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.
Whether you need a luxury sofa bed for everyday use as your primary sleep surface, or a sofa bed for everyday sleeping that still looks exceptional as a sofa - these five options represent the best of what's available in the UK right now.
Starting from £2,595

If you're looking for comfortable sofa beds for everyday use that don't compromise on design, the answer comes down to six things Furl does differently from the rest of the market.
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.
Absolutely. Furl builds every sofa bed for everyday use as both sofa and bed. Five-year mechanism warranties and robust construction prove these aren't occasional-use furniture. Many customers use Furl sofa beds as their primary bed nightly.
Furl mattresses (up to 18cm thick) rival standalone bed mattresses. Pocket Spring, Reflex Foam, and Memory Foam options provide the same comfort and support you'd expect from a quality standalone mattress.
Yes! Furl's bespoke service accepts customer-supplied fabric (must be fire retardant to UK standards). This creates truly personalised furniture matching existing décor perfectly.
Furl delivers and professionally installs within 6-8 weeks of ordering. Delivery teams assemble furniture in your room, demonstrate operation, and remove all packaging. No DIY assembly required.
Furl furniture delivers in sections designed to navigate tight spaces. The professional delivery team assesses access during ordering and installation, ensuring your sofa bed reaches its destination regardless of challenging staircases or narrow doorways.
Five years on mechanisms, two years on upholstered parts, one year on mattresses and accessories. Furl designs products to last lifetimes and repairs any faults during product lifetime.
Yes. Furl operates showrooms in London (open 7 days, late Thursdays until 8pm) and a Nottingham workshop (by appointment) where you can test every model before ordering.
Furl sofa beds prove premium quality and everyday practicality aren't mutually exclusive. Whether you need a sofa bed for everyday sleeping or a luxury sofa bed for everyday use that doubles as your main living room furniture, these five options are the best the UK market has to offer.
The best way to know whether a sofa bed will work for everyday use is to actually lie on one. Visit our showrooms in Swiss Cottage, Fulham, or the Barbican.
