How to Buy the Right Sofa Bed
Buying the right sofa bed is easy when you use our four step buying guide:
- Determine the space of the room
- Decide if you need modular seating or a standalone couch
- Think if you will you host couples or singles
- Match your style to the design
The first step in choosing the correct sofa bed is measuring your space. If it is going along a wall you’ll want to leave room for an end table with a lamp so your guests can have an easy way to turn on and off the light at night, or at least a few inches from the edges on smaller walls to make the space not feel cramped. If the sofa bed is by an entrance to the room, these extra inches may stop people from accidentally stubbing toes or bumping into the arms.
Next think about if you’ll be hosting parties and tv nights in the space, and if you’ll be moving in the near future. A sectional sofa bed allows you to buy the pieces you need now, and provides the flexibility to move them to the outsides of the room during a social gathering to free up space vs. a single piece sofa bed which can only be moved against a wall.
When you pick a sectional couch you can add pieces to it when you move to a larger home, or as your need for additional seating in your current home grows. You can move smaller pieces to other rooms for extra seating as a bonus. Single piece sofa beds are better for smaller spaces as they take up less room, and they take less trips when moving since it is one piece vs. multiple if you plan on moving any time soon.
Now that you know the space and style, think about the guests you’ll have staying over. If you have mostly singles staying with you, a twin or full size sofa bed is ideal. For couples, queen sofa beds and king size are going to sleep them more comfortably. But don’t consider that now, think about five years from now. If you’re in your early twenties and all of your friends are single, you’ll likely still have the sofa bed in five years once people start getting married. Plan for the future.
This is why queen size sofa beds are the most popular. They don’t take up as much space as a king size, and they can sleep two people comfortably compared to a full size. The last step is to match the sofa bed to your aesthetic and lifestyle. If you don’t mind a twin or full, and want a “wow” factor, the bunk bed couch is a perfect and unique sofa bed featuring an unexpected sleeping area.
Traditional pull out sofa beds can be great as the person won’t need to figure anything out and everything is as expected. Some sofa beds like our Harmony line drop the back of the couch down expanding both forwards and backwards which works perfect for couches that sit in the center of a room or have space behind them.
And there are modern or style-flexible options like the split nest which can configure multiple ways to match any and every seating and sleeping need as the entire couch is truly modular.
Staff Favorites
Now that you know how to buy the best sofa bed from Expand Furniture, here’s a few staff favorites if you’re stuck on style.
Harmony - Traditional Sleeper Sofa
Sleep should be restful, and you should relax in a harmonious state. That’s why our staff recommends the harmony sleeper sofa in both queen and king sizes. The back of the couch lowers to reveal the sleeping area for your head, and the bottom lifts up to create a comfortable and flat sleeping surface. It comes in multiple fabrics including eco-leather and durable mixed fabrics to help prevent stains, aging, and makes cleanup a breeze.
The Harmony queen size sofa bed is our compact style that can fit in most family or living rooms, and is ideal for one bedroom and studio apartments or small spaces. For game rooms and larger areas, opt for the king size. Your guests will enjoy being able to spread out and sleep comfortably as this is the ultimate in luxury sofa beds.
The Dormire V2 Double Decker
This is the viral sensation you’ve seen on social media and on TV, it is a standard couch with a hidden secret. The seating area expands effortlessly upwards to reveal a sleeping area with a super comfortable mattress. The seating area is safe to sit on when expanded upwards and the key lock has been secured to stabilize the supports. The full transformation takes less than a minute and the hardware is our original design made so it is easy enough for a grandparent to open.
Split Nest Sectional Sofa Bed
It does not get more modular than the split nest sectional sofa bed. Split Nest comes with removable and flexible arms, can be stationed as a pair or separate pieces, and you can extend one out to be a single sleeping surface while the other stays put for sitting, or both for a larger sleep space. It’s the cozy hideaway that doubles as a sleeper sofa and is something we may catch team members using to take a break on during the workday in the showroom.
Harmony Single Sofa Bed
For small spaces and rooms that need an extra bed, Harmony single sofa bed is the perfect space saving option. It is a single person couch that folds out into a single person sleeper sofa and easily retracts back to a couch.
