That doesn't mean that you'll want to go cheap, but just spend wisely and make sure you're getting the best value for money possible. On this guide we'll try show you the best ways to save money, but also get a quality sofa bed from Argos and Tesco. These are great places to find quality cheap sofa beds.

Things to Look for in a Sofa Bed

Lets all stick up for the humble sofa bed. No home should not have one of these functional pieces of furniture. A sofa and a bed all rolled in to one, taking up the same amount of space. What's not to like? Other than it gives relatives and place to sleep, that is.

So whether you want to put one in a spare room., office room or even as your main sofa in your living room in a smaller home, a sofa bed has the flexibility to be all these. The modern ones are far better than the uncomfortable ones of old we all remember as kids.

To make sure you'll be getting a good nights sleep, you'll ant to consider mattresses quality, size of the bed and fabrics and fillings too. Here are a few things to think about.

Amount of use One thing to consider is how much use the sofa bed will get. Not only as a sleeping bed, but how often it will be used as a sofa. If it's going to be in the main room, or a games room that will be used often, then it will need to be fairly decent and tackle the wear and tear of this use.

Type of mattress If it's not going to be used all that often a cheap sofa bed with a thin mattress will be more than perfect. If you're looking for a thick mattress, especially a memory form, or other quality mattress filling, then be ready to pay a little more. This will be better value for money in the long run however, as it will last a lot longer than a cheaper sofa bed would.

Space for sofa bed When thinking about the size of your sofa bed. Don't forget to consider the size of the bed once it has been opened out. Makes sure if fits, and also that it's not to tight of a squeeze that people can't walk around the room when opened. You really want to be doing this before looking, and defiantly before ordering, as retuning such large items can be a real pain.

Know your budget A sofa bed is a fairly large purchase, so it's best to get the best bed you can afford. And also get the best value for money out of it too. This is even more important if you'll be using it a lot. When thinking how much you want to spend, it's also worth thinking about things like side tables, and furniture to match your cheap sofa bed. This is also another reason to measure up the space for your sofa bed. Sofa beds that are squeezed into tight spaces never look their best. But when dressed with nice furniture they can really look nice just on their own.

A good way to get a visual on how much room a sofa bed will take up is to mark out the area with newspaper. This way you can see if any draws or doors will be obstructed when it's opened. This will help you to also figure out what furniture will fit in with it too. A closed in sofa bed can feel claustrophobic if it barely fits in the room. Once you know the size of the sofa bed you'll be able to get, just look at the measurements of the sofas on sale from Argos and Tesco.

Looking after your sofa bed Taking good care of your sofa bed will not only keep it lasting longer, it will also make it more comfortable for when guests come to use it. If it's not been used as a bed for a while, then air it overnight once every month or so. This will help to keep it's shape and help the mechanisms keep working properly. Turning the mattress frequently is also another good way to get the best out of your sofa bed.

Washing your sofa bed When you want to give your sofa bed a good cleaning, some guest may not be as fresh as others, then it's best to follow the guidelines for that specific sofa bed. Giving it a good weekly vacuum and a wiping too will never do it any harm though. It's also best to avoid any direct sunlight as this can fade the material. This is a good tip for any home furnishings that you have.
