Meet The Sofa Bed That Might Actually Be Comfier Than Your Actual Bed

Sofa beds have never had the easiest reputation. For years, they’ve been the practical choice, never the stylish or comfortable one. A back-up for guests rather than a piece you’d actually want to curl up on yourself.

But, our sofa beds are changing that story. Meet two of our highest performers, according to Ideal Home and The Times.

Meet the Model 08 Sofa Bed

The Model 08 sofa bed is one of the most comfortable sofa beds you’ll find (trust us), and it looks every bit as good as it feels. Upholstered in over 24 of our signature fabrics, Model 08 is a modern sofa bed that’s designed to blend seamlessly into your living space as a sofa first.

Pull away the cushions, unfold it into bed mode, and you have a spacious double that might be more comfortable than your own bed. Ideal Home certainly think so, naming it one of the most impressive sofa beds they’ve tested.

What makes Model 08 stand out is the way it moves between sofa and bed with ease. In sofa mode, it’s your go-to spot for lounging with a book, binge watching your favourite shows, or catching up over a coffee with friends. Style it with textured cushions, and cosy throw draped across the back, and the soft glow of a floor lamp in the corner, and voila - you’ve created the perfect night-in setup.

Switch it up into bed mode and it’s an entirely different experience. The optional mattress topper takes the comfort level up even further, creating a sleep space that you and your guests will rave about. This is where it feels different from the sofa beds of days gone by: No lumpy mattresses, no squeaky frames, just a really comfortable night’s sleep.

Honourable mention: Model 04

The Model 04 sofa bed offers the same balance of function and style, but in a larger format. It’s a 3-seater sofa bed that folds out into a UK double bed, complete with a 300-pocket sprung mattress. Recognised by The Telegraph as one of the best sofa beds for sitting and sleeping, it’s designed for homes where space needs to work just a little bit harder.

It’s as versatile as it is practical. The removable arms are an innovative detail, making delivery and assembly super simple, even in apartments or period homes with narrow hallways.

Styling your space with a sofa bed

Part of what makes sofa beds like the Model 08 and Model 04 so special is that they don’t need to be hidden away in a spare room. They’re designed to sit proudly in your living space, styled just as you would a regular sofa.

Think tactile cushions in layered tones, a soft throw for added texture, and a side table that keeps your favourite drink close to hand. A coffee table anchors the room, whilst table lamps and floor lamps create a cosy atmosphere when the evening draws in. Pair it with an occasional chair or armchair to complete the room, and introduce a large storage ottoman to store the bedding.

Why your living room could become your favourite bedroom

Sofa beds used to be the furniture equivalent of “good enough”. Now they can be the most comfortable and stylish piece in your home. The Model 08 and Model 04 alone prove that the best sofa beds can deliver on every level.

So yes, you might just find that your new sofa bed really is comfier than your actual bed. And once you've stretched out onto one, you may spend your days longing to crawl into your sofa bed when you get home.
