Before buying, it's a good idea to measure out the size of the sofa bed on the floor of the room you're going to put it to make sure it will fit. This one is fairly self-explanatory, but if your sofa bed is going to be your household's main sofa then make sure you have enough seating space for everyone to sit comfortably. A chaise sofa is great for families or couples as it allows two people to recline, or extra room for kids to pile on.

Our Algo 2-seater sofa folds out to form a small double bed. The cushions then function as pillows in bed mode.

Alternatively, a pull-out sofa bed is often the most similar in design to a traditional sofa. In this design a dedicated mattress and a collapsible bed frame are pulled out of a hidden compartment under the sofa seat cushions. When looking at the seat before the bed is extended, you might never know a sofa bed was hiding inside. Pull-out sofa beds tend to have a much wider range of upholstery choices, so you won't need to compromise on style choices. Because they are most often produced by specialist sofa manufacturers, it's more likely that the sofa bed will be part of a coordinating furniture range, so it's easier to blend one of these options in with a wider living room set. If you’re looking for a large sofa bed that won't break the bank, then Habitat's very generous Habitat Kota sofa bed offers spacious seating at a very affordable price point.
