What should be considered when buying a sofa bed?

When buying a sofa bed, consider the comfort of both the seating and mattress, the ease of converting between sofa and bed, and whether the size fits your space.

The comfort of both the seat and mattress is especially important if the sofa bed will be used regularly for sleeping, and brands such as Koala, West Elm, and Joybird offer models that focus on high-density foam cushions and supportive mattresses.

Mechanisms should be easy to use, allowing you to quickly convert between sofa and bed without hassle or excessive noise.

It's also important to ensure the sofa bed fits your available space when both folded and unfolded, as dimensions can vary significantly depending on the brand and style.
