Shopping for Sofa Beds? Read This First

Battling the Stereotypes About Sofa Beds

Today’s modern options are much better, but it all depends on the level of craftsmanship and the materials used.

Most sofa beds tend to offer a firmer cushion on the sofa for seating purposes, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t cozy and inviting. Models with extra built-in features like additional ottomans or pull-out extensions for extra legroom deliver comfort in surprising ways.

Why sit in front of the TV when you can lounge using your new sofa bed?

There’s a Difference Between Cheap and Good Value

Not every type of sofa bed will make your life easy and carefree. There are good deals to be had on sofa beds (especially at Q Living Furniture), but before you whip out your credit card, you’ll want to be aware of the quality you’re purchasing.

Here are a few things to keep in mind while browsing.

Measure the Space You Have Before You Shop

Regarding your new furniture purchase, a few inches here and there will make a big difference when the product arrives at your home. Measure the size of the room you’re shopping for beforehand. A simple floor plan of the room with dimensions can make the selection process much easier. If you visit a store where the staff includes interior design consultants (like Q Living Furniture), you’ll receive expert advice. You want a sofa bed that allows for a good flow of movement wherever it is positioned within your home.

Test It Out

Pull out the bed and return it to its sofa position. You’ll want to do this a couple of times. Avoid purchasing sofa beds that are difficult to unfold or put away. Watch out for a folding mechanism that can potentially snag and damage any bedding.

Look for a Solid Frame

What’s Out There?

If you’re looking for an example of what’s out there, Q Living Furniture is a great place to start. Just as sofas differ in style, so do sofa beds.

The Pamina Sectional

If you’re going to invest in a sofa bed, why not go for the one that has it all: comfort, style, and plenty of function, whether it’s folded out or tucked back into sofa mode.

This sectional sofa is a Swiss Army Knife of comfort and convenience. It combines everything you could ask for in a sofa bed with the added utility of a love seat, chaise, and separate ottomans.

It’s a cleverly chic seating unit with padded stools, adjustable headrests, hidden storage for cushions, and a pull-out drawer bed that blends into the unit when not in use.

Style, storage, and versatile organization define the Pamina Sectional. If you require extra seating or a place for your guest to crash for the night (but you don’t have much extra space), the Pamina Sectional is the sofa bed for you.
