Camping beds are not always very comfortable, though. "What's often a problem when using stretch material," Jonas says, "is that it can bow in the middle and you end up sleeping on each other rather than next to each other." The solution: easily tightened screws that keep the fabric tension at the right level.

We got this for our giant breed dogChristineOur dog is over 7ft stretched out and 60kg. This is an excellent bed for her.
I know it's designed for humans but we went to Ikea distinctly looking for something like this for our pet. Much cheaper alternative than a custom made dog bed for her size.
Easy foldable, however a bit heavy and not good for seatingCissyThe seats are dented and one cannot sit upright. Lying is fine but the seats cover is not thick enough
Low budget, compact & comfortable.CatherineNothing to add as I did my research, knew my budget & measurements for area it was going to be in & this ticked all boxes.
Hard and uncomfortable LaurenThis lounge is uncomfortable to sit on. The metal beam sits right under your butt. When folded out to bed a hard metal beam sits right between your knees and ankles when you lay down. Wish had never bought it.
Better than expectedTereingaGreat little fit in our small apartment sits 2 adults comfortable with cushions of course & love that it comes into a double bed practically , a bit low once its out as a bed but haven’t had any many issues other than set up being longggg
Exactly what I needed CalleighIt was a perfect but at such a good price. I wanted something for the spare room/games room, to both sit on and to have as a bed for any guests. It's easy to fold out and then fold back in after use. It feels stable and is good quality.
OK as a Temporary Bed and Temporary SetteeAntheaI said temporary, and I mean temporary, you need more padding underneath the very thin mattress to be able to sleep on it! Again, as a settee you need more padding underneath the sitting area.
Another point is the size of the mattress, I had to use a queen size sheet as it's a very odd size, probably a small double, and I had no other sheets other than a single sheet and the mattress is too big for a single.
Anyway, apart from those features, we have kept it and put it in my study. I was thinking of returning it as it really isn't up to Ikea's high standards and not as useful as I thought.
Good valueJosephineSolid piece, but took forever to assemble.
When the grandkids stayAlumeciEasy to set up for the grandkids when they stay over or extended family or friends. Doesn't take up much room in my small second bedroom/study/art room/play room.
100% On Point for the Price Point!KimExcellent product for robustness and ease of use. Efiicient design within its dimensions, with no waste. Good storage space available underneath when in sofa mode. Ideal for den, study, spare room. An additional roll-up/fold-up mattress pad will convert it from an adequate "camp-style" bed to a comfortable wide single bed.
Works well, good foldable bedSiti Salmah BinteMattress is thin and may need to add a topper for comfort. Other than that, ok to fix, good design and fold.
Even worse than it looksAmandaAn absolute nightmare to put together. Awful quality. A real lesson in you get what you pay for.
GoodEllenComfy to sit and sleep on
Not comfortable enough. Still needsAlexanderNot comfortable enough. Still needs another foam to lie on.
Not very comfortable as a sofaPaulIt was easier to put together but I am regretting the purchase as it's not a very comfortable sofa to sit on. It seems to go too far back to be able to sit on properly, even with three cushions. The metal arm-rests aren't very comfortable to lean on either.
Hammarn fold out couchJarrydSimple and easy fold out couch, great price.
Instant bedRaymondHow versatile is this sofa bed. So easy to assemble and just as easy to convert. The metal base is a space saver. The Bed itself is firm and quite comfortable. A good buy. Worth the price and great service.

Story
The speediest way from sofa to bed
Have you ever had one of those evenings where time just seemed to speed up? Somehow the clock wound forward and you've got to make the decision whether to stay or go home. That’s when sleeping arrangements usually are made and the evening is paused to pump up a mattress, or sort out a sofa. This is one of the moments the HAMMARN sofa bed was designed for. It takes 30 seconds (that's if you do it slowly) to go from sofa to bed, is lightweight and light on the wallet too. The secret: simplicity.
Sandra Johansson and Jonas Hultqvist were part of the development team. "A tight target does wonders for creativity," Sandra says. "To get the cost to where we wanted it, we realized we couldn't rely on what we'd done before, or what else was out there." Most things had to be rethought. "We were inspired by old camping beds as they're so economical in materials and need to be easy to move," Jonas says. "So we asked ourselves, could we build a sofa bed with stretch fabric like a camping bed?"
No compromise on comfort
A speedy transition
The next challenge was working out a good way to transition between sofa and bed, while keeping costs low. "We designed a mattress that could fold into 3 parts,” Sandra says. “In sofa mode you sit on two parts and have the third as a backrest. Then when you fold the bed out, you can fold the mattress out in the same way." HAMMARN quickly transforms from sofa to bed and weighs only 26 kilos. It seems sometimes simplicity is the best innovator.
