Is a sofa cum bed better than a folding bed for guests?

For most homes, yes. A sofa cum bed is useful every day as a sofa and gives a more comfortable bed. A folding bed is cheaper but has to be stored and brought out each time.

Is a folding bed more comfortable than a sofa cum bed?

Usually not. Folding beds often have thin mattresses and a frame you can feel. Our sofa cum beds list 40 density foam.

Which is better for a very small flat?

If you have no space for a sofa at all, a folding bed can hide behind a door. If you need a sofa anyway, a sofa cum bed does both jobs in one footprint.

Sofa cum bed vs folding bed at a glance

Comfort: sofa cum beds usually have thicker foam; folding beds often have thin mattresses.

When a sofa cum bed makes sense

Choose a sofa cum bed if guests stay several times a year, if you need a sofa anyway, or if you have no spare cupboard to store a folding bed. Storage designs can hold bedding too; see sofa cum bed with storage vs without.

When a folding bed may be enough

A folding bed may be enough if guests come once or twice a year and you already have a sofa you love. Choose one with a thicker mattress.

Plan for guests

Count how many nights a year someone sleeps over.
Check the space in front of the sofa for the bed to open.
Keep a sheet, pillow and light quilt ready in storage.
Ask us for the open sleeping size.
