Living spaces seem to decrease as the demand for housing in London increases. Furnishing small spaces can be very challenging. However, with a little creativity you can create a comfortable living space worth envying.

One of the most basic things to consider when furnishing small spaces is the use of multifunctional furniture. The most common piece of multifunctional furniture found in small spaces is the sofa bed.

It is important to ensure that you purchase a high quality sofa bed. After all, this piece of furniture is not cheap. You will want to ensure that it lasts a long time and is comfortable. The following tips will help you select a suitable sofa bed for your apartment.

• Sofa beds London are much heavier than regular sofas. This is because of they come with a mattress and are installed with the mechanisms that assist in transforming them from sofas into beds and vice versa. It is therefore important to ensure that the transformation does not require moving the sofa bed around. You should therefore shop for a sofa bed that will fit the available space in both the sofa and bed positions.

• When you visit a London furniture store in search of a sofa bed, ensure that you test it. Have the sales person show you how to transform it into a bed and back into a sofa. Ensure that you can safely and easily carry out the transformation. Some sofa beds have mechanisms that are heavy duty and may be difficult to operate. You don’t want to be stuck with a sofa bed that you can’t transform once you have it in your home. What would be the point of purchasing one in the first place?

• Test the mattress on the sofa bed. Some sofa beds make comfortable sofas but do not have comfortable mattresses. It is important to purchase a sofa bed that provides comfort both as a sofa and as a bed.

• Just like with any other furniture London, ensure that the sofa bed fits into your lifestyle. Choose a sofa bed that suits your taste and requirements. If you have pets and young children over to your apartment for example, you should ensure that the upholstery on the sofa bed is easy to clean and of a darker colour.

Sofa beds can be useful even when you choose to move to larger home. You should therefore ensure that you take your time to choose a sofa bed that will last for a long time to come. Choose a style that can easily blend with other pieces.
