1) Sofa Beds

Sofa Beds are the classic piece of furniture you need to make the most of your space.

Sofa beds are great for smaller one-bed apartments or studios in need of some extra room.

Choose between a 1, 2 or 3-seater styles (based on the size of your space) and enjoy the plush pocket sprung fabric, built-in cup holders and side pocket storage. Simply pull out the base to create a larger area and then fold down the backrest to set up your bed! It’s that easy.

Daybeds

A daybed is a 2-in-1 piece of furniture that serves as both a bed and a sofa. It’s the latest homeware trend to know about, providing more than just the perfect place to laze around at the weekend.

Daybeds arrive with extra space underneath that can be utilised for hiding away clutter. As they are smaller than a standard-sized bed, they help to open up the space of your room. A daybed is also a handy solution in a children’s playroom as it allows you to maximise their play area – and some even arrive with a pull-out trundle bed underneath, which is great for accommodating guests.

It even arrives in two colourways, so you can find the perfect colour to suit your aesthetic.
