Small Sofa Beds – How To Find Style And Comfort

If you don’t have a lot of space you have to make the space you do have work; and one of the contemporary styled small sofa beds could be the solution for you.

Many people are aware of the chair beds which are available and some of these are very comfortable and stylish. I think if you are going for one of these you need to understand their limitations. Firstly, many of them are made of foam and over time this compresses and becomes less comfortable. For this reason it is great as a chair in a spare room or kids room, but for a chair you are planning on using for adults everyday you may find that they are not durable enough. The same applies to the bed comfort; great for occasional use, but not ideal for regular use.

However, if you are looking for a foam chair bed then I would certainly recommend something along these lines; the Dorel Sleeper Chair. This is a neutral colour so it will fit well in any room. It is a simple design and I believe that it is being sold at the right price for its quality. Please note that it does not have removable or washable covers.

A step up from the foam chair bed is an upholstered sleeper chair such as the Victoria Chair Sleeper. But I am not sure that you get that much more for a considerable increase in cost.

Personally, I have become rather sold on some of the more clever designs now available on the market. I am definitely a fan of the Baxton Studios Romano Convertible Sofa. This looks great in any room as a chair. The fabric colours are great and modern to fit the contemporary look of the chair. Then for those chilled evenings in front of the televisions there is the great lounger position. This is where the bed is opened out, but the head is raised to allow you comfortably recover from a long day and relax. I think every house should have a lounger in this shape. Finally, the head end can be put flat to create wonderfully luxurious bed.

Another advantage of the Baxton, is that since it doesn’t have arm rests, you get more sleeping space for your money.

So when it comes to choosing between the small sofa beds available I would definitely go for something with a modern and innovative design which will really add to your space, not only with versatility, but also with style.
