Getting a corner sofa bed for your house does not mean having to own a piece of furniture that looks like it came from a retirement home. Thanks to trendsetters in European styling, L-shaped corner sofa beds today are contemporary and stylish–people actually want them in their homes!
Since a heavily urban population count has been on the rise, many households call small apartments or studios home nowadays. The need to live in densely populated areas to be close to jobs is a factor for the rise in apartment living. Add on the fact that home loans are much harder to secure than ever before and it is easy to see why metropolitan population has been increasing over the years. This newly urban population has an appetite for fashionably designed furniture and many manufacturers have come to meet this demand. Whatever type of modern décor you may have in your home, there will probably be a similar style sofa bed to match.
A very popular model of sofa bed is the L-shaped sofa which is like a regular sofa except on seat is extended with an elongated built in ottoman, forming the letter “L.” This design can be found in many European manufacturers’ designs and easily convert into extravagant beds. The long section of the L-shaped sofa can pull out to form a rectangular bed that can sleep up to two adults depending on the size.
This type of design, while it looks sophisticated and adds class to your home, has a few drawbacks as well that you should be aware of. The seat cushion is part of the bed (compared to a pullout where the seat cushions are not used) so any wear and tear to the seat will affect the comfort of the bed. If the cushion should get saggy it could make for an uncomfortable sleeping experience. Another drawback of the seat cushion bed design is a compromise between seating and sleeping comfort. For seating, usually a firmer and harder cushion is needed. Since this top padding is the base of the bed which is built on top of the frame, that can make for a hard sleeping surface without any give or bounce.
The L-shape sofa bed is attractive and functional at the same time. It provides a large sleeping surface compared to other sofa bed designs but due to the fact that the cushions are used as part of the bed, there are a few minor issues with the design in terms of sleep comfort.
The sofa bed with the best sleeping comfort uses a special frame just for the bed. Usually, this is made of metal with a mesh support that can be folded in or out of the sofa. This style, combined with a special sofa bed mattress, gives unparalleled sleep comfort compared to other sleeper sofas. There are also many European styles of this sofa bed variety, so a beautiful looking design can still be had.
Whether you opt for the bold look of a trendy L-shape sofa or go for the sleep comfort of a sofa bed with built in bed frame, you will be able to experience the luxury lifestyle associated with European design style.
