Measure up:

First step is to look for the space where you are going to place the sofa; measure the space that is available in room for placement. Make sure that you are having enough space to open the sofa bed fully when desired. If you have plenty of space, then go for a large piece which will accommodate more people in time of need and will provide space to sleeper to stretch out. Make sure that if you are going to open the sofa bed fully; it does not block any door, window, cubit or walking area.  Also keep in mind the measurements of the main door and room door because you have to enter and pass the sofa from these doors. Write down all the measurements and take it along with you when going for shopping.

Quality measures:

Likewise the other types of furniture; the quality of sofa bed is very important. It should be of high quality so that it may last longer instead of buying low quality and cheaper sofa beds. The sofa bed must fulfill all the quality measures of British standards. Look at the quality of sofa cushions too. The foam of cushions must be high class so that it may give comfort to the sleeper. These beds are going to be used by you on regular basis instead of occasional; that’s why you need sturdiness. The color and style must also be looked carefully.

Mattresses:

Another important component of sofa bed is mattress. Some of the sofa beds have foam mattress and some have spring mattress. Spring mattresses are firmer and durable than the foam mattresses. If you are going to use your sofa bed on regular basis then the best option is spring mattress. However you may also prefer soft mattress if you are more comfortable and used to it, or if you are going to use it occasionally.  

Upholstery:

Select such type of upholstery which is more elegant, smooth, qualitative and easy to clean. Many retailers in the market are providing stain resistant fabrics on the sleepers which are the best option if you are having kids in your home. If you are going to purchase many furniture items at the same time then you may purchase a set of sofa bed along with tables that are having same design.

Online retailers:

You must look for online sources first. These sources provide you huge versatile range and also offer discounted rates. They also offer you home delivery service.
