Chairbeds, Foam Cube Beds, Kids Sofa Beds
Kids love nothing better than a fun furniture addition to their bedroom, especially if it means they can have friends and relatives sleep overnight.
Safety is always in mind when buying for children, one popular idea is a bed chair, or sofa bed made from foam. Simple to flop out like a Z bed, and simple to fold away again, chairbeds are a firm favourite with children and parents alike.
At Christmas it is expected that sometime over the festive period and New Year, there will be a good chance that a guest bed will be in need. Choosing the right guest bed is straightforward depending on the age or size of the guest. Here’s the Comfy Living guide for kids and adults sofa beds and futons.
If you’re on a budget and your little ones have invited over the cousins to stop overnight, a cheap and practical bed solution would be a foam cube bed.
These handy cubes double as a chair/stool as well as flopping out into a single bed perfect for kids up to the age of around 12. Look to buy a colour that would hide dirt the most – sometimes black is not the best colour, a chocolate brown or tan colour could be a better choice!
For older children a larger foam chair bed, or a double sofa bed would be a good consideration.
With the low weight of a foam type filling, these fun furniture items are both practical and modern, as well as providing a comfortable sleeping area for teenagers and light adults. Sofa beds are suitable for 2 small children to share, up to around 5 years old depending on the height of the child.
With adults to accommodate, look no further than a traditional futon. The futon base can be solid pine or a metal action futon. Consider the depth of mattress when buying a futon, mattress range from a 9cm depth to a luxury 14cm thick futon mattress. Look for a cotton drill cover as these will be available in a range of modern and funky dyed colours.
