Buying a sofa bed for your home is not only a good investment, but it can save the day. Sofa beds are perfect for when you have unexpected guests show up, or your in-laws decide to visit, as they can turn your living room into a comfortable place to sleep in moments. Sofa beds come in a wide range of different styles, shapes and colours so there will always be one to suit your personal style. We advise you to measure your space before you take the plunge though, you’ll need to make sure you will have enough room to pull out the bed without it bashing into any other furniture you may have. We’ve compiled a list of the best sofa beds so you can find one that is comfy to lounge on in the day but super comfortable to sleep on at night.

Sofa beds have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. You can now find a good sofa bed that looks good, is comfortable to sit and sleep on, and that will fit your space no matter the size. The Vonanda is our top pick for a very good reason. We love how versatile this piece of furniture is. Not only does it fold out to be a super comfy sofa bed but can also be used as a chair, ottoman and lounger. The backrest has 5 adjustable levels so whether you’re sitting or lying down, it’s so comfortable, we are not sure your guests will want to leave. 

The Bergen corner sofa by Honeypot is another one of our favourites. It would be best if you had a lot of room to fit this six-seater sofa in, but it will transform your living room into an amazing place to rest, relax and sleep. It also has a spacious storage area and adjustable armrests so you can choose your own ideal level of comfort. It’s also really well designed, and the upholstery is soft and luxurious. A definite must for a big family or if you like to have a lot of space.
