Sofa beds & futons

Sofa beds make for comfortable nap time, movie nights and overnight guests

IKEA offers sofa beds in various styles and sizes to accommodate all budgets, needs and spaces. Many people purchase a sofa bed so they have extra sleeping space for when family and friends are visiting, but quickly find themselves using it all the time!

• Have a hard time getting your little one to settle down for a midday snooze, even though they’ll feel better with some rest? Unfold or pull out the bed of your sleeper sofa for them to get comfortable while reading or watching TV before nap time.
• Once your child has grown out of their mid-day naps and is making friends in elementary school, single sofa beds are a perfect solution for sleepovers. Even if they do stay up all night playing video games or telling scary stories, they’ll be a lot more comfortable than they would on the floor!
• For parents of teenagers, futons can come in handy for planned or unexpected overnight guests. Sudden snowstorm and your kid’s friend—who just got their license—is visiting? A sofa bed gives them a comfortable place to sleep without risking the roads.

A sofa bed helps maximize space in a condo apartment

While space is a precious commodity in nearly any apartment, the lack of separation for a classic bedroom presents some unique challenges. Many condo apartment dwellers who want to maintain space for plants, pets or simply stretching out find that having both a bed and sofa simply isn’t practical. Luckily, with a sofa bed with storage you don’t have to choose between a cramped space, sitting on the bed or sleeping on the couch. You can have your bed, sofa and storage space with the right multitasking sofa sensation! 

Comfortable futons and sleeper sofas

If your space is limited, fitting both a sofa and a bed in your room could be difficult. In those cases, a sleeper sofa could be the solution you need. Just remember, if your sleeper sofa is going to be your primary bed, comfort will be essential.

Luckily, we offer futons and sleeper sofas that let you use a futon mattress – so you can get just the sleeping conditions you like. Choose the firmness, softness and support of your mattress just like you’d do with any regular bed.

What is a futon and why should you consider one?

A futon is a versatile piece of furniture that can easily transform from a sofa to a bed. Originating from traditional Japanese bedding, modern futons provide a practical solution for those who need a convertible sofa bed without compromising on style or comfort. Whether you're furnishing a studio apartment or need an extra sleeping option for guests, a futon bed offers the flexibility you need. The ability to switch between a seating area and a sleeping space makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to maximize their living area.

What are the benefits of choosing a futon over a traditional sofa or bed?

Choosing a futon over a traditional sofa or bed comes with several benefits. Firstly, futons are incredibly space-efficient, making them perfect for small apartments or multifunctional rooms. They offer the convenience of a convertible sofa bed, allowing you to switch between a seating area and a sleeping space effortlessly. This makes them ideal for accommodating overnight guests without the need for a separate guest room.

Additionally, futons are often more affordable and easier to move than traditional sofas and beds, making them a practical choice for those who frequently relocate or enjoy rearranging their living space.
