The best sofa beds in Malaysia 2021 are a dual blessing in your home!
Because instead of having 2 large pieces of furniture cramping up your home, you can have one that acts as both! As a place for extra guests to sleep! Or as a couch for lounging on during the day!
For their convenience, foldable sofa beds are getting popular in Malaysia! Take a look at these single and double bed varieties!
Types Of Sofa Bed
It’s amazing how many types there are!
- 2 Seater – Can convert to a super single or queen sized bed; Made for small spaces.
- 3 Seater – When the main purpose is to serve as your main sofa! Transforms into a double bed too.
- Corner/ L Shape – A matter of preference; This style may suit your room better
- Storage – Build includes additional storage underneath the seats!
Sofa Bed Mechanisms
Just for your information, there are a variety of ways to convert a sofa bed into a bed!
1. Pull-Out Sofa Bed
Without affecting the back of the sofa, you can lift the seats up to fold out into a bed. There is usually a metal frame with springs that allows you to do this!
2. Futons
Another common style, where you simply push the back down to form a bed together (side-by-side) with the seats! Because the metal frame underneath has hinges between the back and the seats!
This is the type we feature the most in our list!
3. Sleeper Sofas
Often, these are sectional sofas (including L-shaped sofas) that can be manipulated and arranged to form a bed! They may have a folded mattress inside!
4. Drawer Sofa Bed
Instead of folding, you slide out the seats so that the folded mattress stored in the sofa can lie on top.
5. Electronic Sofa Bed
Understandably, not everyone has the mobility to convert their sofa in to a bed. Electronic sofa beds can convert with the push of a button!

1. Atom 2 Seater Foldable Sofa Bed
An attractive budget option, the Atom 2 Seater Foldable Sofa Bed has a clean design and sits lower than the average sofa.
Push the back down and you’ve got a firm mattress!
Installation of the legs is easy as the sofa bed is not heavy. And it’s comfortable too. Neither too hard or soft.
Reviews highly recommend it for minimalist interiors, studio apartments, small homes, and for study rooms. It looks neat and doesn’t take up much space.
The colors are muted and are not as vibrant in real life. However, the fabric is smooth, well stitched and thick.
Users are thrilled with the sturdy quality and price point. Only noting that the 2-seater is too small for most adults. And better suited for kids (anyone below 140cm). The 3-seater sleeps a single adult.
There are also a variety of colors (depending on what is available) – Orange, burgundy, grey, deep green, red, dark grey, etc.

3. Cassa Mimo 2 Seater Sofa Bed
While it doesn’t resemble a conventional sofa, the Cassa Mimo 2 Seater Sofa Bed is a great emergency bed! Because when it is folded, it does not take up much floor space!
And upon conversion to bed mode, it is slightly smaller than a standard queen-sized mattress. And may be too short for taller adults. But it is comfortably firm. The padding is firm foam.
In fact, it’s more comfortable as a bed rather than a sofa! Although some users say that it’s still comfortable to sit on but short for adults.
If there’s anything else to complain about, it’s the lack of patterns and colors that the Cassa Mimo 2 Seater Sofa Bed comes in.
However, the best thing about it is that it is light but durable enough for kids to manage the conversion themselves, safely and easily. And it is just as easy to fold back into a sofa!

4. Viva Houz Costa 3 Seater Sofa Bed
This solid 3 seater sofa bed by Viva Houz is very wide. And thick with springs for more support! Tilt the back down to convert it to a bed!
The Viva Houz Costa 3 Seater Sofa Bed also fits budgets of RM1,000 and serves as a proper couch as well as a day bed for adults.
When folded out into a bed, it can fit a single adult (L198cm) comfortably, with room to turn (W114) too!
However, since it’s quite big, you should double check its dimensions against your room layout first! It’s larger than the other Viva Houz models in this list!
We like that it actually looks like a sofa. And that you get 2 pillows with it! The arm rests have washable covers on them. But bear in mind that the sofa itself doesn’t have a separate cover.
On the whole, users are satisfied with it. However if you choose the brown variation, the actual color is not as rich. Or as grey as some of the display pictures show.

Another 3 seater sofa bed (same price) that you can consider from Viva Houz is their Helena model. Especially if you prefer a softer feel.
It too has spring, metal legs, an adjustable backrest and a hard wood frame. Besides using the same folding mechanism!
Users remark that the blue variation of this sofa bed is not color-accurate to the display pictures. It looks duller in real life. But the quality meets expectations.
However, the sofa bed feels plush and isn’t too large. It’s comfortable enough for watching TV on as one user put it. And you get throw pillows too!
Like the other Viva sofa beds, assembly is straightforward. By the end of it, there should be a 10” gap between the base of the sofa and the floor.
But because the cover is not water repellent or removable, you might want to take extra care not to spill anything onto it!

Lavino Terre 3 Seater L-Shape Sofa Bed is built as a sectional sofa with a separate ottoman stool.
Allowing you the flexibility of changing the configuration as you please!
According to users, it is as advertised and either color is pleasant! Sitting on it feels firm.
One user was not impressed with the top section of the sofa bed however. Because it’s not very easy to push the top back down!
Another displeased user found that the legs scratched their wooden floors. While others are just not convinced that the sofa bed can last long.

8. M&S Sofea 3 Seater L-Shape Sofa Bed
M&S Sofea 3 Seater L-Shape Sofa Bed has a low modern silhouette. The L is interchangeable. And the sofa bed is available in dark grey, brown, red or blue.
And both sections of the sofa can serve as individual single beds if you push the back down.
The size of it is ideal for large living rooms (and large households). Everyone will be able to watch TV together! Plenty of space for guests too!
M&S Sofea 3 Seater L-Shape Sofa Bed looks great and spacious. But while it may feel solid, you don’t get much cushioning for your bum!
One user described the feel of it akin to sitting directly on the wooden frame (i.e. too hard). There are no springs in this sofa bed either. Some users still find it comfortable.
If you like the blue variation, the color is quite accurate to the display pictures!

Casa Mueble’s Shelbie sofa bed can be pre-ordered as a 3 seater or 4 seater. In brown or grey.
The backrest can fold down to 180° to form a sizeable bed with a width of 90cm! Same as a standard single bed.
However, if you’re taller than 150cm, you should opt for the 4-seater sofa bed!
Of the make, users find it to be of good quality. The cushion has mid firmness.
What they don’t like is the low height (70cm) and the fact that the sofa cover cannot be removed for washing!
It’s still a steal if you’re looking for a sofa bed with wooden legs. And that opens to a single bed for an adult to sleep on!

10. KAZUKI 4 Seater Foldable L Shape Sofa Bed
From the photos, the KAZUKI 4 Seater Foldable L Shape Sofa Bed looks larger than it actually is in real life. So do check those dimensions first!
Reviews show that the sofa bed is not adequate for adults to lounge on comfortably (i.e. too low). So you most likely can’t use it to replace a proper living room set!
Also note that the 2 sections of the sofa bed are not equal in length. And when it arrives, you will need an extra hand to lift the package!
Size aside, the build and fabric quality is good for the price! The frame appears to be quite solid. And the reclining mechanism is functional.
Promo video:
The cushion is firm. Hard according to one user. And not what you would want to sit on for binging on your favorite TV series for hours!
However, if you’re working with a small guest room or living space, it is sufficient. And it’s under RM400 so you can’t really complain!

The adjustable backrest of the Colorlife Combi Sofa Bed can lay flat to form a single bed!
Promo video:
Almost all users say that this sofa bed is very easy to assemble (with instructions and guidance from the seller or YouTube). Everything you need is zipped up underneath the seat of the sofa.
Note: The trickiest part is the armrests
Which does mean that the seats of the sofa are not as solid. But it’s still soft enough to sit/ recline or sleep on! Just not something that kids can climb and jump all over!
There are some users who find the firmness a bit hard and the padding too thin. However, the fabric does not feel warm and colors are fairly accurate to what you see in the photos.
Its size is large enough to accommodate 4 adults. Although it only sleeps 1 adult, together with a small child.

How To Choose A Sofa Bed
1. Budget
Sofa beds can be more expensive than a regular sofa.
However, there are also cheap sofa beds that cost RM300 and less! Don’t expect these to last through the years though!
2. Where Do You Want To Put The Sofa Bed?
Firstly, determine what the main purpose of the bed is! Will it serve as your main sofa in the living room? Or will you be keeping it in your study?
Measure a spot to place the sofa bed as well. And just like you would for a massage chair, include some extra clearance for when the bed is fully expanded!
3. Ease Of Setting Up
Who’s going to be using the sofa bed the most? Kids?
It needs to be easy to setup and store away. More so, if it will be used quite frequently!
4. Size
There are single and double beds available.
If it’s for guests, look for a sofa bed that can support the weight of fully-grown adults!
Do check the bed dimensions (both sofa and bed mode) too. Some sofa beds (in bed mode) may not be long enough for a tall person.
5. Mattress
It’s common that the mattress will be made of foam. But these can feel stuffy even though they provide good support.
The alternative are pocket spring mattresses! Which will cost more but will be more comfortable in the long run!
Or you can layer a foldable mattress on top!
6. Upholstery Choices
Look for something that’s tightly woven. That will last longer. Removable covers are also a bonus if someone was to spill something!
Some sofa beds come treated with anti-water repellent!
Conclusion
The best sofa beds in Malaysia do not have to cost you a fortune! The top budget-friendly and options from this list are items 11 (4-seater option; double) and 13 (single).
And if you can afford to pay more, item 8 is versatile and chic! You can try it for yourself at their showroom first too!
