Choosing a new piece of furniture for your home is always a big decision, and not one that should be rushed into or taken lightly. The current economic downturn has caused many people to downsize, meaning that they will be moving into a smaller space and may be forced to adjust their furniture accordingly. Oftentimes that means replacing the traditional sofa with a sofa bed, a practical purchase for those looking to save space. Here are 10 things to consider when it comes time to purchase that new sofa bed.

Budget

Before spending a penny on your sofa bed, decide how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. It’s easy to be sucked in by a beautiful looking piece, but it’s not worth spending more than you can afford. Have a look at our catalogue of cheap sofa beds for great bargains and deals.

Space

Decide where the sofa bed is going to be placed in your home and measure that area before you buy. Budget sofa beds come in all shapes and sizes, so be sure you get one that fits your space without overpowering the rest of the room.

Size

It’s not just space that’s a factor, the size of the sofa bed is important too. There is little point in buying a huge corner unit if you live alone and seldom have visitors so be sure to factor this point in before making your final decision.

Style

Cheap sofa beds come in a number of different looks, some very modern looking, and others more in the traditional sofa mold. Choose the style that bests suits the rest of the room (colour, style and so on), unless of course you are re-designing around the sofa.

Colour

This is another important aspect of the style, and you will want to go with a colour that best complements the rest of your space and other pieces of furniture in the room.

Fabric

This decision will hinge on a number of factors; a micro-fibre style may be good for most, but some will prefer the luxury and easy cleaning style of leather so be sure to think about this. Also, different fabrics can be more expensive than others, while cheap sofa beds often come in faux leather or cotton options.

Mattress

It’s not just the seating part of the sofa bed that you have to be concerned with, especially if it is going to be regularly used as a bed. Comfort, thickness and type (memory foam etc.) all have to be considered as well.

Delivery

If you are looking for cheap sofa beds, then it’s also important to pay attention to whether or not the store, land based or online, charges for delivery. Try to find a place that has a sofa bed you love and that delivers for free or for a small fee.

Construction

Many cheap sofa beds come as kits that have to be built by you yourself at home. If you are not comfortable carrying this task out yourself, then look for a company that offers free delivery and set-up.

The cheap sofa bed market is large and diverse, so it should be relatively easy to find a piece that meets all those criteria; don’t settle for second best and keep looking until you find the piece that is perfect for you.
