Whether you’re looking to maximise space in your studio, you’re host to the occasional guest but you don’t have a spare bedroom, or you want to level up your movie night prowess, a quality sofa bed will be a gamechanger.
Usually more compact than regular sofas, a sofa bed is often a click-clack (push down the back of the sofa until it lies flat) or the traditional fold-out (AKA pull-out) – with the latter often the more comfortable option.
