Which sofa cum bed mechanism should you choose?
- Click-clack - the backrest folds flat by pressing it. Quickest conversion, no extra floor space needed. Best for daily use.
- Pull-out (jackknife) - the seat pulls forward and unfolds into a bed. Roomier sleep surface, needs 2 feet of clearance.
- Futon - a thick mattress on a folding wooden or metal frame. Minimalist, very affordable.
- Storage sofa-bed - lift-up seat reveals storage for bedding. Ideal for guest rooms.
What mattress thickness is right for a sofa cum bed?
- 3-4 inch - occasional guest use; folds easiest.
- 5 inch (most popular) - balance of seat comfort and sleep comfort.
- 6 inch HR foam - daily-sleep grade; firm seat, supportive bed.
- 6 inch bonded foam + memory layer - premium, for back-pain sufferers.

Is a sofa cum bed comfortable for daily sleeping?
For occasional guests, any 4-6 inch mattress is fine. For daily sleeping (a teenager, a live-in helper, or a studio apartment), insist on 6 inch HR foam plus a sturdy mechanism - we recommend our click-clack with reinforced steel frame, around ₹32,000 - and rotate the mattress monthly.
How much storage do you get with a sofa cum bed?
Our storage sofa cum beds offer 4-6 cubic feet of under-seat space - enough for a full duvet, two pillows, and folded bed linen. The hydraulic lift mechanism holds the seat open one-handed, with a child-safe slow-close.

- Kiln-dried hardwood frame
