Sofa bed mattresses have never been known for their comfort. They’re too thin, too short and quite honestly too uncomfortable to have a good night’s sleep on. There are lots of sofa beds on the market with incredibly slim mattresses, some of which are only 8cm thick!

Furl’s sofa beds, however, are designed to be used every day as your main bed, they’re that comfortable! We have three thick sofa bed mattresses to choose from – and by thick, we mean 18cm! Almost double what most other retailers offer.

Thick Sofa Bed Mattresses For Everyday Use

1. Pocket sprung

Pocket-sprung sofa bed mattresses are designed with individual springs encased in fabric pockets, offering tailored support across the mattress. This traditional design ensures even distribution of support, making it a medium/firm mattress that provides excellent comfort for a restful night's sleep.

2. Reflex 45

Slightly firmer than our pocket sprung mattress, Reflex foam is known for its responsiveness as it quickly adjusts to your movements, reducing pressure points and promoting proper spinal alignment. This type of foam is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites too, making it a great choice for those with allergies too.

3. Memory foam

If you like memory foam, you’ll love this mattress. It offers exceptional pressure-relieving properties for a comfortable night’s sleep. Memory foam has the power to minimise motion transfer, making it ideal for couples. Plus, the body-conforming nature of memory foam evenly distributes body weight, relieving pressure points and joint pain too.

How Thick Should A Sofa Bed Mattress Be?

The average sofa bed mattress is only 8-9 cm thick and 180 cm long. This might be okay for one or two nights, but if you plan to sleep on your sofa bed regularly, you’ll need something thicker.

At Furl, our thick sofa bed mattresses are between 12 and 18 cm deep and two metres long (6’6”). Making them the perfect choice if you’re planning on sleeping on your sofa bed every night or you want to provide your guests with a more luxurious sleep when they come to stay.

If you’ve got an old sofa bed with a thin mattress, you could also consider adding a topper to make it thicker and more comfortable. At two inches thick, sofa bed mattress toppers add a cushioning layer of comfort to hard, thin mattresses. Here’s some tips to make your current sofa bed more comfortable if you’re not quite ready to upgrade to a new one just yet.

Are Sofa Beds Comfortable?

Sofa bed design has come a long way in recent years, and it’s now possible to buy a sofa bed you can sleep on every night. With longer, thicker mattresses and sturdier bed frames, today’s sofa beds are more than comfortable for a full night’s rest.

If you’re looking for a sofa bed with a thick mattress, our Metro range has the deepest, most luxurious mattress ever seen on a sofa bed. This contemporary sofa comes in five sizes with four different arm options and hundreds of colours to choose from too..

You can also choose from a pocket sprung, reflex foam, or memory foam mattress that are up to 18cm thick. Allowing you to tailor the sleep experience around your individual preferences.
