  • I am searching for ideas and inspiration for sofas / daybeds combo. I quite like this one: normal 90x200 mattress size, light in looks, can be DIYed, then a thicker duvet cover (which can be cleaned easily), and thick pillows in the back for sitting. Maybe someone has other examples of sofas with no-modification-daybed function?

  • All of those make my back ache just looking at them.
    For any comfortable sitting option on a soft surface I’d say requirements are slopes on the seat and backrest.

  • When we were looking there are two options:

    1. Sofabeds you can comfortably sit on
    2. Sofabeds you can comfortably sleep on

    Your starting point need to be what it's main function will be. The one in our eldest's room needed to be a viable second bed. This means it looks a bit shit and isn't that comfortable for prolonged sitting.

  • Never experienced one that isn't akin to a torture device. Terrible for sitting, terrible for sleeping, the 'mattress' material is often just shredded fabric offcuts, felt and lint which quickly form huge crators after a few months occasional use.
    An actual sofa, with a frame welded on the ends and a hammock strung cross it for sleeping, would be an ugly, but so much better solution.
