7 reasons why you’re better off with a sofa bed rather than a spare bed!

If you’re anything like me, making the bed is a workout. Getting the sheets out of the linen press, clearing around your bed to make sure nothing is in your way, painfully pulling that bottom sheet around every corner. My goodness, it’s no fun is it? What’s worse, is when you have a spare bed that sits there and gathers dust that the kids and grandkids might occasionally use, so you find yourself washing sheets and making beds far more than you’d like to. But what if you could still have all of the perks of a spare bed for the kids and grandkids, but less work?*


A sofa bed* is an excellent alternative to a traditional bed because they offer a unique combination of functionality, convenience, and style that caters specifically to the needs of someone who really only needs a spare bed a couple of times a month. By providing a dual-purpose piece of furniture that maximises space and adapts to accommodate guests, a sofa bed is an ideal choice for older Australians* looking to simplify their lives without compromising on comfort.

This is a repeat of an article from May of this year. I stand by my original comments. It’s much more of a chore to make up a sofa bed than it is is to keep a bed made up. Certainly I do have a sofa bed which is used occasionally but when we have visitors it’s the regular spare bed that is used first. They are great if you have limited space.
stop with the grizzling. it is an option for anyone, not only you. OPTIONAL.

Although how long has the bed been made up I do think guests like to sleep in fresh sheets
 
Another alternative is a daybed. My partner has a day bed from IKEA in one of his bedrooms, which can be used as a sofa when not in use, as a single bed and, by pulling out the extension, as a queen bed. He also has another guest room with a queen bed.
I have this bed from Ikea as well, in my room in Germany where I stay every time I fly over (at least once a year). Its very comfortable. I usually use it as a single bed, so all I have to do in the morning is to,put the blanket and pillow in one of the drawers, take the cushions outnof the other drawer and the room is changed from a bed room to a sitting room.

I’ve yet to find a sofa bed that is as comfortable as a real bed. If you want to save space, a wall bed is a better option, as it will have a proper inner-spring mattress.
