What is the most comfortable convertible sofa?

Looking for a comfortable sofa bed to save space while still enjoying optimal sleeping comfort? A convertible sofa bed will meet your comfort needs regardless of the space available in your home: whether you're in a studio apartment or a house, you're sure to find what you need for a simple and comfortable bed.

Who says a convertible sofa bed can't be a comfortable, space-saving piece of furniture for your home? Today, a convertible sofa bed can meet the same high-quality standards as a comfortable king-size bed. No more restless nights with substandard bedding. We'll give you the best advice for choosing a convertible sofa that's as stylish as it is comfortable.

The best comfort: BZ type benches, sofa beds or sofas?

It all depends on your needs: all three sofa bed models can be perfectly suitable! But there are more interesting alternatives depending on your situation.

The BZ sofa, the space-saving solution on a small budget

A BZ convertible sofa is a bed that folds like an accordion. This type of sofa gets its name from its folded shape: three sections that form a Z.

The BZ sofa bed is the most compact convertible that takes up the least amount of space in your home. It's also very easy to use: in just a few simple steps, you can pull it towards you to open it thanks to its opening system. Best of all, it's very easy to transport your BZ sofa bed thanks to its caster legs.

The model comes with a mattress attached to the bed base with Velcro, a zippered cover to ensure the mattress is protected. If you are looking to purchase a sofa bed for your studio, student accommodation or a room with limited space, we recommend the inexpensive and practical choice of the BZ sofa bed.

The click clack, the occasional space-saving solution

The clic clac sofa bed, on the other hand, opens in two once you pull it towards you. This model is simpler and much less expensive than a BZ sofa bed. However, this bedding is not intended for everyday sleeping. It's more for occasional sleeping as a backup.

Indeed, the quality of the mattress provided is often mid-range. That's why we recommend purchasing this sofa model for occasional use. However, you can also opt for a higher-quality mattress, but this will cost you more.

Perhaps in a situation where you have space and are looking for optimal comfort, you should opt for a comfortable sofa bed.

The convertible sofa bed: the ultimate choice for comfort

The convertible sofa, or sofa bed, is a very practical space-saving piece of furniture that was created and patented by Albert Ducrot in 1954. This sofa model allows you to optimize the space in your interior while giving it a touch of uniqueness.

The convertible sofa bed is suitable for people looking for high-quality daily sleeping and who have more space: convertible sofas come in different sizes depending on your needs:

• The standard convertible sofa : this sofa bed is very comfortable to accommodate between 1 and 2 people
• A convertible corner sofa is a sofa bed that can accommodate up to 3 people.
• A straight convertible sofa for occasional sleeping and welcoming guests into your living room.

It's up to you to choose the model of your convertible sofa, but remember that buying a convertible sofa is not only based on the space you have in your home. It also depends on the style of decoration you want in your house or studio. So look carefully at other data such as the colors, the accessories available on convertible sofa beds (unlike the clic clac and the BZ sofa bed) to make them more aesthetic.

Please note, however, that it's better to have a very good sofa bed or sofa bed than a poor sofa bed. Don't hesitate to discuss your needs with our in-store teams.

Optimizing your comfort: how to position the sofa bed correctly?

There are several strategic placements for arranging your sofa bed in your interior:

Place your sofa bed in a corner

Placing your sofa bed in a corner allows you to fill unused spaces in your home. Buying a sofa bed is often considered for smaller living rooms.

This solution is often used in smaller living rooms with two windows between them. This provides a pleasant amount of light, but also fills in the gaps in the living room. A simple 2- or 3-seater sofa is recommended for this type of arrangement. A corner sofa would be unsuitable because it would hide one of the living room's two windows.

Place your sofa bed near a window

There's nothing better than enjoying your sofa bed near a light source! It's actually a good idea, especially if you have a nice view: you'll be able to enjoy the view from your sofa bed, facing your window, with real seating comfort. Are you overlooked or have a poor view? Don't panic! You can still place your sofa bed with your back to your window to relax in your living room, which benefits from a light source.

How to position your sofa bed when you don't have space?

Do you have limited space in your home or studio to install your sofa bed? You can place your comfortable sofa bed in a location that wasn't originally intended. For example, if you have a staircase in your home leading to a second floor, you can install your sofa bed under it to maximize your space.

Still don't have enough usable space in your room? Enjoy the benefits of a comfortable sofa bed with a storage compartment! Indeed, there are categories of convertible sofas that offer storage space in addition to the bedding system. With these sofa bed models, you can get rid of a bulky piece of furniture and replace it with your comfortable sofa bed! Adding a storage compartment to your sofa is one of the most interesting technologies for saving space in your living space.

Alternatives to the convertible sofa

It's always practical to have an extra bed, whether you're hosting family from afar or spending the evening with friends visiting your home.

But sometimes, you don't necessarily have the option to purchase a sofa bed. Know that many high-end alternatives are available to you to choose the equivalent of a sofa bed!

The inflatable mattress

An air mattress is an excellent extra bed. Many people opt for this type of product: inexpensive, comfortable for high-end models and very easy to store, many companies and several stores have become specialists in these models. Ideal for small spaces or a small bedroom. To choose your air mattress well, we recommend thick models. Finally, depending on your frequency of use, you can choose a high-end inflatable sofa with an electric pump to quickly inflate and deflate your product!

The convertible bed chair

A comfortable extra bed, the convertible sofa bed is an excellent sofa bed for quality everyday sleeping. This selection of products is a multifunctional solution that will adapt to all types of homes and spaces: living room, bedroom, office, etc. The inflatable convertible sofa bed is a high-quality offer for enjoying a beautiful sleeping experience that will have nothing to envy with the characteristics of a convertible sofa. As discreet as a clothes dryer but as comfortable as an extra bed, the convertible sofa bed unfolds in a few seconds thanks to an ultra-simple opening system.

The folding bed on wheels

A little more comfortable than a low-end sofa, the folding bed is very easy to move thanks to its casters and the space it takes up when folded. Indeed, you can easily store it in a closet or against a wall without it encroaching on the space in your home. The only problem, due to its practical and compact nature, is that it is not necessarily intended for people with a large body type or for two people. We recommend this alternative to the convertible sofa for an extra bed for a single person with a standard body type.

The futon

The futon is a much more comfortable product than other types of low-end beds and sofas that can be found on the market. Indeed, it outperforms the camp bed or even the classic bed, while remaining a very good way to save space. The futon bed is a product for small rooms such as a bedroom, a small studio, or an office. The firmness of this bed is very firm, making its sleeping comfort a little less attractive than an inflatable mattress, for example. However, if you prefer hard spaces to sleep, we recommend the advantages of a futon bed for occasional or daily use.

Sofa bed or extra bed? A sofa bed with a good mattress is likely to be more comfortable, but if you don't use your extra bed every day, this solution will be sufficient.

The different models of convertible sofas

Among this jungle of convertible sofas on offer, we must offer you a selection of convertible sofa beds that you absolutely must consider if you want to sleep well:

The corner sofa bed

The convertible corner sofa offers the same advantages as the sofa bed. The only difference is that you benefit from an additional seat, even if someone else sleeps on your sofa. Indeed, thanks to your convertible corner sofa, an additional seat is stored in the sofa's return. This gives you an additional seating space for 1 to 3 people compared to a standard sofa bed. This option is more suitable for a living room than another room in your house or apartment due to its size.

The pull-out sofa bed

A trundle sofa bed is a bed with an additional sleeping area or storage compartment located at the bottom. Its easy-opening system allows you to open your trundle sofa bed without any hassle: pull out the drawer so the bed extends from the sofa seat. Some trundle bed brands offer a storage compartment instead of a second bed to save space in your room. This is ideal for studio apartments or children's and teenagers' bedrooms, for example.

The convertible daybed

A chaise longue brings more than just a touch of design to your living room! This type of sofa bed undeniably adds character to the room in which you place it. However, the chaise longue has been able to adapt to other convertible products and is available for daily or occasional sleeping. Small or large, this designer convertible sofa offers high-quality seating and sleeping. A convertible chaise longue retains its asymmetry while being able to unfold to sleep up to 2 people.
