A sofa bed with a sleep function can replace several pieces of furniture in a living room, guest room or small flat. Many models look similar in product photos, but in everyday use the differences become clear, particularly in the sleeping area, ease of use and overall dimensions. If you focus only on colour or a low price, you could end up with a sofa that’s too short to sleep on, awkward to unfold or takes up more room than expected.
A sofa’s overall width tells you little about the actual sleeping area. A 191 cm sofa bed may have a sleeping area that’s considerably less than 191 cm wide. Always check:
The Jahnke Chillax is 191 cm wide overall. Its stated sleeping surface measures 108 × 167 cm. This length may be suitable for the occasional overnight guest, but could feel a little short for taller people.
A sofa bed shouldn’t just have a bed function on paper. A clear folding mechanism, a stable base and enough room to move around are all important. The Jahnke Chillax is listed as having fold-out metal legs for use as a bed. Assembly instructions and fixings are also included. According to the product details, assembly should be carried out by at least two adults.
Foam upholstery can feel different depending on its density, construction and how much it’s used. Without specific details about foam density, it’s not possible to make a general judgement about how well it will retain its shape over time. So be sure to check:
The Chillax is listed as having a polyester or bouclé cover and foam padding. The care instructions recommend carefully vacuuming the cover; harsh cleaning products, washing and bleaching are not recommended.
Measure the available space not only for the sofa, but also for when it’s unfolded. The Chillax is 84 cm deep in sofa mode and has a stated depth of 108 cm when unfolded. Compare these measurements with the distance to your coffee table, cupboard or walkway.
A larger model such as the Jahnke CHILLAX DREAM is 213 cm wide. Its sleeping area is listed as 213 × 103 cm. This gives it a different balance of seating and sleeping space compared with a more compact space-saving sofa bed.
A three-position adjustable backrest can be useful if you want one piece of furniture for sitting, relaxing and sleeping. Check whether the sections can be adjusted separately and which positions the manufacturer specifies. The Chillax is listed as having three functions: sofa, relaxation and sleeping positions. According to the product description, the backrests can be adjusted individually.
Maximum load capacity is an objective point of comparison, but it doesn’t replace checking the construction and considering how you’ll use the sofa. The 191 cm model is listed as supporting up to 240 kg. According to the product details, the CHILLAX DREAM can support up to 320 kg and has fold-out metal legs. Load capacity figures should always be treated as manufacturer specifications and observed in line with the assembly and usage instructions.
Why this product suits this profile: This compact sofa bed is 191 cm wide and converts into a sleeping area for occasional overnight guests. Two matching scatter cushions are listed as included.
The overall dimensions and sleeping area are clearly specified. This makes it easier to check whether the sofa will suit your available space and height before you buy.
191 cm wide, three stated positions, fold-out metal legs and a maximum load capacity of 240 kg according to the product details.
Why this product suits this profile: At 213 cm wide, this model is suited to households that need more seating and sleeping space and have room for its larger dimensions.
The sleeping area measures 213 × 103 cm and the depth when unfolded is 103 cm, making it easier to see how much room you’ll need.
Stated load capacity of up to 320 kg, bouclé cover, side storage pockets and an adjustable backrest.
Why this product suits this profile: A pillow can complement a sofa bed and complete your personal sleep set-up. It isn’t part of the sofa bed, so choose one separately to suit the size and your sleeping position.
Its dimensions of 42 × 70 × 8 cm are clearly stated. This makes it easier to check whether it will fit your existing pillowcase and suit the available sleeping area.
Memory foam construction and clearly stated dimensions; whether it’s right for you depends on your sleeping habits and the pillowcase you use.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
Before assembly, protect the floor with a soft, wipe-clean covering. Follow the instructions provided and check that all the legs sit firmly on the floor once assembled. If your sofa has a bed function, try converting it before adding bedding or scatter cushions.
Follow the care instructions for the specific material. For the Jahnke Chillax, the advice is to vacuum the cover carefully and keep it out of direct sunlight. Remove scatter cushions and store them separately before unfolding the sofa.
Allow extra room to move around as well as space for the sleeping area. The Jahnke Chillax has a stated unfolded depth of 108 cm. Also measure the distance to furniture and doors so you can use the folding mechanism without obstruction.
That depends on the sleeping area, upholstery construction and your personal comfort needs. Many models are designed for occasional overnight stays. Before using one every night, check the manufacturer’s specifications, the sleeping area and whether you can use a suitable mattress topper.
There’s no reliable one-size-fits-all answer. Its lifespan depends on factors including how often it’s used, the user’s weight, the mechanism, upholstery and care. Clearly stated load capacity, correct assembly and regular checks of the folding legs can help you choose and use your sofa bed safely.
