Sofa Beds

What is a sofa bed? 

Some homes have ample space for spare bedrooms for guests to stay; other homes have to be more economical with how they use the space. Sofa beds are one way to have a stylish living area, but with the option to have people stay over, without compromise. A sofa bed is a sofa, also known as a futon, that either folds out or folds flat to become a comfortable bed.  

Fold-out sofa bed 

The more traditional option of a sofa bed, the fold-out sofa bed is where the mattress for the bed is hidden in the frame of the sofa. The mattress folds out on a frame and looks like a normal bed. The Julian Bowen Vivo Furniture Mink Chenille Sofa-bed comes in different colours and is built with a hardwood frame for extra sturdiness. They can also be referred to as a pull-out coach.  

Fold down sofa bed 

A more modern and space-conscious approach, the fold down, or lay flat, sofa bed is where the back of the chair is lowered to offer a double bed. The Vida Living Furniture Lokken Dark Grey Velvet Sofa Bed is made for comfort with a velvet finish. This oak sofa bed frame has stylish and strong turned oak legs for added quality.  

Where would you use a sofa bed?  

Living Room 

If you do host friends and family but either don’t use it regularly or have the space, the living room is one of the most popular rooms for an oak furniture sofa bed. Being one of the most used rooms in the home, you don’t want a permanent bed fixture in there just in case you have visitors. You wouldn’t even know the sofa is actually is an oak futon sofa bed. 

Bedroom/Guest Room 

Although you may want a static bed frame in your guest bedroom, you can give yourself the option of changing this room to another living space just by opting for an oak sofa bed. Turning a room, you barely use, into a gaming room or a library. The oak sofa bed also works great in a home office as well.  

Studio apartments 

For the person living in one multi-purpose room, an oak sofa bed is virtually essential. Studio apartments do not offer much in the way of real estate and having both a bed and a sofa will dramatically reduce the space you have for any other types of furniture. Simply folding your bed away opens up the room to be used how you want to use it.   

What are Oak Furniture House’s sofas made from? 

Fabric Sofa 

Fabric can vary in quality and feel, but generally a fabric sofa bed is soft and comfortable. They usually work out cheaper and offer more options for style and design. 

Velvet Sofa 

Another soft and durable material, velvet has been determined to have been around for thousands of years. Originally it was a complex material to make and therefore only made for the richest in society. Since modern industrialisation, you can find a velvet sofa bed almost anywhere and they still look and feel as luxurious as before.
