Sofa bed, cheap and cheerful

7 replies

I've looked at too many and now can't make a decision.

I want a cheap and cheerful sofa bed for the playroom, I doubt it will be slept on often (if at all) and if it is it'll be by tweens without aches and pains so doesn't need to be as comfortable as a long term bed.

Do I get a click clack, a foam pull out, or one with proper legs? My space is about 180cm so not tiny but not huge either for a really solid one.

I'm likely ordering online so going off reviews only, but as I'm sceptical about them all any real life recommendations would be fab.

Get a decent one off gumtree or Facebook or the charity shop and give it a clean.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I realised I wasn’t helpful. I had a cheaply is all, and as a sofa (not even as a bed) it was rubbish!! So I’d not be fussed on the type I’d go for a proper decent one and clean it.

IKEA Lyksele is really good.

@maggisimpson do you have the smaller or bigger one? Can 2 people sleep on the bigger one if that's what you have?

Sofa bed rather than chair bed if that's what you mean? I think it's standard double bed size so fine for 2 and we have the one with the better mattress (murbo) and it's really comfy!
