Sofa bed recommendations

Anyone got a sofa bed they love and would recommend? Looking for one that has arms and is a comfortable sofa as will be primarily used as a sofa, but will also be used as a very occasional guest bed too when we have people staying. Also on a bit of a budget too! Thank you!

Forgot about this post! Sadly still no closer to buying a sofa bed so any recommendations still very much welcomed!!

IKEA have quite a few comfy ones with arms. The one I liked (can't recall the name but website reviews are good) was about £800.
Furniture123 have some nice looking ones at a very good price but not sure how comfy....also Dunelm. All relatively budget.
I ended up getting one from ebay ad I had specific size requirements and also wanted a corner config for a spare bedroom/playroom.

We were advised that if the main use will be as a sofa, buy one made by a company who focus on sofas as the upholstery and sofa cushions will be a better quality. Ours is from a local firm and the bed pulls out using a separate mattress which you can upgrade to a proper pocket sprung or memory foam.
it works really well as a sofa in our main sitting room and no-one knows it is a sofa bed but when required it provides a great bed for guests.
One key thing for me was it had to have arms as I hate sofas without arms!
Something like that this

I have this one in the blue colour:
www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/friheten-corner-sofa-bed-with-storage-with-extra-back-cushions-skiftebo-dark-grey-s09326626/
I've slept on it and it's firm but very comfortable. It wouldn't become my regular bed but it's perfect for a couple of nights in a row. As a sofa it's very comfortable too.

There are a few on GiGi home interiors like day beds? Worth a look 🤷🏼‍♀️
I asked them about a bed on there that they didn’t have but she sent me some other options that weren’t on the website too so worth asking!

This is exactly what we are looking for, and yes will be primarily a sofa! Local firms are a good shout, will have to do some research. Thank you!
