What is the best sofa for sleeping ?

A sleeper sofa is not just a piece of furniture to sit on, but often the only place to rest at night. If you are wondering which model will work best for your daily sleep, below you will find a concrete comparison of reclining systems, mattress types and practical solutions. Sleeping sofa - which one to choose for a good night's sleep? Choosing a sofa for sleeping is a decision that affects not only the appearance of the room, but above all the comfort of sleep. For many people, the sofa is their daily resting place, so it must not only act as a seat. It is important that the design is properly matched to the frequency of use, the type of reclining and the type of mattress. Below you will find specific information to help you choose the best model for sleeping - both everyday and occasional. Everyday sleeping sofas - what to look out for? If the sofa is to be used as a bed every day, it is not enough to choose a model with a fold-out function. The system on which the sofa operates and whether the sleeping surface is even and stable are crucial. Models dedicated to everyday sleeping have a completely different design than guest sofas. The best sofas for everyday sleeping are those with the DL system and the Belgian system (known as sedaflex). With the DL system, part of the seat slides forward and the backrest is placed in its place, creating a wide and even surface. The Belgian system works like a classic folding bed - a frame with a mattress is hidden under the seat, which unfolds like an accordion. The sleeping surface resembles a bed, the mattress has a thickness of min. 10 cm thick, mechanisms designed for durability. A sofa with a bedding container - is it a necessity? In sofas for everyday use, a bedding container is a great convenience, but not every model has one. In systems such as sedaflex, the mattress and frame take up all the space under the seat. If you want extra storage space, consider sofas with a DL or trolley system - they usually offer ample storage. Types of reclining mechanisms - which is best for sleeping? 1. the DL system The most common choice for everyday use. Simple, fast and reliable. When unfolded it creates an even surface without gaps or indentations. Works well with different seat widths. Here it is worth noting the Sofe Cloud from MP Nidzica. 2. Sedaflex / Belgian A system with an integrated mattress on a folding frame. Ideal if you want a mattress quality similar to a bed. The downside is the lack of a storage box and the limited durability of the frame under heavy load. Here we will recommend the Libretto 3F Sofa by Bydgoskie Meble. 3. trolley (dolphin) The lower part of the seat slides out on wheels and then rises to the level of the seat. Often found in corners. Suitable for occasional and everyday sleeping if it has the right mattress. Take a look at the Laviano 3F Sofa by Bydgoskie Meble 4. click-clack Known for years, but more for occasional sleeping. The backrest falls flat to create a lying surface. Not very stable and often uncomfortable with prolonged use. The mattress in a sofa - does it matter? Yes. If the sofa is to be used for sleeping, the mattress must not be thin or rest only on foam. The best sofas for everyday sleeping have mattresses: high-density foam (min. T30), bonell springs - springy, but less point-fitting to the body, pocket springs - best fit to the body, point support, better sleep. It is not worth saving on the quality of the filling. Cheap models deform quickly, which translates into back pain and sleeplessness. Which sofa for a small flat? If space is limited, it is worth looking for compact models with a DL or click-clack system. Sofas with a width of 140-160 cm that, when unfolded, will allow two people to sleep. In the case of studios, it is also important that the sofa does not need to be moved away from the wall - models with the DL system can be unfolded without having to redecorate the entire room.

Dolphin or DL models provide lying space for two adults. However, it is important to remember that a corner sofa takes up more space and needs to be carefully adapted to the layout of the room. Sleeping sofa for one person - what to choose? If you need a sofa just for yourself, consider single-person sofa bed models, so-called mini sofa beds or armchairs with a sleeping function. They have a smaller surface area, but enough for a comfortable night's sleep. They are a good alternative for a small children's room, study or studio flat. Check out the single-seater sofas. Frequently asked questions - which sofa bed (FAQ) Can a sleeper sofa replace a bed? Yes, provided it is suitable for everyday use, has a solid mechanism and a suitable mattress. How often do I need to replace a sleeper sofa? The average lifespan of a sofa bed used daily is around 6-8 years. It is worth checking the condition of the mattress and frame. Does every sofa have a bedding container? No. Sofas with the Belgian system do not usually offer a storage compartment. If you want a storage compartment, check out DL or trolley models. What upholstery material works best? It is best to choose fabrics that are abrasion-resistant and easy to clean. Models with an aquaclean function or hydrophobic coating will make cleaning easier.
