You’d like your guests to rest on a proper bed for the night when they sleep over.

Foam beds tend to lose their shape with time and are not suitable for long term use. Convertible ones resemble conventional couches and offer much more in comfort and style. Mattresses are built in with inner springs.

The upholstery of the bed could range from cotton to polyester cushions. Some beds come as two or three seater couches whilst others are L-shaped to maximise corners. The latter converts into a large rectangular bed that is suitable for guests and householders alike.

Tips for Selecting the Perfect Bed

Size. Consider if you want a mattress that’s single, twin or Queen. Contemporary designs are excellent both for their aesthetic appeal and their space saving grace.

Strength. Unbraced or stapled joints will easily loosen and cause the bed to wobble.
Comfort. Remove the cushions from the bed and examine the underlying structure. If you see any wood, the bed won’t be comfortable.

Durability. Inner springs will last longer than foam. Sofa beds are an ideal alternative to the traditional settee teamed with two armchairs. Their dual use as a sitting and sleeping area save you money when you’re on a tight budget with limited living space.
