1. Test it
Make sure the sofa is comfortable. If you can – sit on it, and make sure that it supports your back sufficiently. Also make sure the padding on the cushions is thick so that you cannot feel any of the sofa bed mechanism poking through the seat.

2. Space
Measure your space. Make sure you have enough space to fold out the sofa bed without scraping the walls. Also check that you have enough room to walk around the bed when it’s opened out.

3. Sturdiness
Make sure that the frame sturdy and bolted is stronger then a screwed sofa bed.

4. Padded
Make sure there is a layer of padding to protect the mechanism and prevent the cushions from wearing out over time.

5. Fold it out
If you can pull out the sofa bed then you see how easy it is to unfold the sofa into a bed. You want this as easy as possible.

6. Convenience
For convenience – ask whether the bed can still be folded away when it is made up with light bedding.

7. Put it away
Push the bed back into the sofa to make sure that it glides back easily into position.

8. Returns
Some sofa companies allow you to try the sofa at home to test it out. This cooling-off period allows you to buy a sofa without worrying that you might not like it.
