5 'Must Know' things when buying sofa beds




How many times have you bought something, say a car, dishwasher, plasma telly and though afterwards 'we really should have asked these questions before we bought !'Same goes for sofa beds - well here we have the top 5 definitive questions and answers.....


1) How often do you wish to use it as a bed ? If rarely, a regular metal action or futon will do - relatively cheap, but upto the job. If daily, a better 2 fold action or delux futon is a must. Preferably with a sprung or memory foam mattress.


2) Will it fit ? Don't get caught out ! Measure door ways with care as it is unlikely the retailer will take the unit back if it dosn't fit.


3) Get fabric samples ! Computer screens vary so order samples to ensure the colours match your decor


4) Noise is important ! If you will be converting the sofabed at 3 am, don't buy something with a big, heavy mechanism that will wake up the whole neighbourhood ! Instead, choose one of our simple actions which can be operated quickly and quietly, such as our popular Bronx sofabed shown above


5) Get the best deal ! Did you know that high street retails can charge around 40% more for the exact same item as online retailers ? Don't pay for fancy showrooms - save money and order online with a reputable company, such as www.sofabedgallery.co.uk
