A sofa is an element that every house must have. Few pieces of furniture are so versatile and can be changed so easily just by changing the coverings. So why exactly would you want a sofa bed? There are 3 good reasons.

1.Space- When space is at a premium, you really do have to choose your furniture carefully. Having extra beds for the occasional visitor is great… but then what do you do with the bed the rest of the time? Get on the couch! Better than a sofa bed, a daybed can sleep a single person without taking up extra space or can be expanded to sleep two (or three or four if it’s small children like all the nieces and nephews when their brother comes to visit.) When the bed function is not needed, the chaise can easily function as a normal seating space. Or it can be your child’s regular bed but with the ability to easily handle a sleepover.

2. Comfort – While airbeds are better than sleeping on the floor, they’re not as comfortable as sleeping on a real mattress…and lying almost on the floor becomes more difficult as you get older. Get that divan! When it’s just the kids who need a place to sleep, that’s one thing. But how many times have you “graciously” given up your bed when your parents or some other adult came over to visit and you just couldn’t have them sleeping on that airbed…which is where you ended up sleeping! With a chaise lounge as a guest bed, you can easily sleep two adults, either separately in two twin beds or together in the resulting king-size bed you’ll have when you place the trundle unit against the chaise lounge. With this type of sleeping arrangement, both you and your guests will get a good night’s sleep.

3. Styling – Divans come in so many different styles that you can simply choose based on the “look” you want in the room. If the chaise will be in a home office, then you can keep it simple by choosing a less ornate style frame and using a simple fitted chaise cover to maintain a more sofa-like appearance. If your daybed will be in a sewing or craft room or even a small guest room, select a more decorative bed frame and create a softer look with a set in the color scheme of your choice and as many cushions as possible. possible. you want.

Although you don’t need to buy them together, be sure to get a trundle unit at some point, as this will double your sleeping space without taking up any extra space, except when the bed is in use. The pop-up nest is a little more expensive than the lift-up one, but it is much easier to set up and take down.
