Sleeping Sofa vs. Bed. How to Choose the Right One?

An alternative to the bed

Do you have a small apartment or a studio and can't afford a bed, because it would take up too much valuable space in the room? In this situation, a sofa with a sleeping function will be a perfect choice! Its biggest advantage is the fact that it’s a multifunctional piece of furniture. During the day it can serve as a comfortable seat, but also as a place for work, study and meetings with friends and family. In the evening it can be easily turned into a comfortable bed.

We've gathered a lot of sofa beds in different sizes and colors, so you can easily choose the perfect model for your interior. We've created 2-seater, 3-seater, and corner sofa beds that will satisfy even the most demanding tastes! A simple calculation will help you make a choice regarding its size. It’s accepted that the minimum sleeping surface for an adult should be no less than 60 cm wide. The length should be 15-20 cm more than their height. Make a short calculation to choose the perfect model for you!

When choosing a sofa with a sleeping function as an alternative to a bed, particular attention should be paid to the mechanism of unfolding it, since this activity will be performed twice a day. It’s therefore important that folding and unfolding of the sofa is fast and easy to do. From the Micadoni offer we can distinguish sofas with a seat consisting of several parts of mattresses, which are unfolded on the ground, while the backrest forms an impressive bed frame. There are also models with a foldaway backrest or a pull-out carriage. Each type of sofa bed is described in detail in this article, which will be helpful in making a choice. In any case, the arrangement around the sofa is also important. A sofa bed will work better with light tables and other furnishings that can easily be moved aside in the evening to make room for the pull-out part of the sofa.

Sleeping place for your guests

You don't have an extra bedroom and your friends or family often stay over? A sofa with a sleeping function can be placed anywhere, for example in your living room, study, or even in the hallway. It's a great solution for small houses or apartments that don't have an extra room for guests.

Relaxation at the highest level

The bed has been designed to give us comfortable sleep. So if you have a bedroom or a spare space in another room that can accommodate this piece of lounge furniture, its choice won't disappoint, offering the highest level of comfort. You'll sleep like royalty in a bed, rest your back comfortably while reading in the evening or having breakfast in the morning, and your bedroom will get its own star of design.

Every part of the bed is designed to give the best possible support to your body. As Micadoni specialists, we know that the mattress is a key part of the bed. After all, we spend 1/3 of our lives directly on it. To make the best choice of mattress, remember that one person needs a model with a width of at least 80 cm to fully recover, and two people - a mattress with a width of at least 140 cm. When choosing a mattress you should also take your body weight into account. A mattress of medium firmness is best for slim people, while people weighing 80 kg and more rest better on a firmer model. In addition, people sleeping on their side are recommended a softer mattress than those who prefer to sleep on their back or stomach. In our offer everyone will find something for themselves - we have both foam mattresses as well as spring and pocketed models with different degrees of hardness. Detailed information can be found in the description of each product.

Additional storage space

Do you have limited space in your room, but still want to opt for a bed? Great! Choose a model with a special chest, located under the mattress. It serves as additional storage space, which will be good for spare pillows, duvets for different seasons, blankets or towels, which usually take up a lot of space in the closet. And if you choose a bed like this, you can do without a chest of drawers to make more room inside.

An Ornament for Every Bedroom

A living room needs many elements to create an impressive arrangement, and a bedroom needs... a bed! Its appearance has evolved over the years. In the past, a base supporting the mattress was enough, today the bed is the most visible and decorative piece of furniture that gives the room a certain style. This role belongs mainly to the bed frame with a headboard. It not only gives a comfortable and soft back support, especially in the case of upholstered beds, and is invaluable when reading a book or watching a movie, but it’s also extremely presentable! Our designers take the same approach with beds as they do with sofas adorning our living rooms - they decorate them with quilting and upholster them with the most fashionable fabrics with a velvety, shiny, extremely elegant finish. In addition, these fabrics are maintained in the most fashionable colors. In our offer you will find models bathed in navy blue, blue, beige and juicy burgundy! You just can't look past them. That's why beds have become so much more than just a place to sleep. Now they are synonymous with luxury.
