Futons & Sofa Beds

Sofa Beds for Guests and Everyday Life

For most Aussie homes, a sofa bed is just a sofa. It works as a proper sofa day in, day out, whether you're in a house, unit or apartment. But a few times a year, when someone stays over, this piece of furniture earns its place twice over.

You do not need to host every other weekend to make one worth owning. Amart's sofa bed collection is designed for everyday Australian homes, from compact apartments right through to main living rooms.

Is a sofa bed worth the space in your home?

For most Aussie homes, a sofa bed is just a sofa. It works as a proper sofa day in, day out, whether you're in a house, unit or apartment. But a few times a year, when someone stays over or family visits from interstate, the sleeping space earns its keep.

You do not need to host every other weekend to make one worth owning. Amart's sofa bed collection is designed for everyday Australian homes, from compact apartments right through to main living rooms.

What sizes do Amart sofa beds come in?

Amart's range of sofa beds spans from a compact single-seat chair through to a corner chaise with storage. With seater sofa beds in every size, the right choice depends on your room and how you use it.

• Sofa bed chairs – This one-seater, also known as a single sofa bed, suits a studio or home office.
• 2 seater sofa beds – A space-saving fit for compact living spaces, with 2.5-seater options available too.
• 3 seater sofa beds – Both suit mid-size living rooms, including 3.5-seater options with more floor space.
• Queen and double sofa beds – These suit guest rooms where visitors stay and need a full sleeping surface.
• Chaise sofa beds – With 4-seater and 6-seater sofa beds available, these come in RHF and LHF options for larger living areas.
• Corner chaise with storage – This has a built-in hidden space for bedding and extras, making it a practical pick for main living rooms.

Should you choose a pull-out or click-clack sofa bed?

Both pull-out and click-clack sofa beds do the job well. The choice comes down to how you plan to use the sleeping function and how much room you have.

• Pull-out sofa beds, also called fold-out sofa beds, extend a mattress from the base for a dedicated sleeping surface. Allow for floor clearance when fully open.
• Click-clack sofa beds fold the backrest flat quickly, so the seat and back cushions become the sleeping surface, with a compact footprint. This is also how futons work.

Amart carries both pull-out and click-clack sofa beds.

How do you choose the right sofa bed for your room?

Once you have a size and mechanism in mind, the next step is making sure the sofa bed fits your room properly. From there, three details are worth getting right:

• Chaise orientation: LHF and RHF chaise sofa configurations let you position the chaise on whichever side suits your room layout.
• Storage: The corner chaise with storage sofa bed has hidden space for bedding and extra items, a smart choice for rooms where storage is tight.
• Upholstery: Fabric sofa beds suit families, leather-look cleans easily, leather sofa beds are durable with a refined look, and velvet adds texture and warmth. Choose based on how your household lives, not just which material looks best.

Amart sofa beds come in fabric, leather-look, genuine leather and velvet, available across all seat configurations and in multiple colours.

Are sofa beds comfortable enough to sleep on?

Sofa beds are comfortable to sleep on, and the right one depends on how you plan to use it. For the occasional overnight guest, a click-clack or pull-out with a foam mattress is perfectly adequate. A pull-out with a durable innerspring mattress suits regular or nightly use best.

For everyday use as a sleeping space, approach it the way you would any new bed purchase. All Amart sofa beds come with a Quality Guarantee warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

How do you keep a sofa bed in good condition?

Regular upkeep keeps a sofa bed in good shape for lounging and sleeping, and the right approach depends on the upholstery. It also pays to fold the sofa bed away clean and check the pull-out or click-clack mechanism now and then.

• Fabric. Vacuum the seat cushions regularly and spot clean any spills before they set.
• Leather-look and genuine leather. Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed and keep harsh cleaners away from the surface.
• Velvet. Brush lightly in one direction to keep the pile neat and avoid getting the fabric too wet.

Amart’s optional SmartCare Plan provides five-year protection against accidental stains, rips and burns, available at the time of purchase.
