Quality sofa beds that don't look like sofa beds
Updated
We're not sure when it happened, but sofa beds have had a glow-up.
No longer are they a mammoth, creaking thing that somehow fails at being a sofa and also fails at being a bed. This new generation of sofa beds does both spectacularly well – plus, they're stylish and exceptionally easy to set up.
We've rounded up our favourite new-age sofa beds from Koala, Ecosa and Eva. All have a few things in common: they utilise modern design, they arrive at your doorstep within a week and they're a breeze to assemble.
Keep reading to see what sets them apart so you can choose the right one for you.

Eva Slideaway Sofa Bed, 3 Seater
Eva sofa bed Eva
We love the Eva Slideaway Sofa Bed for what it's bringing to the table. Unlike the other quick roll-out-to-the-floor types what gives us a little pause is the length of the sofa. You wouldn't want your guests to be taller than around 5"9 or their feet will be hanging off the edge. Is this a dealbreaker? Not in our eyes. The clever layout and Scandi-slash-Japanese look more than make up for this potential shortfall.
Our pick for: Most innovative design
Koala Stunner Sofa Bed, 3 Seater
Koala sofa bed Koala
If you have room for a three-seater, the Koala Stunner is another premium option. It has inbuilt storage and a pull-out trundle that'll keep the bed off the ground. Some reviewers have commented that it's a little shallow as a couch, but that comes down to preference. Utilise that Koala trial period to find out if it works for you.
Our pick for: An off-the-ground sleep experience
