What is the most comfortable convertible sofa?

Do you want to benefit from a comfortable convertible sofa to save space while enjoying optimal sleeping? The convertible sofa bed will allow you to meet this need for comfort regardless of the space available in your interior: whether you are in a studio or in a house, you will inevitably find your need for simple and cozy sleeping.

Who said that the convertible sofa bed couldn't be a comfortable space-saving piece of furniture for your home? Today, a convertible sofa bed can have the same quality standards as a cozy king size bed. No more restless nights of sleep with a low-end bedding. We will give you the best advice for choosing your convertible sofa that is as stylish as it is comfortable.

The best comfort: BZ type benches, sofa bed or sofa?

It all depends on your needs: the three models of sofa beds can be perfectly suitable! But alternatives are more interesting depending on your situation.

The BZ bench, the space-saving solution on a low budget

A BZ convertible sofa is a foldable accordion bed. Furthermore, this type of sofa takes its name from the shape it has when folded: 3 parts are shaped like a Z.

The BZ sofa bed is the most compact convertible that takes up the least space in your home. In addition, it is very easy to use: in no time, you can pull it towards you to open it thanks to its opening system. The icing on the cake: it is very easy to transport your BZ sofa bed with its caster feet.

The model is delivered with a mattress attached to the box spring with Velcro fasteners, a zipped cover to guarantee protection of the mattress. If you wish to purchase a sofa bed for your studio, student accommodation or a room with little space, we recommend the inexpensive and practical choice of the BZ sofa bed.

The click clack, the occasional space-saving solution

The sofa bed opens in two once you pull it towards us. This model is simpler and much less expensive than a BZ sofa bed. On the other hand, this bedding is not intended for daily sleeping. We are more on an occasional bed to help out.

Indeed, the quality of the mattress provided is often mid-range. This is why we advise you to buy this sofa model for occasional use. But you can also opt to buy a higher quality mattress but it will cost you more.

Perhaps in a situation where you have space and are looking for optimal comfort, you will have to choose a comfortable convertible sofa.

The convertible sofa bed: the choice of ultimate comfort

The convertible sofa, or sofa bed, is a very practical space-saving piece of furniture that was created and patented by Albert Ducrot in 1954. This sofa model allows you to optimize the space in your interior while giving it a touch of singularity.

The convertible sofa bed is suitable for people who are looking for high-quality daily sleeping and who have more space: convertible sofas come in different sizes depending on your needs:

• The standard convertible sofa : this sofa bed is very comfortable to accommodate between 1 and 2 people
• A convertible corner sofa is a sofa bed that can accommodate up to 3 places
• A straight convertible sofa for occasional sleeping and welcoming your guests in your living room.

It's up to you to choose the model of your convertible sofa, but remember that purchasing a convertible sofa does not only depend on the space you have in your home. It also depends on the style of decoration you want in your home or studio. So look at many other data such as the colors, the accessories available on the convertible sofa beds (unlike the sofa bed and the BZ bench) to make them more aesthetic.

Be careful, however, note that it is better to have a very good bz or sofa bed, rather than a bad convertible sofa. Do not hesitate to discuss your needs with our in-store teams.

Optimize your comfort: how to properly place the sofa bed?

There are several strategic placements for placing your convertible sofa in your interior:

Place your convertible sofa in a corner

When you position your convertible sofa in a corner, it allows you to fill the unfurnished spaces in your interior. Purchasing a convertible sofa is often considered for smaller living rooms.

This solution is often used in slightly smaller living rooms between 2 windows. This provides a pleasant supply of light, but also fills the gaps in the living room. A simple 2 or 3 seater sofa is therefore recommended for this type of arrangement. Indeed, a corner sofa would be unsuitable because it would hide one of the 2 windows in the living room.

Place your convertible sofa near a window

Nothing better than enjoying your convertible sofa near a light source! It's actually a good idea, especially if you have a beautiful view: you can enjoy the view from your convertible sofa, facing your window, with real seating comfort. Do you have a view or a poor view? Do not panic ! You can still place your convertible sofa with its back to your window to relax in your living room which benefits from a source of light.

How to place your convertible sofa when you don't have space?

Do you have little space in your house or studio to install your convertible sofa? You can put your comfortable sofa bed in a place that was not originally usable. For example, if you have a staircase in your house leading to a second floor, you can install your convertible sofa under it to optimize your space.

You still don't have usable space in your room? Enjoy the benefits of the comfortable sofa bed with storage box! Indeed, there are categories of convertible sofas which offer storage space in addition to the bedding system. With these sofa bed models, you can get rid of a piece of furniture that is too bulky and replace it with your comfortable sofa bed! The storage box in addition to your sofa is one of the most interesting technologies for saving space in your living space.

Alternatives to the convertible sofa

It is always practical to have an extra bed, to accommodate family from far away or to spend the evening with friends visiting your home.

But sometimes, you don't necessarily have the opportunity to purchase a convertible sofa. Please note that many high-end alternatives are available to choose the equivalent of a convertible sofa!

The inflatable mattress

The inflatable mattress is an excellent extra bed. Many people opt for this type of product: inexpensive, comfortable for high-end models and very easy to store, many companies and several stores have become specialists in these models. Ideal for small spaces or a small bedroom. To choose your inflatable mattress carefully, we recommend thick models. Finally, depending on your frequency of use, you can take a high-end inflatable sofa with an electric pump to quickly inflate and deflate your product!

The convertible bedside chair

Comfortable extra bed, the convertible chair is an excellent sofa bed in terms of quality daily sleeping. This selection of products is a multifunctional one that will adapt to all types of housing and spaces: living room, bedroom, office... The convertible inflatable heater is a high quality offer to enjoy a beautiful sleeping experience that does not will have nothing to envy with the characteristics of a convertible sofa. As discreet as a tumble dryer but as comfortable as extra bedding, the convertible bed warmer deploys in a few seconds thanks to an ultra-simple opening system.

The folding bed on wheels

A little more comfortable than a low-end sofa, the folding bed is very easy to move thanks to its casters and the space it takes up when folded. In fact, you can easily store it in a cupboard or against a wall without taking up space in your home. The only problem is that, due to its practical and compact side, it is not necessarily intended for people with strong body types or for two people. We recommend this alternative to the convertible sofa for extra sleeping for a single person with a standard body type.

The futon

The futon is a much more comfortable product than other types of low-end beds and sofas that can be found on the market. In fact, it outperforms the camp bed or even the classic bed, while remaining a very good way to save space. The futon bed is a product for small rooms such as a bedroom, a small studio or an office. The firmness of this bed is very firm, making its sleeping comfort a little less attractive than an inflatable mattress for example. However, if you like hard spaces to fall asleep in, we recommend the advantages of a futon bed for occasional or daily use.

Convertible sofa or extra bed? The convertible sofa with a good mattress will be more likely to be more comfortable but if the use of your extra bed is not daily, then this solution will be sufficient.

The different models of convertible sofas

Among this jungle of convertible sofas on offer, we must offer you a selection of convertible sofa beds that you absolutely must consider if you want to sleep well:

The corner sofa bed

The convertible corner sofa has the same advantages as the convertible sofa. The only difference is that you benefit from additional seating, even if someone lies down on your sofa. In fact, thanks to your convertible corner sofa, an additional seat can be accommodated in the return of the sofa. This means you benefit from seating space for 1 to 3 additional people compared to a standard convertible sofa. This offer is more suitable for a living room than for another room in your house or apartment due to its size.

The pull-out sofa bed

The pull-out sofa bed is a bed with another bed or a storage box placed in the lower body. Its easy opening system allows you to open your pull-out sofa bed without any hassle: pull out the drawer so that the bed comes as an extension of the sofa seat. Some trundle bed brands offer a storage box instead of the second bed to save you space in your room. It is, for example, ideal for studios or children's and teenagers' bedrooms.

The convertible chaise longue

A chaise longue just brings a touch of design to your living room! This type of sofa bed undeniably adds character to the room in which you are going to put it. However, the chaise longue has adapted to other convertible products and is available for daily or occasional sleeping. Small or large, this designer convertible sofa offers high quality seating and sleeping. A convertible chaise longue retains its asymmetry while being able to unfold for sleeping for 2 people maximum.
