, it’s time for the most exciting part—choosing the style. It’s completely up to you what design, colour, and fabric you think will complements the existing space in your room.

Measuring your space

Before choosing a product, follow these steps to ensure your new sofa bed will fit the space:

• 1: At JuzsportsShops, our product dimensions are given at the widest point. Always check that these dimensions are compatible with your space when the sofa bed is folded away and open.

• 2: When measuring, consider any protruding fixtures in the room, such as radiators, skirting boards, sloped ceilings, window ledges and door frames.

• 3: Check that the measurements allow sufficient access to the room. You'll need plenty of space to manoeuvre the item through stairways, doors and corridors.

• 4: Select the correct configuration for your space if you've chosen a corner sofa, as we offer left and right-hand designs.

Why choose a sofa bed?

Sofa beds are ideal for homes that don't have enough space to accommodate an extra bed but want somewhere for guests to stay. They can make your space more functional, doubling as a seating area and place to sleep. A sofa bed with storage underneath is ideal for keeping any extra bedding or towels for guests.

Where to put a sofa bed

Where you put your new sofa bed will depend on the size of your space and how often the sofa bed will be used. Popular locations include spare bedrooms, home offices and living areas.

Types of sofa bed

The type of sofa bed you choose will depend on the available space, how you intend to use the sofa bed and your style preference. These are some of the most popular configurations for sofa beds.

Corner sofa bed

A corner sofa bed or L-shaped sofa bed has plenty of space for guests whilst being a comfortable and luxurious sofa. These designs work well in spacious rooms, from living areas to spare bedrooms and home offices.

Chaise

A chaise sofa bed or futon sofa bed is ideal for home offices and spare rooms. These styles double as a seating area when not in use by guests.

2-seater sofa bed

A 2-seater pull-out sofa bed is another excellent option for smaller rooms. These space-saving designs are ideal for one or two people, folding out to the size of a standard double bed.

3-seater sofa bed

Want more room when you're relaxing, watching TV or having guests over? Choose a 3-seater sofa bed for a more comfortable experience.

Storage sofa bed

Storage sofa beds are available in various configurations to suit any space, from 2-seater and 3-seater models to corner sofa beds. Simply lift the seat cushions on the sofa bed and fill the storage space with spare bedding, towels or clothing.
