Shallow sofa bed

A shallow depth frees up floor space and makes it easier to move around the room, which is valuable in a studio, entryway, or small living room. These models often have an overall depth of around 80 to 90 cm, compared to 95 to 105 cm for a classic sofa. You maintain a real seat while gaining a few centimeters that change the perception of volume.

The usable seat depth of this selection is generally between 50 and 55 cm, which is slightly less than a deep model. It's a firm and upright seat, suitable for people of average height and those who like to sit upright rather than sinking into cushions. To get a better idea, the best thing to do is to sit on it in the store.

Yes, provided you look at the quality of the filling rather than just the depth. A seat foam with a density of around 30 to 35 kg/m3 holds up well over time and prevents the sagging effect after a few months. The more upright seat even has an advantage: it provides better back support for reading or working while sitting on the sofa.

Some do, but look at the sleeping area once opened, not the closed depth. For daily use, opt for a model designed for this purpose with a mattress of at least 13 cm and good foam density. For occasional extra sleeping, a thinner mattress will do, and the compact size remains a real asset in a guest room.

The thickness and type of mattress vary according to the models in the selection, and this criterion determines night comfort much more than the depth of the sofa. To understand the differences and choose according to your frequency of use, the simplest way is to consult our dedicated page: sofa bed mattresses.

That's exactly their purpose. By reducing the depth, you clear the passage in front of the sofa and leave room for a coffee table or an armchair. Also remember to measure the depth with the bed open, as some models extend further forward: plan for the necessary clearance in the room.

All our sofa beds arrive assembled; you don't have anything to put together. Premium delivery brings them to your home in the room of your choice, which is appreciable when space is limited and access can sometimes be narrow. Just check your passage dimensions before ordering.

Some of the covers and colors are directly visible on the product pages, and all fabrics and finishes can be discovered in-store or by phone with an advisor. For a compact format, the choice of material is doubly important: a light fabric visually enlarges the seating area, while a dark color blends it into the decor. Our 55 stores allow you to compare the renderings in real life.
