What is the typical lifespan of a sofa bed’s mechanism?

The typical lifespan of a sofa bed's mechanism in America is about 3 to 10 years, with brands like Koala, IKEA, and Ashley Furniture offering mechanisms that typically last within this range.

The longevity of a sofa bed’s mechanism depends on factors like usage frequency, material quality, and maintenance.

Mechanisms in higher-quality and less frequently used models can last closer to 10 years. Mechanisms in budget or heavily used sofa beds may start to wear out after just a few years.

For instance, modern furniture brands like Koala, IKEA, and Ashley Furniture use durable materials and simplified mechanisms, which can help maximize the usable lifespan of their sofa beds.
