BEST FOR DEEP SLEEP

Charlie Corner Sofa Bed from Cocoon

Designed to be ‘the bed for every room’, Cocoon’s collection includes the spacious Charlie Corner Sofa Bed. A king size mattress hidden inside a contemporary sofa, what makes Cocoon unique is their deeper, pocket-sprung mattress which is built into every sofa bed – promising as much comfort as a real bed. Alongside this, the Charlie is a modular design (meaning it is delivered in smaller, easy to manoeuvre boxes) with built-in storage, a reversible chaise - allowing it to be switched easily from left to right - and it is easy to open & close with its one-touch opening system. What’s not to like?

BEST FOR STYLE

Helston Loveseat Sofa Bed from Darlings of Chelsea

Classic styling meets sumptuous deep seating and an incredible choice of 170 fabrics, with the Helston Loveseat Sofa Bed from Darlings of Chelsea. Handmade by expert craftspeople in the UK, the Loveseat is bigger than an armchair but slightly smaller than a compact sofa, making it ideal for homes limited on space. Snuggle up as a two on the sofa or open up into a sofa bed for one with a thick 12cm pocket-sprung mattress – which is standard on all their sofa beds. The traditional design is a perfect addition for both period properties and modern apartments, so why not add it to your home?

BEST FOR MINIMALISM

Japandi Contemporary 3 Seater Sofa Bed by La Redoute

An ideal option for smaller homes and narrow hallways, the Japandi Contemporary 3 Seater Sofa Bed from La Redoute is delivered in one easy and uncomplicated box. A contemporary design with sleek lines, curved arms and mid-century splayed legs, the sofa bed is thoughtfully designed with a click-action mechanism - turning it from sofa to bed with only a few simple steps. Plus, there is integrated storage included underneath.

BEST FOR LUXURY

Athena Woven Floral Sofa Bed from Anthropologie

Certainly one of the most decadent looking sofa beds we’ve ever seen, this stunning Athena Woven Floral Sofa Bed from Anthropologie is the epitome of cosy granny-chic. With eye-catching woven upholstery, birch wood legs and curved sloped arms, the design hides an easy to pull-out king size bed. Whilst not modular in design, so perhaps not suitable for smaller homes, it certainly makes up for it with style. A true statement piece in any home.

BEST FOR AFFORDABILITY

Monty Velvet Sofa Bed from Homescapes

For those of you with smaller spaces to fill, the Monty Velvet Sofa Bed from Homescapes is easily transformed into a single bed in no time at all. At home in a living room, spare bedroom or home office, the sofa bed boasts a bold olive-green fabric, super soft velvet and chrome metal legs. Its simple design includes a click-clack mechanism which clicks the backrest into a horizontal position – plus, for extra comfort, the armrests are also removeable.
