The Sofa Bed
Buying Guide

Space: At NEXT, our product dimensions are given at the widest point. Ensure you measure the floor area when the bed is fully extended to allow for sufficient access through the room.

Comfort: The size and configuration will directly impact comfort. An essential part of your sleeping solution is the mattress. Explore the wide range of mattress types we offer to discover the best option for you.

Style: When selecting upholstery fabric, consider comfort and practicality alongside colour, texture and design.

Sofa beds are ideal for homes that don't have enough space for an extra bed but still want somewhere for guests to stay. They make your space more functional, doubling as a seating area and a place to sleep. A sofa bed with storage underneath is also ideal for keeping extra bedding or towels tucked away for guests.

Before choosing a product, follow these steps to ensure a perfect fit.

Check the footprint: Consider any protruding fixtures, such as radiators or skirting boards, that might limit where the bed can unfold.

Ensure access: Check that your measurements allow for delivery and day-to-day access through hallways and doorways.

Select your configuration: If you’ve chosen a corner sofa, ensure you select the correct orientation (left or right hand) for your space.

Popular locations include spare bedrooms, home offices and living areas. Where you place yours will depend on the size of your space and how often the sofa bed is used.
