I wasted £800 on a sofa bed that left my guests opting to sleep on the floor – this is what I wish I knew back then

A narrow white living room with a small blue velvet sofa positioned away from the wall.

As Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, I've learnt a *lot* about sofa beds over the past four years.

During that time, I've tested the best sofa beds on the market, and in doing so, I've been able to compare features and specifications to see what makes for a good sitting and sleeping experience, and what doesn't.
