How Can I Make My Sofa Bed More Comfortable?

Many customers who visit our showroom ask, how can I make my sofa bed more comfortable?

A sofa bed has inherent advantages. To begin with, they may quickly transform a lounge or living room into an extra bedroom for guests to stay in. They are highly comfortable and versatile pieces of furniture which can be used during the day or night.

Invest in a good quality mattress pad for your sofa sleeper

Get yourself a mattress pad (or "topper"). Mattress pads come in different sizes and thicknesses—you'll need to get one that fits your bed perfectly. If you're going with a memory foam mattress pad, measure the width and depth to prevent shrinkage after washing.

Ensure that the mattress topper is the right size for the sofa bed. If it is too small or large it would be uncomfortable and ruin the overall aesthetic of the room. This will give the sofa bed more padding and help make it more comfortable.

Use a featherbed or down comforter to add extra comfort

If you're looking for a way to make your sofa bed even more comfortable, adding a featherbed or down comforter can help add extra softness and comfort. These are two of the most common ways to add some extra plushness to your sofa bed and make it more comfortable.

• Featherbed: It is just a giant pillow made out of feathers. This is especially popular among our customers who like to sleep on their sofas. Feather beds are a great addition to your sofa bed because they provide a soft cushion that will make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud.
• Down comforters: These are extremely fluffy blankets. They are especially great for chilly winter nights. Down comforters are also lightweight so you can throw them in the laundry if they get dirty or stained.

Place a foam pad over the mattress for extra cushioning

If you like to have extra cushioning on your sofa bed, then adding a foam pad over the mattress is a great option. The foam pad will add an extra layer of comfort and softness to the bed. Also, it helps in avoiding stains and mattress damage.

The foam pad comes in many assorted sizes making it easily fit on your sofa bed. The price range for this type of product is reasonable and affordable for most of our clients who want to add more padding to their sofa beds.

The Big Bag Sofa Bed by Campeggi provides back support thanks to its self-supporting cushions. Its small size is also perfect for cosier living spaces while also adding a pop of colour.

Buy a slipcover made from a soft fabric

You might want to think about getting a slipcover for your couch bed if you regularly use it for sleeping. The benefit of doing this is that it will shield the couch bed from dirt and stains, thus prolonging its lifespan.

We recommend looking for a slipcover made from a soft fabric like cotton or polyester. You don't have to be concerned about the fabric getting soiled or ruined because it is simple to clean. A simple vacuum over the surface of the sofa is enough to remove any dust. If your sofa bed has any fresh stains, wipe them away with a clean, damp cloth.

Whether you're looking for some inspiration or already have an idea in mind, our interior design project portfolio will help get you started on the right track.

Add some throw pillows for extra support

Throw pillows are a great way to add extra comfort and support to your sofa beds, especially if you're seeking a more traditional look. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and colours, so you can find something that works for you.

The Como Chaise Longue by Brabbu will match perfectly with light-coloured pillows for a minimalist style. It’s also made with cotton velvet which is known for its beautiful shine and softness. If you have pets, this sofa is great for you since its tightly woven fabric makes it easy to vacuum hair and dust.

One of the best things about throw pillows is that they're easy to change out when you get tired of them—so if you have young children or pets who love to play with them, this might be a good option for you!
