Large sofa beds can offer you a lot more than just a large sofa. Obviously the bed is bigger too and it’s a bigger piece of furniture over all…which gives you a lot more to love!

Sometimes it’s the case that the bigger the sofa bed the more ugly it looks as a sofa. Not with ours though. We offer six styles of sofa bed which are all available in four sizes – from small right up to extra large, which has a mattress size of 180cmx200cm, that’s the same as for a Super King bed.

High quality large sofa beds in a range of beautiful colours.

Sometimes too the bigger the sofa bed the more uncomfortable the bed. Not surprising really when many have only a flimsy piece of foam resting on a laticework of thin metal for support.

This couldn’t be further from the truth with our large sofa beds. Just like all of the other sofa beds in our range they’re built around a super-strong frame. This frame is not only the base for the sofa seat when it’s closed but it’s what will make it comfortable for you as a bed as you sleep.

In fact our sofa bed frames are in fact so strong that you can even sit on the end of your bed when it’s open – just like you can a normal bed – and it won’t tip, fold or deliver any nasty surprises.

And if you’re wanting a large sofa bed it’s more important than ever that it looks great. So once you’ve decided which style works best for you and your family it’s time to start on the fun bit. And that’s choosing the type of covering and the colour. We offer a large range of fabrics and leathers.

On our Fabrics page there’s loads of information about the different options – for example if you have pets you might like to consider the Faux suede as it’s resistant to scuffs and scrapes and incorporates Healthguard to give added protection from bugs.

As we always say though the only way to really know what our large sofa beds are like is to come and see and try them for yourself. We have showrooms in London and Nottingham – all you have to do is Contact us to arrange an appointment.

People buy our sofa beds for many different reasons. Some are for the main living room of the house to be used as an everyday sofa (they’re ideal for this). Others are for a teenager’s bedroom. But something else we’re quite often asked about is sofa beds for playrooms.

Of course sofa beds for playrooms face many of the same demands as sofa beds that are destined to live in other parts of the house.  But there are a few extra things to take into consideration.

Spills and thrills. With the best will in the world sofa beds in playrooms are more likely to be exposed to spills than others in positions where they’ll be mainly used by adults. Therefore one thing to consider is Guardsman fabric protection.  It’s both a fabric coating that helps the sofa bed repel any spillages and an insurance policy that covers you for your loss should the mark not come out. So don’t forget to add it to your order.

And then there are the thrills. Clearly our sofa beds can’t be used as a trampoline but they are well made and built to last. They’ve been designed for everday use (as a sofa and a bed). We cover the frames in the very best quality foam that bounces back into shape when you or you little ones get up.

Playrooms are fun places. So you’ll want a sofa bed that looks fun but feels good to sit and sleep on too – especially if you’ll be sitting on it in the evenings after the little ones have gone to bed. There are five sofa beds in our range – Metro, London, Classic, Cambio, Play and Retro. They’re all really comfy and can all be upholstered in fabric treated with Guardsman.

Sofa beds for playrooms need to be fun – and our Play sofa bed is ideal.

But it’s the Play that we really love for playrooms. It’s slightly smaller relative to the size of the bed than others in the range and can be made in any combination of fun colours. In fact we’ve noticed a trend for the weird and wonderful.  And never cease to be amazed about how fabulous they look.

To see our range of fabrics and leathers have a look at the Fabrics page. Or to visit us in either London or Nottingham, simply Contact us to arrange an appointment.

It’s quite often the case that small is beautiful – and with our small sofa beds it’s an adage that’s definitely true.

Small sofa beds that look good and feel great to sit and sleep on aren’t that easy to find are they? There seems to be an assumption among the sofa bed makers that big is beautiful. And it often is, but it doesn’t suit everyone.

If you’re looking for small sofa beds it may be that you have a small space, so anything bigger is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. We have five high quality sofa beds in our range – Classic, Retro, London, Cambio and Play – and they’re all available in a range of sizes from small up to extra large.

Let’s have a look at our small sofa beds in more details.  They’re 2 and half seater and have a mattress size of 115 x 200cm, which is a shade narrower than a small double in bed terms. The size of the footprint varies depending on the model, with Play being the smallest.  If you need more details about precise sizes, please don’t hesitate to call or Contact Us.  We’re a small, friendly team so happy to help.

The Play is the smallest of our sofa beds.

Or if small isn’t quite small enough, there’s always the option of having a chair bed, which has a mattress size of 80 x 200cm.

If you’re needing a smalls sofa bed because of access difficulties you may find that with us you can go bigger than you thought. We deliver our sofa beds ourselves (they’re in sections and we assemble them once they’re where you want them to be) and can get them into some surprisingly small spaces.

Whether you’re considering small sofa beds or large sofa beds or something in between the best thing to do is come and have a look at ours so you can see for yourself how they look and feel for yourself how they feel (they really are comfortable!). We have showrooms in London and Nottingham – all you have to is Contact Us to arrange an appointment.

The Queen hasn’t been too well these past few days.  In fact unusually for her she’s even had to spend a night in hospital. Fortunately she’s on the mend now and has returned to Buckingham Palace to rest.  So what’s she doing do we think?  On the sofa with her feet up watching daytime television?  Maybe she’s even on one of our range of quality sofa beds fit for a Queen!

Ok, so perhaps not. We’re certainly not aware of having received any orders from the Windsor family. But should she wish we’d love the Queen to try one of our fabulous high quality sofa beds. Each one is stylish and carefully made by us in our own workshops using only the highest quality materials.

Take the sofa bed frame. Ours are high quality (and therefore extremely heavy) so not only are they supremely comfortable they’re also extremely sturdy.

And talking of comfort.,.. our high quality sofa beds really are comfortable. That’s comfortable as a sofa and as a bed. The frame provides the perfect base for our high quality mattresses – yes we offer a range of proper, thick mattresses – and they’re covered in the very best foam so feel great to sit on time and time again.

Our quality sofa beds come in five styles and many fabrics and leathers.

Our quality sofa beds come in a range of five different styles. There’s everything from the traditionally-styled Classic to the modern Retro (I know!) and the fun Play.  Have a look at the sofa beds page to see the whole range. (We think the Queen would like a Classic)

And then there are the quality finishes. There’s everything from beautiful high quality British leathers to fantastic bright fabrics. Our guess is that Her Majesty would like beautiful leather in Derby brown, although we would recommend she have a look at Faux Suede as it’s resistant to scuffs and spills so would be great with the Corgis. Have a look at the Fabrics page for all the options.

Why not come and see our quality sofa beds? We have showrooms in London and Nottingham – all we ask is that you Contact Us to make an appointment first.

Leather sofa beds in London – come and see and try them at our new showroom.

But best of all is if you’re able to visit one of our showrooms to see and try our leather sofa beds in London for yourself. We’re open on Saturdays and many Wednesdays but ask that you contact us in advance to arrange an appointment.

Our fabulous leather sofa beds come in five styles and five sizes. That means the comfortable bed that unfurls from within your sofa bed can be any size from Single to the equivalent of a 6′ Super King bed.

And when we say comfortable we really mean it. Our sofa beds come with a choice of high quality mattresses. They’re thick too and easily as comfortable to sleep on as any on a normal bed. In fact our sofa beds have been designed and made for everyday use.

Our new showroom in London is conveniently located on the North Circular (opposite Ikea) so is really easy to get to by car from just about any direction. (Once you arrive there’s free parking). There are good public transport links too –  we’re five minutes walk from Neasden tube station and served by local bus routes.  Have a look here for full directions.

And we look forward to welcoming you soon!

“Sofa beds for everyday use? I can’t think of anything worse!”  The words of a visitor to our London showroom recently. That was until he unfurled one of our fantastic sofa beds for a quick lie down.

Granted that particular customer was visiting us to buy one of our storage beds so wasn’t familiar with our range of high quality sofa beds so his horrified exclamation perhaps isn’t so surprising. After all many a sofa bed out there is extremely uncomfortable and not something you’d really want to spend the odd night on and certainly not something to sleep on every night.

Quality sofa designed and made for everyday use.

Our sofa beds are different though. They really are sofa beds for everyday use – designed and made to be used as a main bed every single night. And here’s why:

Firstly they are built around the very best mechanisms money can buy which means they open and close smoothly and easily time and time again. After all if you’re going to be closing and opening your sofa bed once every twenty four hours you don’t want it to be a struggle or a faff do you?

In turn the mechamism provides a proper, sturdy base for the sofa and the mattresses…

Sofa beds for everyday use need a proper mattress, which is just what ours have. In fact we offer a choice of mattress for most of our sofa bed models; there’s Coil Sprung, Pocket Sprung or the very latest Memory Foam. Have a look at the mattress pages of the individual sofa bed models for the details.

So it’s a combination of these things – and the fact that our sofa beds are comfortable as sofas too that make them ideal for use as a sofa by day and a bed by night. Every day and every night.

But why not come and see and try them for yourself. We have showrooms in London and Nottingham and would love to see you.  All we ask is that you Contact us to make an appointment.

The humble sofa bed is expected to do many things. Provide a comfortable bed for guests, a comfortable place to sit during the day….oh and look lovely. All of this and they’re often expected to be sofa beds for small spaces too.

And when it comes to sofa beds for smalls spaces you’ll find with ours you get more than you bargained for.  More bed and more sofa that is. Through clever design we have been able to give you a bigger bed relative to the size of the sofa than even we thought possible. Have a look on the sofa beds pages for precise details of the sizes.

Our sofa beds come in a variety of sizes and width. Perfect sofa beds for small spaces!

In many ways if you know how big the space for your sofa bed is you’re off to a good start. It’s always the decisions that are the most difficult and that is at least one out of the way.

And if you’re wanting your sofa beds for small spaces then there are some additional things to think about. The main thing to consider is the aforementioned size of the bed. Believe it or not the size of the bed that opens from within is not as closely related to the size of the sofa bed as you might think.

We have built ours around the very best mechanisms money can buy so they’re strong and solid and, crucially if space is important, don’t need arms for integrity. Take a Small (2.5 seater) Play sofa bed for example.  It’s stylish and fun, yet doesn’t have arms so can fit into a smaller space relative to its size. The mattress is 120cm wide, yet the whole sofa is just 23cm wider at 143cm.

Small is beautiful though of course, so all of our sofa beds – large and small come in a large range of beautiful Fabrics and genuine British leathers.   And some even have the option of built in storage – have a look at the individual model pages for details.

We have two showrooms – one in London the other in Nottingham – where you’re welcome to come and see and try all of our sofa beds. All you need to do is Contact Us first to arrange an appointment.  And if it’s sofa beds for small spaces you’re looking for we can even supply a tape measure to ensure a good fit.

High quality leather sofa beds are harder to find than you might think, unless you come to us at the Sofa Bed Company that is.

So what makes it so difficult to find high quality leather sofa beds? In truth many things.

The first problem is the sofa bed itself. Many out there are, frankly, a bit rubbish. They’re poorly designed and poorly made and comfortable as neither bed nor sofa.

High quality leather sofa beds in a range of beautiful colours.

By contrast our sofa beds are comfortable as both a bed and a sofa (they’re even suitable for everyday use). This is because they’re built around the very best mechanisms (details on each sofa bed model’s page) that money can buy. The mechanisms are strong – you can sit on the end of the bed when it’s open and it won’t tip – and open and close smoothly and easily time and time again. They provide the perfect base for…

….our range of fantastic, comfortable mattresses (again details on the sofa bed pages). Many a sofa bed is sold with little more than a thin piece of foam as an excuse for a mattress. Not ours. We offer you a choice of decent, thick mattresses that make our sofa beds as comfy as any bed.

And all this before we even get to the leather. Quality leather sofa beds need to be upholstered in good quality leather. It may sound the most obvious thing in the world, but one of the main reasons it’s difficult to find a good quality leather sofa bed is that many leather sofa beds aren’t even leather!  Yes really!

Many a furniture covering that is called “leather” is actually “bonded leather” or “split leather” or “faux leather”. None of this is 100% genuine leather. It has all be heavily treated and coated with a (very unnatural) substance and that’s if it was even leather in the first place. It won’t look as nice, feel as nice or last as long.  Worth it?  We don’t think so!

Our quality leather sofa beds are upholstered in 100% genuine leather that comes from British hides (have a look at the Fabrics page to see the range). It’s given only the minimal amount of treatment necessary so retains wonderful natural qualities. It’s supple, warm to sit on and incredibly hard wearing.

So hopefully this gives you a brief insight into why it’s so difficult to buy quality leather sofa beds. Why waste time looking elsewhere? Come and visit us at our workshops in London or Nottingham to see and try ours for yourself. Simply Contact us to arrange an appointment.

Sometimes we just want to have fun. Fun is different things to different people but it quite often involves friends. So why not introduce quality sofa beds into your life to add more friends…and more fun?

How? Well with quality sofa beds you can sit and chat in comfort with your friends by day and have them stay over on a fantastically comfortable bed by night (for even more fun the next day!). Simple hey?

Our quality sofa beds can even look fun!

Our sofa beds are of the highest quality money can buy. They’re built around solid mechanisms (they’re heavy) that not only make the bed open and close smoothly time and time again but also provide the base for the sofa and the bed.

Another thing that makes our quality sofa beds stand out from the crowd is the mattress. You wouldn’t buy a rubbish mattress and expect a bed to be comfortable would you? Well that’s what many people do when they buy a sofa bed. Not with ours though. We have a choice of comfortable, proper mattresses (Pocket Sprung, Memory Foam and Coil Sprung), to ensure anyone of the sofa bed by night has a great night’s sleep. Yes really!

When you’re buying quality sofa beds the quality of the finish matters too. We offer a wide range of fabrics and leathers (have a look at the Fabrics page to order your free samples). The leather is 100% genuine British leather and the fabrics have been carefully chosen by me (David, the owner) for not only their beautiful colours and textures but also their longevity.

We’re proud of our quality sofa beds and love nothing more than when you come and see and try them. We now have two showrooms – one in Nottingham, the other in London – which are open by appointment. Come and see us to sit on them, lie on them, open and close them…

So treat yourself to a quality sofa bed and have fun with friends. Make it a fun colour too for that extra wow factor.

When is your sofa beds sale? It’s a question that comes up often at this time of year. The simple answer is that there won’t be one. But we want to tell you the reasons why – and explain why sales aren’t always everything they’re cracked up to be.

We sell high quality sofa beds. We sell them through our website and then make and upholster them all ourselves (and to order) at our own workshops just outside Nottingham. In short they’re brilliant sofa beds that are great value for money (and by that we don’t mean the cheapest, but the best value).

We sell great value sofa beds all year around

Because we make all of our sofa beds to order there aren’t any left over, as it were, that we need to sell cheaply to make space for new designs or colours. There are no returns either because our customers are always happy. Hence nothing to sell in a sofa beds sale.

Our attention to detail means we don’t have any seconds. We’re not a large factory knocking out hundreds of sofa beds each day with the obvious consequence that some will go a little wrong, so there is no pile of “less-than-perfects” that we need to get rid off. So again, nothing to sell in a sofa beds sale.

Another thing too. As we’ve said value for money is important to us. We sell our sofa beds for a fair price so it doesn’t seem fair to sell them at one price for eleven months of the year and then suddenly reduce them in January. So another advantage of our no-sale policy is that you can buy our sofa beds at any time of the year safe in the knowledge that they won’t be twenty percent cheaper next week.

Having said all of that just occasionally we are able to offer sofa beds that have been on display or used in a photo shoot for a little less. Have a look at the list here to see if there’s anything to tickle your fancy.

We hope you understand the reasons why we don’t have a sale – and share our belief that it’s better for our customers in the long run.

If you’re thinking of buying one of sofa beds you can relax. There won’t be a sofa beds sale making it cheaper next week!
