Reviews
GoodAnonymous reviewerIt was quite easy to put together, the instructions were clear.
Its not that comfortable to sit on as the back is very hard. We use it as lounger in the bedroom.
The bed is ok as a occasional guest bed, its a good size, the mattress is firm, but comfortable. I wouldn't recommend it for long term use, or if you prefer a softer mattress.
Does the jobAnonymous reviewerGreat style and design but as a bed the mattress is very hard….you’ll need to use a topper
Such a good designAnonymous reviewerEasy to put together and so simple to put out and away, storage is a bonus can fit a mattress topper two pillows and a double duvet in so everything where you need it! Was after a full size double but was really limited on width. This fit the space perfect and from initial test seems comfy both as a bed and sofa. Will be for occasional use so can’t comment on how it will hold up.
Basic sofa bed Anonymous reviewerOdd opening from the middle of the sofa to access the drawer. This means if we use it as bed one can’t just lift the side to bring out the pillows.
First sofa was not aligning to the holes. So had to be in the phone and request new one.
Sofa bed Anonymous reviewerComfortable, affordable and versatile. This sofa ticks every box.
Looks fabAnonymous reviewerReally comfy as sofa and bed especially with mattress topper - great to have storage too…only issue is it is heavy and difficult to move upstairs but once up in spare room it is very simple to turn in to a bed!
SofabedAnonymous reviewerExcellent sofabed for my small spare room. Delivery was very good too.
Rock hard sleeping surfaceAnonymous reviewerComfortable enough as a sofa, but rock hard to sleep on. Storage under seat is useful for bedding. I will need to add a mattress topper to make it tolerable for sleeping.
One side piece of plywood cracked along back edge of base, but far too cumbersome and heavy to return to store. Doesn't currently affect functionality though might affect longevity.
Very soft springsAnonymous reviewerWe bought 2 of these sofas just a few months ago but in just 3 weeks the middle section started to get soft making sleeping on it very unpleasant.
Fit for purpose Anonymous reviewerBeen using for 2+years
Pros
Easy to assemble
Easy to convert into a bed
Has good storage space
Seating section is adequately cushioned and feels firm
Pillows are firm
Cons
Back rest is not adequately cushioned so feels a bit hard.
Leaves water marks when cleaned
Tip
Best to cover with a mattress topper or blankets when converted into bed to feel more comfy
Quick and easy to convert.Anonymous reviewerWe bought this to go into an office space as an occasional bed. It converts very easily with one hand and is light. It has enough storage space for a duvet and pillows underneath. As a sofa is very firm and looks quite basic so I don't think I'd want to use it regularly in a main room but it's perfect for our use.
Practical sofaAnonymous reviewerComfortable and practical sofa bed
Great for occasional useAnonymous reviewerHaving used the sofa bed a couple of times now for guests sleeping over. As others have mentioned it is very firm but we have alleviated this by using a thick mattress topper. The sofa is used in a home office and is great to use as somewhere to sit for breaks from work. The dog loves sitting on it too!
Comfy sofa and OK occasional bedAnonymous reviewerVery comfortable as a sofa and fine as a bed but a little firm. Easy assembly
Very good productAnonymous reviewerI spent literally years looking for something with hard mattress. Impossible. Sleeping on soft one makes me a back pain in just couple of nights. This is perfect. Small and compact so fits in small spaces. Easy to clean below. Option to hide bedding inside. Highly recommend.
