The sofa bed is one of the most practical sofa beds for optimizing space, especially in small apartments, studios, or guest rooms. But one question often comes up: is it really possible to sleep well every day on a sofa bed ? The answer is yes, provided you make the right choices and adopt a few tips. Discover our tips for transforming your sofa bed into a comfortable bed, even if used every day.
What is a click-clack?
The clic-clac is a convertible sofa made up of two separate parts: the seat and the backrest. It unfolds easily thanks to a tilting system (“click” to fold it down, “clack” to open it completely). This type of bed is appreciated for its practicality , its compactness and its affordable price .
Unlike a simple sofa bed , some sofa bed models are designed for daily use, provided you choose a quality mattress .
The criteria for a comfortable everyday sofa bed
Choosing the right mattress
The mattress is the key to comfort. For daily use, choose:
-
A thickness of at least 12 to 15 cm ,
-
A density between 28 and 35 kg/m³ ,
-
Suitable materials: high resilience foam, latex or even memory foam.
A mattress that is too thin or too soft will quickly lead to back pain.
Check the quality of the structure
Comfort also depends on the strength of the bed base. A slatted bed base is preferable to a strap or metal mesh bed base because it offers better support.
Use a mattress topper
If you already have a sofa bed installed but find it too firm or hard, add a mattress topper . This is a simple and effective solution to improve comfort without changing the entire bed.
Maintaining your sofa bed
To maintain comfort over time:
-
Turn the mattress regularly,
-
Vacuum dust to avoid allergens,
-
Check that the mechanism and slats are in good condition.
