Sofa Beds are similar in principle to guest beds. The idea is to save as much space as possible. A sofa bed, as the name would suggest, is a bed stored within a sofa.

The sofa can take many different shapes, forms and sizes and will usually involve the bed being part of the sofa itself. As you can see from the image below, the sofa bed will fold out to offer a sleeping surface.

In most cases, the mattress will be a narrow layer of fibre or even foam and will be fixed to the bed base. It will fold out with the sleeping surface and remain in place when folded away.

The Sofa Bed is a simple, hassle free way of storing a bed in an area with little space.
