Choosing the right eco-friendly sofa bed is key for small-space living. In compact homes, every item must earn its keep, and modern sofa beds do just that - providing both comfort and functionality without taking up excess room. Measure carefully, including clearance when opened, and prioritise models with smooth, simple mechanisms and solid wood frames. Dual comfort is essential - look for thick mattresses and supportive seating. Sustainable materials like recycled fabrics or responsibly sourced wood enhance environmental value. Bonus points for hidden storage, ideal for bedding or clutter. Opt for durable, low-maintenance upholstery suitable for frequent use. Though premium models cost more, they save space and last longer.
