What material and thickness for ideal comfort for your sofa bed?

The mattress is one of the key elements of your sofa bed's comfort. A sofa bed with a thick mattress can be made from different materials and its thickness can vary from 6 to 20 cm. So, compare mattresses to ensure optimal comfort night after night.

Choosing the right material for your clic clac mattress

In terms of materials, the sofa bed mattress must absolutely withstand the stress of folding. You should also choose dense materials to prevent the mattress from sagging at the seat. High-resilience foam is a wise choice because it's inexpensive and durable. With memory foam, you'll enjoy superior comfort.

Latex, on the other hand, is viscoelastic and therefore also suitable. The ultimate mattress choice remains Bultex. Bultex mattresses are highly comfortable, and some have amazing heat and moisture management properties, or are formulated to reduce the risk of allergies.

Choosing the right thickness for your sofa bed mattress

Another criterion for choosing a good sofa bed mattress is its thickness. A cheap sofa bed will generally be made of foam and not very thick. It will offer little comfort and will deteriorate quickly. A mattress intended for sleeping, ensuring minimum comfort, should be between 10 and 12 centimeters thick.

And, for everyday sleeping, you will need to opt for a mattress from 14 cm. One of the advantages of the clic clac compared to the rapido sofa or the Bz bench is that the thickness of the mattress is not limited, so take advantage of this to improve your comfort with a sufficiently thick mattress.

The base of your sofa bed, another essential element of comfort

The sofa bed mattress rests on a slatted base. The comfort of your sofa bed can also vary greatly depending on the thickness of the slats or their spacing. It is therefore important that the bed base/mattress combination is perfectly balanced for quality sleep, especially on a sofa bed used daily.
