Sofa beds

Sofa beds - the solution for everyday and occasional relaxation

Sofa beds are pieces of furniture that combine two key elements of a living space: a place to sit and the ability to convert into a sleeping area. Not every sofa with a sleeping function will fold out in the same way - so it is worth paying attention to the mechanism used, the way it is unfolded, the surface when unfolded and the type of mattress. In this category, you will only find models that offer the fold-out function as a full-fledged solution - not only for special occasions, but also for frequent use.

When is it worth opting for a sofa bed?

Fold-out sofas work particularly well in flats where there is no separate bedroom, or in guest rooms with multiple functions. They are a popular choice for studios, teenagers' rooms and as living room furnishings with overnight guests. They are equally at home in single-family homes as an extra bed in the living area.

A suitably selected sofa bed can function as an everyday bed - provided it provides adequate support, stability and comfort. It is therefore worth choosing models fitted with thicker mattresses or additional spring systems.

Types of sofa beds available in the umebluje.pl shop

You will find various variants of sofa beds on offer to suit a range of spatial and usage needs. The most popular choices are:

• 2-seater sofa beds - a compact solution for smaller rooms, with a sleeping area usually between 120-140 cm wide,
• 3-seater so fa beds - larger models with a more comfortable mattress that provide more space for relaxation,
• Folding sofas with a bedding container - ideal for everyday use, where it is important to be able to store duvets, pillows or sheets in one place.

Folding mechanisms - what is worth knowing?

How a sofa unfolds has a direct impact on its durability and comfort. Among the most popular mechanisms in this category are:

• DL system - one of the most commonly used, it involves extending the seat and lowering the backrest. It creates a uniform, stable sleeping surface.
• Belgian frame - a folding metal mechanism with a thin mattress. Works well as a sofa for occasional sleeping, such as for guests.
• Trolley unfolding system - the seat slides out on a slide and the mattress unfolds on a special structure. These types of sofa beds often have a bedding container.

Before buying, it is worth verifying how much space is needed to fully unfold the sofa - some models require as much as 220-230 cm of free space in front.

How much sleeping surface do sofa beds offer?

Pull-out sofas are available in a range of sizes - from compact two-seater models to larger designs that allow two to sleep together without restriction. The average sleeping surface ranges from:

• 120×190 cm in two-seater versions,
• to 140-160×200 cm in larger models.

For those planning to sleep on the sofa every day, models offering a full-size surface with equal support - preferably with a uniform mattress, without divisions or height differences - are recommended.

Sofa beds and choice of upholstery

When it comes to sofa beds, the material is not only of aesthetic importance. The upholstery should be resistant to intensive use, easy to clean and resistant to abrasion. There are sofa beds upholstered with:

• velour,
• hydrophobic fabrics,
• microfibre,
• natural or synthetic leather (eco leather).

Some fabrics have Easy Clean or Cleanaboo coatings, which make it difficult for liquids to be absorbed and make daily cleaning easier. This is particularly useful if the sofa bed is in a heavily used living room.

Why choose a sofa bed?

Sofa beds offer flexibility of use - you can use them as a classic sofa during the day and as a place to sleep at night. They are furniture designed for multi-tasking home life. Regardless of the size, style of interior and the needs of your household - you will find models in this category to suit a variety of design scenarios.
