Sleep Well For Less - Last Chance
Sofa beds give you a comfortable sofa by day and a ready-made bed for guests at night, without needing a spare room. At Land of Beds, we've been helping people across the UK find the right bed for over 50 years, and our sofa bed range covers 1, 2 and 3 seater sizes in pull-out, clic clac and futon styles. Choose from soft fabric, velvet, boucle and faux leather finishes in a wide range of colours, with prices to suit most budgets. Free UK delivery on orders over £100 and flexible finance options come as standard.
Browse the full range below, or read on for help choosing the right size, mechanism and finish. Our team is available seven days a week if you'd like a personal recommendation.
A sofa bed has two jobs, and it needs to do both well. It has to be a sofa you're happy to sit on every day and a bed your guests will actually sleep well on. Getting that balance right comes down to the size of your room, how often the bed will be used and how easy you want it to be to open. At Land of Beds, we've spent over 50 years helping people choose beds, and we'll give you honest advice on which sofa bed suits your space, with no hard sell.
Three things decide whether a sofa bed will suit your home. Get these right and choosing a colour and fabric is the easy part.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Size open and closed | A sofa bed needs to fit your room as a sofa and have enough clear floor space once it's opened into a bed. | Overall sofa width and depth, sleeping dimensions, clear space in front of the sofa |
| Mechanism | The mechanism decides how quickly the bed opens, how much space it needs and how it feels to sleep on. | Pull-out, clic clac or futon style, and how many steps it takes to open |
| Comfort and use | Most sofa beds are built for guests rather than nightly sleeping, so the filling and support matter. | Fibre or pocket sprung support, whether a mattress is built in, and if it's designed for occasional or regular use |

Sofa beds are sized by how many people they seat rather than by standard mattress sizes. Sleeping dimensions vary by design, so always check the individual product listing.
| Size | Best For | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Seater (chair bed) | Box rooms, studies, kids' rooms and occasional single guests | The sleeping length when open, and whether there's room to walk around it |
| 2 Seater | Smaller living rooms, home offices and flats | Sleeping width if two people will share it |
| 3 Seater | Main living rooms and households that host guests regularly | Overall sofa width against the wall space you have |
| Corner | Larger living rooms where you want plenty of seating as well as a bed | Which side the chaise or corner section sits on, and space to open the bed |
Measure your room with the bed open, not just closed. Leave enough space to walk around the open bed and to reach any doors, radiators or sockets.
See our guide: How to Choose the Best Sofa Bed for Your Room for more measuring advice.
The mechanism is the biggest difference between one sofa bed and another. Here's a plain comparison of the main styles in our range.
| Type | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Pull-out sofa beds | Sleeping surface pulls out from under the seat, quick to open, sofa keeps a traditional look | Living rooms and guest rooms where you want a proper sofa that opens fast |
| Clic clac sofa beds | Backrest drops flat to make the bed, no separate parts, usually armless or slim-armed | Small spaces, studios and anyone who wants a simple one-step bed |
| Futon sofa beds | Frame folds flat, firmer feel, simple and lightweight design | Spare rooms, students and occasional use on a tighter budget |
| Corner sofa beds | Generous seating with a bed built in, larger footprint | Bigger living rooms and families who need extra sleeping space |

In our experience, the most common regret with a sofa bed is choosing on looks alone and only measuring the closed sofa. Checking the open size first saves a lot of hassle on delivery day.
The upholstery affects how a sofa bed looks, how it feels and how easy it is to keep clean. Here's a plain comparison of the finishes in our range.
| Material | Performance and Maintenance | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Soft and warm to sit on, available in a wide range of colours. Vacuum regularly and spot clean marks. | Living rooms, family homes and anyone wanting lots of colour choice |
| Velvet | Rich, soft finish with a slight sheen. Brush gently to keep the pile looking even and spot clean spills quickly. | Statement living rooms and boutique-style guest rooms |
| Boucle | Textured, looped fabric with a cosy, modern look. Vacuum with a soft brush and avoid snagging. | Contemporary and Scandi-style interiors |
| Faux leather | Smooth finish that's quick to wipe clean. Keep out of direct sunlight to help it last. | Busy households and anyone who wants an easy-care finish |
Several designs are available in a choice of colours and fabrics. On selected models you can request a fabric swatch before you order, so you can see the colour in your own room.
Your budget affects the build, the filling and the choice of finishes. Here's what to expect across our range.
| Budget | What You Get | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Under £500 | Simple, practical designs at an affordable price. Great value for occasional guests. | Spare rooms, students, first homes |
| £500 to £999 | More choice of fabrics and colours, pull-out mechanisms and options with pocket sprung support. | Everyday sofas in living rooms that host guests regularly |
| £1,000+ | Premium velvet finishes, larger designs and a more substantial build. | Main living rooms where the sofa bed is a centrepiece |
Mike Murray, Land of Beds CEO: "A sofa bed gets sat on every day and slept on by your guests, so it's worth thinking about both jobs before you buy. Choose the size and mechanism that suit your room first, then the fabric. That's what makes it a sofa bed you'll be glad you bought."

Not sure whether a sofa bed or a separate guest bed is right for you? Here's a plain comparison.
| Sofa Beds | Guest Beds | |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday use | A sofa you sit on every day | Usually a single bed or day bed when not in use |
| Space needed | Takes the place of a sofa, so no extra furniture | Needs its own space in a spare room or office |
| Sleeping comfort | Good for guests, varies by mechanism and filling | Often closer to a standard bed, especially trundle designs |
| Best for | Living rooms and homes without a spare bedroom | Spare rooms, kids' rooms and regular sleepovers |
Neither is better for every home. If you need your seating to work twice as hard, a sofa bed is usually the right call. If you have a spare room, take a look at our guest beds and day beds.
What comes with your sofa bed varies by design. As a general guide across our range:
| Item | Typically Included? |
|---|---|
| Sofa bed frame | Yes, always |
| Mattress or sleeping surface | Most designs have built-in fibre or pocket sprung support, so no separate mattress is needed. Others use the sofa's seat cushions as the sleeping surface. Check the listing. |
| Scatter cushions and throws | No, unless shown in the listing |
| Bedding | No, bedding is sold separately |
| Assembly service | No, our assembly service isn't available on sofa beds. Check the listing for set-up details. |
Always check the individual product listing for full details of what's included before you order, as this varies between designs.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the best type of sofa bed? | It depends on your room and how often the bed will be used. A pull-out sofa bed looks like a regular sofa and opens quickly, which suits most living rooms. A clic clac is the simplest and most compact choice for small spaces. A futon is a lighter, more affordable option for occasional guests. Use the quick decision guide above to find your starting point. |
| Do sofa beds come with a mattress? | Most of our sofa beds have built-in fibre or pocket sprung support, so you don't need to buy a separate mattress. Others use the sofa's seat cushions as the sleeping surface. Check the individual listing to see how each design works, and consider a mattress topper if you'd like extra comfort for guests. |
| Can you sleep on a sofa bed every night? | Most sofa beds are designed for occasional use, such as overnight guests, rather than nightly sleeping. If you need a bed for everyday use, a design with pocket sprung support will feel more like a standard bed, or our team can suggest an alternative such as a day bed or guest bed. |
| What size sofa bed should I choose? | Start with the space you have once the bed is open, not just the closed sofa. A 1 seater suits box rooms and studies, a 2 seater works in most smaller living rooms, and a 3 seater or corner design suits larger rooms. Sleeping dimensions are listed on every product page, and our guide to choosing the best sofa bed for your room has more measuring tips. |
| What's the difference between a pull-out and a clic clac sofa bed? | A pull-out sofa bed has a sleeping surface stored under the seat that you pull out and pop up. A clic clac has a backrest that folds flat to create the bed in one movement. Pull-outs keep a more traditional sofa shape, while clic clacs are usually more compact. |
| What's the difference between a sofa bed and a futon? | A futon is a type of sofa bed with a frame that folds flat and a firmer, thinner surface. Other sofa beds tend to have more padding and a more traditional sofa look. Futons are a good choice for spare rooms and occasional guests. |
| Can I order a fabric sample? | Yes, on selected models. Contact our team by phone on 01928 242829 or through live chat and we'll arrange a fabric swatch for you. |
| Do you offer assembly on sofa beds? | Our assembly service isn't available on sofa beds. Check the individual product listing for set-up details, or ask our team before you order. |
| Do you offer free delivery on sofa beds? | Yes, delivery is free on orders over £100 to most mainland UK addresses. Some further-out postcodes may incur a charge, and lead times vary by product, so check the individual listing. See our delivery page for full details. |
| Can I buy a sofa bed on finance? | Yes, finance is available on eligible orders, so you can spread the cost. See our finance page for eligibility and how to apply. |
| What guarantee comes with a sofa bed? | The sofa beds in our range currently come with a 1 year guarantee. Check the individual listing for the details of each design. |
