The advantages of a sofa bed: 2 in 1

The sofa bed is much more than just a piece of furniture. It's a versatile solution that combines comfort, design and functionality, responding to modern needs for space optimization. Long considered a secondary piece of furniture, the convertible sofa is now at the heart of interior design trends. Whether for entertaining friends or providing extra bedding in a studio apartment, this type of furniture meets many practical needs without sacrificing aesthetics.

A sofa and a bed

The sofa bed makes it easy to transform your living room into an extra bedroom. Thanks to a quick and simple mechanism, a simple gesture is all it takes to deploy a quality bed. Recent convertible sofa models, whether straight or angled, incorporate technologies that facilitate their daily use, guaranteeing effortless opening and closing. This added practicality makes the convertible sofa a must-have for those who want to maximize their space without compromising on comfort.

Save space with a sofa bed

In confined spaces, such as a studio or small house, a sofa bed is often one of the best solutions. It lets you transform your living room into a bedroom without having to set aside an entire room for this purpose. Models with trunks add an extra dimension: they can discreetly store sheets, comforters and pillows, freeing up extra storage space in your closets. In this way, you optimize every square meter of your interior while benefiting from dual functionality.

A practical, aesthetic sofa without sacrificing comfort

Convertible sofas combine practicality and aesthetics, without sacrificing comfort. It opens and closes in seconds, thanks to intuitive, reliable mechanisms, often with a single handle or a fluid rotation system. Sleeping comfort depends largely on the height of the mattress. Top-of-the-range models feature thicker mattresses, with a density designed to provide a quality sleep equivalent to that of a real bed. So, even in convertible mode, you make no compromise on comfort, whether for occasional or regular use. 

How to choose a sofa bed?

Choosing a sofa bed depends on a number of key criteria, such as the space available, the style of your interior design and how you intend to use it. It's essential to select a model that combines aesthetics, comfort and practicality. Here's what you need to consider to make the right choice.

Choosing the type of sofa bed to buy

The type of sofa bed will depend mainly on the space you have and your preferences in terms of functionality and comfort. Here are a few options:

- Straight convertible sofa: This model is ideal for small spaces. With its compact design, it blends easily into any interior style, while offering comfortable sleeping.

Choosing the right mattress thickness for a comfortable sofa bed

The comfort of a sofa bed depends largely on the thickness of the mattress. Depending on how you use it, it's important to choose the right mattress:

- 8-10 cm mattress: This type of mattress is suitable for occasional use. Although thinner, it is ideal for occasional guest accommodation.
- 12 to 15 cm mattress: If you plan to use your mattress on a regular or daily basis, a thicker mattress will offer better support and comfort comparable to a real bed.

Define the number of places required for your sofa bed and the number of berths.
