Finding a sofa bed that functions beautifully as both everyday seating and a proper bed seems impossible - until you discover Furl. Most sofa beds force compromise: flimsy mechanisms that break within months, thin mattresses leaving guests uncomfortable, or bulky designs dominating rooms even when folded. Furl reimagined the entire category, creating premium sofa beds you'll genuinely want to use daily while maintaining luxurious aesthetics worthy of design magazines.
Handcrafted in Nottingham since 2007, every Furl sofa bed transforms from elegant sofa to proper bed-height sleeping surface in seconds. Deep mattresses (up to 18cm thick) rival your actual bed, mechanisms open 3 seconds flat without removing cushions, and bespoke fabrics ensure each piece integrates seamlessly into your home. These aren't guest room afterthoughts - they're investment furniture designed for everyday luxury.
Here are five exceptional Furl sofa beds combining everyday comfort with premium design, each suited to different spaces and style preferences.
Starting from £2,595

Furl sofa beds use traditional UK bed sizes - single, small double, double, king - not compressed "sofa bed" dimensions. You get proper space to spread out, just like sleeping in an actual bed.
Mattresses up to 18cm deep with proper bed-height frames mean guests experience genuine bed comfort, not thin foam pads barely qualifying as sleeping surfaces.
Furl mechanisms transform sofa to bed in one swift motion without removing cushions, finding storage space for pillows, or wrestling with frames.
Five-year mechanism warranties, two-year upholstery warranties, and robust steel construction prove these sofa beds withstand daily opening, not just occasional guest use.
Hundreds of premium fabrics including luxury velvets, bouclés, and leathers ensure each sofa bed integrates seamlessly into your specific aesthetic.
Nottingham-based manufacturing means quality control, repairability, and supporting British craftsmanship.
