A sofa bed can serve as a living room sofa, guest bed and apartment solution all in one. However, not every model suits every room size or intended use. If you focus only on colour and price, you can easily overlook important details such as a sleeping area that is too small, a complicated conversion mechanism or a lack of storage.
Many product pages mainly list the dimensions in sofa mode. For everyday use and overnight stays, however, it is crucial to know how much space the sofa bed requires in bed mode. Before buying, you should also check that doors, radiators and walkways remain clear.
A sofa may be able to fold flat while still offering only a short or narrow sleeping surface. This may be sufficient for occasional guests. For regular use, details such as the sleeping area, seat height, seat depth and mattress or upholstery construction are particularly important.
A sofa with under-seat storage is practical for bed linen, blankets and cushions. However, you should make sure it can still be opened when there is limited space between the sofa and the wall. With fold-out and pull-out mechanisms, clear assembly instructions, sturdy fittings and sufficient space in front of the sofa are also important.
Compact sofa beds, futons or a space-saving sofa with a folding backrest are well suited to small flats. A corner sofa bed usually offers more seating and sleeping space, but requires a larger footprint. Before ordering, we recommend taking the following measurements:
With a sofa with chaise, you should also check whether the side is fixed or can be changed. An ottoman that can be positioned on either side can make planning the room easier.
Upholstery can vary considerably. Pocket springs, zigzag springs, foam and memory foam respond differently to pressure and body weight. Specifications such as “T30 foam”, for example, refer to a particular foam classification, but they do not replace an assessment of the complete upholstery construction.
With a corner sofa bed, the sleeping surface should ideally be level. A split backrest with several positions is useful if the sofa bed is also to be used as a reading chair or lounger. For regular overnight use, you should also consider the available width, the base suspension and the manufacturer’s stated weight capacity.
Chenille, corduroy, velour and cotton velvet differ in texture, abrasion resistance and cleaning requirements. Removable covers can make care easier, but you should still check the permitted washing method. For homes with pets or children, darker colours and durable, tightly woven covers are often more practical. Claims about stain or scratch resistance should only be taken into account when they are clearly explained in the product specifications.
The following models differ in size, conversion method, storage and assembly. The details are based on the respective product descriptions. Before buying, check the current dimensions and delivery information on the product page.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
In addition to the product dimensions in seating mode, you need to allow for the full sleeping area. You should also leave enough clear space in front of the sofa for movement. With a corner sofa, the depth of the chaise should also be included in your room planning.
That depends on the upholstery construction, sleeping area, base suspension and the manufacturer’s specifications. Some models are mainly intended for use as a guest bed, while others are designed for more frequent use. For everyday sleeping, check whether the sleeping surface is level and whether a separate mattress is included or required.
Regularly vacuuming the sofa, caring for the cover according to its care instructions and using the seating areas evenly can help reduce wear. Mechanical parts should not be subjected to sudden or jerky movements. If you notice damage to the frame, hinges or feet, stop using the sofa until the issue has been assessed.
