The best sofa beds in Malaysia 2020 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:
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, 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 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 do it with the push of a button!
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 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 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. And removable covers are a bonus if someone was to spill something!
Some sofa beds come treated with anti-water repellent!
