We therefore suggest that you define your choice of your sofa bed according to the sleeping frequency:

Occasional sleeping?

If you use your convertible sofa as an extra bed or to receive guests, it is not necessary to choose materials that improve the sleeping quality but to opt more on other criteria such as the quality of the covering. This is the perfect sleeping frequency for velvet sofas which are more intended to decorate your house or apartment.

Regular sleeping?

For more regular use of your convertible sofa, we advise you to look at sofa beds providing a bedding and seating quality more suited to your frequency of use.

Your mattress must be comfortable with a thickness between 10 and 14 cm. The velvet sofa bed is always possible but its covering could deteriorate more easily and quickly!

Daily sleeping?

In this specific case, we do not advise you to choose the velvet sofa bed: convertible product models of another type would be more suited to your needs: we recommend leather convertible sofas which combine elegance and robustness. So many benefits for the decor of your house, apartment or living space!

You can also choose a microfiber convertible sofa , which will be robust over time while being easy to maintain.

3- Choose the size

In appearance, a convertible sofa looks like a standard sofa. Indeed, just like a classic straight sofa, a convertible sofa has armrests, seat cushions, back cushions and a box to accommodate the box spring. But, in reality, this smart piece of furniture is a 2-in-1 sofa: when this sofa is folded, the sofa bed can be used as a fixed sofa for sitting and relaxing. Unfolded, it becomes a real functional bed. It’s a real space-saving piece of furniture!

It folds in the blink of an eye thanks to integrated casters. It can be installed in a bedroom or any other living room. The convertible sofa is available in different models:

- The 1-seater convertible sofa is ideal for single people or for two people in the largest models.

- The 2-seater convertible sofa is an ideal model for large families or couples who want to spend some time together. This sofa can also be used as a bed for children.

- The 3-seater convertible sofa is ideal for entertaining friends. It offers additional space and can be used as an extra bed. It is also possible to set up an office there.

If you want to make your purchase of a velvet convertible sofa a reality, you should choose the size of your future sofa bed carefully!

Vintage style

Vintage convertible sofas will take you back to the 60s! The most dominant covering being velvet, you will be seduced by this fluffy and soft fabric which harmonizes with rather light colors, such as pale red or even pop orange and bright yellow.

On the one hand, if your decor has quite strong patterns, know that there are convertible sofas in graphic printed fabrics to further personalize your vintage decoration! On the other hand, retro works great with light-toned living rooms or a home with a vintage design.

Classic convertibles

If you are more into casual decor, a more classic product in terms of shape and colors will delight everyone at home!

Thus, the armrests are making a comeback with more pronounced shapes, the backrests are becoming larger. Velvet is always in the spotlight with the classic type, but it can easily be replaced by leather or imitation leather models.

One of the advantages of the convertible sofa is that it allows freer customization: in terms of colors, they are easier to choose; from dark to very light. The same goes for the formats of the convertible sofa: whether it is a straight sofa, a corner sofa or even a 2 or 3 seater sofa, you will generally have no limits in your choice, apart from the consistency with your interior design, of course!

The Scandinavian

A decor like no other...

Due to a lack of light in Scandinavian countries, most of the furniture is often very colorful and "flashy" to the great pleasure of Scandinavians. Indeed, color is the best friend of homes and living rooms depleted in light due to a lack of windows or light penetration. The second particularity of Scandinavian design is their relationship with nature.

For them, it is important to be in harmony with what surrounds us, and this involves decorating their living space. This is the reason why we find quality wood in their sofa models, glass which lets light into the house or even metal, a noble and pure material. This also involves the use of warm fabrics, such as throws and wool blankets to create a cocooning and warm environment.

And what about Scandinavian sofa beds?

Convertibles are no exception to the rule! We find the Scandinavian style in products with clean lines, straight or slightly rounded, with armrests and the absence of headrests. In terms of fabric materials, they are frequently quilted but leather can also appear in the Scandinavian-style convertible sofa. As long as it is white!

Depending on what you think is most likely to harmonize with the decor of your living room or other living room in your home, we invite you to choose from these different atmospheres.
