Updated for 2025.
The hunt for the most comfortable sofa bed is over, decorating junkies. Because I’ve found some phenomenal options for you. And most of them don’t even slightly resemble the creepy sofa beds of the past.
Sofa beds have come a long way, let’s face it. Remember the old versions? Not only did the metal squeak and creek, but they were so uncomfortable. You pretty much required major spinal manipulation from a qualified physio after a spending a night on one. It was not cute.
Thankfully, those days are over. In this post I’ve made the search for the most comfortable sofa bed that much easier for you. And you know me; I’ve included super-affordable options and then thrown in some splurge pieces that are totally worth the investment.
I haven’t gone super cheap though. Because, honestly, I don’t want you buying something your guests will dread sleeping on. The other great thing about this roundup: you won’t even need to road test them because they’re clearly comfortable. No old-school metal in sight (well, for the most part).
1. Aero Single Sofa Bed
Kicking off my roundup of the best sofa beds online is this bad boy. He is the lowest in price, so it seems like a good place to start. But I also really like that the Aero Single Sofa Bed from Temple & Webster encourages you to think outside the box.
Perhaps you don’t need a double or queen sofa bed. Or perhaps this can act as a second place for a guest to sleep outside of your larger bed. This is also an amazing option for a small space as it has such a slim profile. It ticks a lot of boxes and looks so plush.
2. Lana Sofa Bed
Can we start with how lush and luxe this Lana Sofa Bed from Brosa looks? If you’re into a velvet vibe then I say you need a little of this in your life. Not only is the upholstery divine, but get a load of the legs.
There’s a lot to appreciate here, and getting it up and down is a cinch. It also happens to come in three glorious colours: navy (seen above), dusty rose and bottle green. It’s a jewel-toned fantasy if I ever saw one.
This sofa bed was taken from our sofas for small living rooms roundup, if you want to take a look at some of the options over there.
3. Friheten Sofa Bed
I actually had the Friheten Sofa Bed in my own home and I’m impressed with how well it held up. It’s definitely one of the most comfortable sofa beds I’ve ever slept on.
I’ve actually written a dedicated review on this one, titled Should You Buy the Friheten Sofa Bed? if you want to give it a look. Guests always comment on what a good sleep they had. You can’t beat that sort of feedback.
When it comes to the best sofa beds for price and comfort, definitely consider this one.
4. Maddox Fabric Sofa Bed
Now this is the only option in my roundup of the best sofa beds that has an old-school vibe. Sure, there are some metal moments in this one, but I have to forgive it because the look and feel of this sofa bed is so glorious.
Sporting a delicious mid-Century vibe, this Maddox Fabric Sofa Bed from Freedom is packed with comfort and support. And when it’s folded up it does look truly stylish.
5. Koala Sofa Bed

Which is your fave from my list of most comfortable sofa beds? Is there a sofa bed you’ve purchased recently that I could include in the list? Drop me a comment below and let me know. I’d love to hear from you.
Hi, we bought the Friheten Sofa Bed and we find it to be very uncomfortable both as a sofa and as a bed. The cushions are extremely firm. Perhaps it would work better with a mattress topper, but otherwise it was a huge mistake.
