The concept of seating becoming a bed has evidence of existence during ancient times. Both the Greeks and Romans used the same furniture for sitting and sleeping.
The 19th century saw huge growth in residential furniture design and the beginning of the sleeper sofa with folding frames and mattresses. It wasn’t until the 1930s that an Italian immigrant created the commercially successful Castro Convertible, a design that didn’t look as though there was a bed inside it.
By the mid-20th century, manufacturers developed the sofa bed into a practical and functional piece of furniture. Functional, but so uncomfortable. The coil mattress and metal bars digging into your back made sleep elusive. Today, we perfected the sofa bed with the addition of memory foam mattresses.
With a wide variety of styles, today’s sofa beds are space-saving by combining two functions in one. Comfort during the day and a convenient place to sleep at night. With the versatility of styles and designs, today’s sofa beds make the most of space planning.
Sofa So Good has the style, colour and comfort with memory foam mattresses. Our custom sofa beds are available in hundreds of beautiful, durable fabrics and leathers to complement your décor. Home offices can easily be converted to a guest room with the addition of a sofa bed.
Plus, some of the styles of sofa beds we carry can be incorporated into sectionals that are custom-made to work within your space and are available in sizes from queen, double and twin beds.
There are many types of sofa beds we have in our showroom. From the easy Lachlan to the versatile Movie night and, of course, the conventional sofa bed, where the removal of the cushions allows for the bed itself to be pulled out, ready for a comfortable night’s sleep for your guests. Whatever your needs are, from occasional visiting friends and family to daily use in studio/bachelor apartments, our sofa beds make the most of your space.
