5 expert tips for choosing a modern sofa bed 

Selecting the right modern sofa bed for your home can enhance both the look and feel of your living space. Here are some tips to make the best choice: 

1. Consider the room’s functionality: If you’re considering a sofa bed for your home office, the ReoGrand offers the perfect balance of functionality and modern comfort. Seamlessly transition from working at your desk to the sofa, with its high back support during the day, and a luxurious bed for restful nights. In multifunctional spaces, opting for a modern modular sofa bed, like the Delta Sofa, would be a great option as you can seat more guests during the day and then reconfigure to a queen bed at night.
   
   
2. Choose the right fabric: For a modern interior, the right fabric or leather choice is essential. Opt for performance fabrics like Richmond in neutral tones like gray, beige, or charcoal for a sleek, minimalist look that resists wear and tear. For a touch of luxury, consider Preston Velvet in jewel tones or structured weaves with subtle texture. Linen blends like Boyd or Hamilton also work well for a light, airy aesthetic. If you prefer leather, semi-aniline or full-grain options like TrueTouch or Prestige in deep tones like tan, black, or mocha offer a timeless modern appeal. At King Living, our sofa beds are made to order in your choice of premium fabrics and leathers, ensuring both durability and contemporary style to suit your space.
   
   
3. Prioritise comfort: A sofa bed should be as comfortable for sleeping as it is for sitting. With our modern ever-changing lifestyles and smaller living spaces a comfortable sofa bed for guests is paramount. Look for options like the ReoGrand, which features a built-in Sleep+ Mattress and high-resilience foam for superior support. Sofa beds with memory foam or high-quality cushioning provide guests with a restful night’s sleep, ensuring comfort doesn’t have to be sacrificed. 
   
   
4. Evaluate functionality and ease of use: A sofa bed’s ease of conversion is key, especially if you’ll be using it regularly to accommodate guests. Contemporary designs like the Oscar Sofa Bed, which doesn’t require the back cushions to be removed, make transforming from a sofa to a bed simple. 
   
   
5. Find the right style to complement your decor: Consider how the sofa bed design will fit your existing textures, tonal colors, and overall contemporary aesthetic. For a minimal and sleek look, the Felix Studio Bed is ideal, while the ReoGrand Sofa Bed brings a touch of luxury with its elegant silhouette. Choosing a sofa bed that aligns with your decor ensures it enhances the room’s modern style rather than disrupting it. 

The right modern style sofa bed should be a piece you can rely on without compromising on style or comfort. At King Living, each sofa bed is meticulously designed with a balance of aesthetics and functionality. Whether you’re looking for elegance or something more practical, every sofa bed combines contemporary design and ultimate comfort.
