Sofa Beds for Studio Apartments

The number of studio apartments in fast-growing cities across the UK is on the rise, particularly in city centres where housing is in high demand. In the past decade, studio flats and studio apartments have become increasingly popular across the UK. An apartment that is self-contained is defined as a studio apartment. A typical open-plan apartment consists of a bedroom, living room, and kitchen, with a separate bathroom.

Sofabeds are perfect for studio apartments due to their small size and flexibility in use. During the day, why not use the sofa element to relax and watch tv or read a book, then open it up at night to sleep deeply on or welcome guests. Our compact sofa beds are great to fit in any small space whilst functional all year round.  In this blog, we will look at the benefits of each style and why they work for your studio apartment.

Compact Sofa Bed

Compact sofa beds are smaller in size due to their lack of armrests. The reduced constructed surfaces allow a compact sofa bed to be used in a studio apartment which can often lack space. These sofa beds still have all of the features of a regular-sized sofa bed but can be more practical for a studio apartment.

Madrid Sofa Bed

The Madrid Sofabed is a compact piece of furniture, but it will comfortably seat 2 people and fit in any small apartment. This is also an excellent choice for guest rooms, home offices, apartments, and any size living space since it can be moved upstairs more easily than other models.  This sofa looks great in contemporary minimalist upholstery with vibrant colour choices because of its modern design.

Gothenburg Sofa Bed

The Gothenburg Sofa bed is a compact 2-seater sofabed that can be made to suit any interior design style. Built with a tall backrest, this sofa bed allows for daytime usage while taking up minimum space in a small room. Whilst creating comfortable everyday use, a small sofa bed of this design can turn into a comfortable guest bed to give any visitors a good night’s sleep in a different environment. Open-plan small studio apartments can sometimes be difficult to minimise sound so offering a bed frame that can create a deep sleep is always appreciated by guests.

Statement Box Bed

Box beds,  fit in any home decor and are multifunctional and similar in size to a Scandinavian coffee table. Although they do not have backrests or back cushions, these sofas can still be used as an extra seat to replace a modern sofa before being extended into a single or small double bed for guests. Any multi-use pieces of furniture are suitable for spare rooms and growing in popularity in studio apartments. 

Sussex Single Box Bed

In addition to being our smallest piece of furniture, the Sussex Single Box Bed also fits almost any floor space anywhere.  If you live in a studio apartment, caravan, or canal boat, or have a narrow doorway or spiral staircase, this may be the perfect choice for you- simply throwa topper over it to change its look every day.  To use as a bed rather than a  pouffe or even a sectional piece of furniture, simply remove the seat cushion and fold out the sofabed action. Then add a duvet, and some pillows and enjoy it as a sleeper sofa in a spare bedroom.  A folded out sofabed can be reclined into a small single bed, which makes it perfect for guests and sleepovers.  With its foam filling and trampoline base, this bed mimics the feel and comfort of a fully sprung mattress.

Cheshire Double Box Bed

As our smallest 2-seater sofabed, the Cheshire Double Box Bed can be placed anywhere.  This solution is perfect for people with caravans, canal boats, narrow doorways, or spiral staircases.  Although the Cheshire Double Boxbed is smaller, it is manufactured exactly as our larger 2-seater sofabeds. The bed folds up into a central footrest or pouffe that can be moved into any area of your studio apartment for extra seating or to add different room ideas to a regulated space.

Stylish Alternative Day Bed

A Daybed, is similar to a chaise lounge or loveseat, comes with two armrests but no backrest. The cushions used with the armrest are usually moved to help form a headrest when the day bed is transformed and pushed against a wall for extra support. We offer four styles of compact day beds to match various home styles and limited spaces in studio apartments.
