Which type of sofa bed is most comfortable?

There are two main types of sofa bed to choose from:

Click-clack sofa bed

The first is the "click-clack" sofa bed. With the sofa in its upright position, you simply fold the back down and - as the name suggests - use the clic clac mechanism to ‘click it’ flat. Et voila! You've got yourself a double mattress. Click clack sofa beds tend to be cheaper and a bit easier to convert into bed form than their more traditional counterparts.

Pull-out sofa bed

Pull-out sofa beds do tend to be more comfy than the former, but require a little more effort to assemble. You'd need to remove the cushions from the sofa to reveal a pull-out mattress and "bed" frame. Both click clack sofa beds and pull-out sofa beds come in a range of mattress sizes – from single to double – and upholstery options, to suit your interior design style.

Can I sleep on a sofa bed every night?

Unfortunately with this one, the answer is, it depends. While many of mattresses included with sofa beds don't provide buyers with ample back support, nowadays, brands like Swyft and Swoon are offering consumers mattresses that just as plush and supportive as the ones you buy for your bed. See, for instance, the Swyft Model 04 sofa bed, which features a pocket sprung mattress.

What are the benefits of a good sofa bed?

A good sofa bed, personalised to your requirements, will see you through for years to come. Whether you're shopping at sofa.com on the more affordable end of the scale or Darlings of Chelsea at the premium end, what makes a ‘good’ sofa bed isn't to do with the price but, rather, the materials. Naturally, these materials can be better quality with a higher cost, but this isn't always the case.

Our top tips:

  • In click clack beds, look to fibre fill seat cushions for a softer, more plush sleep surface.
  • In pull-out sofa beds, you'll want to keep an eye out for specialist pocket spring and memory foam mattresses.
  • Frames - the bigger your sofa bed, the bigger your mattress, so you and your guests will be more likely to enjoy an uninterrupted sleep.
  • Storage sofa beds are more likely to come in the form of a bigger sofa bed, and who doesn't love a bit of extra storage for all your spare duvets and bedding.

Is it worth getting a sofa bed?

Naturally, the answer to this question will depend on your personal situation. For instance, if you live in a five-bed property with two rooms to spare then, chances are, you're not as pressed when it comes to space for guests. That said, being able to utilise one of your spare bedrooms as a study or second living space might be on your interiors wishlist. In such cases, single and double sofa beds can be a great addition and allow for more versatility in the home.

On the flip side, if you live in a one-bed apartment, a sofa bed will be crucial. Speaking from experience, being able to give my guests an actually comfy place to rest their heads when they stay has been paramount to my hosting through the years. Not to mention it's meant I didn't need a credit broker just to pay the rent that a two-bed would require of me…

  • 4. Best supportive sofa bed

    George Corner Sofa Bed

    • Sizes - One size, LHF or RHF.
    • Upholstery options - Choice of 4 fabrics and 44 colours, plus custom design options with your fabric.

    • Average customer feedback rating - 4.8/5.

    Why we love it: Rare is it that you find an interiors brand where every step from shop to sit has been so thoroughly thought out. With Cocoon, you won't only be investing in a 2-in-1 sofa-come-bed, but one that's been designed to provide pressure relief through the night for buyers both tall and small, and one that'll offer you oodles of storage plus actually easy one-touch assembly. The George can be switched from a LHF to a RHF sofa with minimal fuss and it'll grant guests staying over a generous king size and pocket sprung mattress.

    Pros:

    • For a surcharge, you can even buy a Cocoon-brand fitted sheet, designed specifically to hug the corners of your Cocoon sofa specifically.
    • Includes not one but two under bed storage compartments.
    • Is modular and, as such, will fit through small openings and entryways.
    • Delivery prices starting from free, depending on your location and which floor of your property you'll need the product delivered to.

    Cons:

    • Factory holidays can cause delays in delivery, but this is communicated clearly and we at GLAMOUR are very pro about the idea of a healthy working culture behind the sofa manufacturing scenes.

    Customers are saying: It's sturdy, promises guests a great night's sleep and delivery was swift. It's also super comfy to sit on on the day to day and some buyers even reported their ease in getting into loft spaces. All-round happy customers.

    GLAMOUR tested review: GLAMOUR's Commerce Writer Lucy Smith says, “Not only did my delivery driver unpack the sofa on arrival to check that each piece was in tact and up to scratch but, upon assembly, I was in awe at the time in which it took me to have the full unit set up. Mere minutes, reader. While I had been informed that the sofa would be a more medium-firm feel to sleep on, in this department, too, I was pleasantly surprised. Supportive, yes, but hard? Absolutely not. The George sofa bed combines the perfect level of squish to sturdiness, keeping my body weight evenly distributed while also allowing for a slight amount of sunken slumber. All in all, from the ultra high-quality appearance, to the generous storage space, to the comfort, to the stress-free delivery (the list goes on…) this sofa bed from Cocoon has been a success from start to finish. I can't recommend it enough.”

  • 5. Best sofa bed in a box

    Swyft Model 04 Large 3 Seater Double Sofa Bed

    Specifications:

    • Sizes - One size.
    • Upholstery options - 10 options, including velvet sofa bed upholstery.
    • Product dimensions - 86cm x 208cm x 89cm.
    • Warranty - 15-year frame guarantee.
    • Delivery/lead time - 5 working days.
    • Average customer feedback rating - 5/5.

    Why we love it: Seating three people and sleeping two, Swyft's Model 04 Large three-seater double sofa bed is the best sofa bed-in-a-box on the market. Stocked on John Lewis, it's available in seven different upholstery options – from this chic vine velvet to brick velvet or pumice linen. When it comes to design, this sofa bed is stylish and contemporary – particularly in the velvet upholstery options – and the fabric itself is woven with stain-resistant threads which make it easy to wipe down. No more worrying about any accidental spills or stains.

    Pros:

    • Swyft's sofa bed is comfortable (albeit a tad firm) and it has an integrated storage compartment to store bedding or whatever else you need to stash away.
    • It comes flat-packed in four different sections. This makes it the perfect choice if you live up a flight of stairs, or want to assemble your sofa bed on the first floor.
    • Swyft now make additional footstool modules to add onto your purchase, so you can move your sofa bed into whatever configuration best suits your space.
    • Continuing to sing its praises, it comes with one of the best mattresses for a sofa bed – it's pocket sprung!

    Cons:

    • You do have to assemble this sofa bed yourself, but it's pretty simple. So simple, in fact, that you don't need any tools. You've got the “Swyft-lok” locking mechanism to thank for that.

    Customers are saying: Really comfy, removable arms are handy and it's so easy to put together.

    GLAMOUR tested review: GLAMOUR's Commerce Writer Mayola Fernandes says, “After putting together this sofa alongside just one other person and enjoying its comfort for several months, I'm truly impressed by its quality. The assembly process was surprisingly simple; you don't have to be a DIY expert at all. Plus, the pocket sprung mattress is perfect for both sitting and sleeping. My only reservation is the steep price tag; otherwise, I'd be absolutely thrilled! Nevertheless, it's undeniably a worthwhile investment that justifies its cost.”

  • 6. Best affordable sofa bed

    Hudson Click Clack Sofa Bed

    Specifications:

    • Sizes - One size.
    • Upholstery options - 2 fabric sofa bed options, upholstered in velvet or linen look material.
    • Product dimensions - 206cm x 80.5cm x 86.5cm
    • Warranty - No mention in brand t&cs.
    • Delivery/lead time - No free delivery, £12.99 fee for arrival within 3-7 working days.
    • Average customer feedback rating - 4/5.

    Why we love it: A best-selling sofa bed thanks to its competitive price point and stylish sofa appearance, Dusk’s Hudson click clack design settee makes for a minimalist guest bed, not to mention providing 3 seats for everyday use.

    Pros:

    • Boasts a more luxe and high-end offering than its similarly priced competitors, Wayfair, and Amazon.
    • For 2-in-1 spare room sofas-come-guest beds, the underneath visibility afforded by the delicate metal legs creates the illusion of extra floor space around its surrounding bedroom furniture. A good choice for modest-size rooms.

    Cons:

    • Click clack mechanism means you’ll need to pull the sofa out in order to access the sleeping surface.
    • While you can return the product in its original packaging within 28 days, this does mean you won’t be able to trial the product, nor will you have the opportunity to see it in-store. That said, customers on the whole are pleased with the product.

    Customers are saying: Comfortable, looks just as pictured, and is easy to set up.

    GLAMOUR tested review: GLAMOUR's Commerce Writer, Denise Primbet says - “This 3-seater sofa bed (which, by the way, I've without-hassle been using as a 4 seater) is constantly going in and out of stock and it's absolutely no surprise. From the enviable design to the plush fibre filling, I've thoroughly enjoyed this sofa's addition into my living room, so much so that my husband and I have been fighting over who has to sit on our old (hard as nails) chaise sofa. Plus, for the price? I'm seriously tempted to buy another for our home office-come-spare room.”

    Pros:

    • Product dimensions - 84cm x 251cm x 152cm.
    • Warranty - Includes 15-year frame guarantee.
    • Delivery/lead time - 12 weeks.
    • Average customer feedback rating - 3.25/5.

    Why we love it: Sure, this corner sofa bed is a bit of an investment...but it's a pretty faultless piece of furniture, making the heftier price tag justified. During the day, it's a gorgeously firm family-sized sofa with more than enough space for three adults.

    Pros:

    • If you've got guests to stay, it converts into a large double bed with very little effort. You simply pull out the drawer which is hidden nicely under the two-seater section of the sofa, and up pops a mattress.
    • Includes drawers for storing blankets and bedding. Genius.

    Cons:

    • It's pretty firm, and some reviewers reported that they needed to buy a bespoke mattress topper to fit the sleeping space.
    • Extended 12-week delivery time (plus the potential for extra given current delays).

    Customers are saying: Sofa cushions are plush and comfy, and the hidden storage is a great addition.

    • Upholstery options - 101.
    • Product dimensions - 94 x 168 x 102cm.
    • Warranty - Lifetime.
    • Delivery/lead time - 4-6 weeks.
    • Average customer feedback rating - 4.5/5.

    Why we love it: Available in four sizes, the Otto sofa bed comes in a plethora of upholstery options, from breezy white linen, to crisp sage green cotton, and rich blue velvet. While it's an investment piece, it's one of the most versatile picks in our edit as the feather wrapped cushions come with removable covers that can easily be swapped out for a different style if you want to switch up your scheme.

    Pros:

    • You can refresh the covers with new styles whenever you like so it's a great option if you want the flexibility of switching up your decor without having to invest in new big-ticket furniture.

  • 14. Best daybed sofa bed for occasional use

    John Lewis Duplet Daybed

    Specifications:

    • Sizes - One size.
    • Upholstery options - 134 to choose from.
    • Product dimensions - 48cm x 203cm x 76cm.
    • Warranty - 15-year frame guarantee.
    • Delivery/lead time - 14 weeks.
    • Average customer feedback rating - 3.25/5.

    Why we love it: If you ask us, this daybed from John Lewis would look smashing in a hallway as a spot for putting shoes, hats and scarves on. If you can't accept all the moving of the bed (from the hallway to your desired sleep destination etc) that would likely come as part and parcel of that suggestion, that's totally understandable, so why not let the interest free credit payment plan twist your arm instead…

    Pros:

    • Even though it's a fold-away daybed and comes in at under £1,000, the scatter cushions are a well-noted and appreciated added touch.
    • John Lewis' interest free credit scheme to spread the cost is approved by the financial conduct authority.

    Cons:

    • When folded out as a bed, the beds will unfortunately have a seam between them, something which a similar style fold-up futon mattress would not.
    • Long 14-week delivery.

    Customers are saying: Comfortable to sleep on, guests are always impressed and it's great for use as a double or, equally, two singles.
