The sofa bed & sofa bed as multifunctional quick-change artists

You like to host friends and relatives and need a bed for overnight guests. But you don't have enough space for a bulky guest bed and are looking for a solution for small rooms? 

This makes a sofa bed with bed function the ideal and compact solution for a small flat and for anyone who wants maximum flexibility from their furnishings. Practical: The integrated bed base also provides a home for bed linen.

The sofa bed: the flexible friend from day sofa to sofa bed

As a sofa bed or sofa bed, this piece of furniture with bed function is a real all-rounder. The sofa bed acts as a flexible companion during the night. 

Gone are the days when sofa beds were compromises and offered either good seating comfort or sleeping comfort. In a studio, small flat, one-bedroom flat or guest room, this versatile piece of furniture is an absolute jack-of-all-trades. With a high-quality mattress made of spring core or cold foam, you or your guests will sleep wonderfully at night and wake up refreshed in the morning.

Sofa bed usable from day to night

A sofa bed adapts to your life from day to night. Sofa beds are versatile, practical and space-saving. A born quick-change artist of a piece of furniture, they offer the perfect place to relax and unwind during the day and a comfortable place to sleep at night. Converted in the blink of an eye thanks to ingenious designs, they are the quick and flexible solution for combining living and sleeping in one room or area, whether as a permanent place to sleep or a spontaneous sleeping option for surprise guests. 

The space-saving benefits of a sofa bed are particularly appreciated in a small flat or flat. Depending on whether you sleep on it every day, it is important to pay attention to comfort and features. For example, many models offer mattresses with spring core upholstery, slatted frames or other comfort options for restful nights.

High-quality fabric and leather covers

In addition to comfort, the design of the extendable upholstered furniture also plays an important role. While some people prefer fabric as the cover that dreams are made of, others are absolute leather lovers and adore leather sofas. 

At Schubiger Möbel you will find a great range of all-rounders from the Swiss Plus brand in a variety of materials, colours and sizes - the choice is almost as limitless as the functions of the sofa beds themselves. Let yourself be inspired in our online shop and inspect the quick-change artists on site in our main shop in Zurich or in our branch in Regensdorf.

A good sofa bed proves itself in everyday use - thanks to its high quality, it is particularly durable. They are made for use in small rooms, your own living room or the guest room. When making a sofa bed, many requirements come together that need to be harmonised. The art lies in combining aesthetics, functionality and quality to create a comfortable piece of furniture - both as a bed and as a sofa. Every new concept starts with the bed, which must have perfect sleeping ergonomics. Customised mechanisms are developed for each sofa bed, allowing it to be transformed into a bed and sofa with ease. The result: sofa beds that could not have been dreamed of in a more beautiful and comfortable way. 

Hardly any other piece of furniture is more versatile than the sofa bed. During the day, it is used for comfortable sitting and relaxing, in the evening it becomes a comfortable place to sleep. However, you shouldn't be able to tell that the sofa is a bed, and you shouldn't feel that it's actually a sofa when you're lying on it. Our sofa beds do not require any compromises. They fulfil both tasks at the highest level. If you want flexibility, then do it right. This means you don't have to decide which function is more important to you or whether you use the sofa bed more often for sleeping or sitting. Gone are the days when sofa beds were so solidly built that you could tell from a distance that they were hiding a sofa bed with a slatted frame. Our modern sofa beds are sleek designer furniture.

What speaks in favour of a sofa bed

Buying a sofa bed is worthwhile for many reasons: Do you want to offer your overnight guests a comfortable place to sleep? But you don't have the space for a permanent guest bed. Or you host overnight guests so rarely that you prefer to use the space in your home for other purposes. Or perhaps you live in a studio or small flat and would like a sleeping solution for yourself that can be converted during the day. In this case, a compact 2-seater sofa bed is ideal. A high-quality base is particularly important if you sleep on the sofa bed every day. In our versatile sofa bed range, you are guaranteed to find a model that suits your needs. For example, a sofa bed with slatted base, which is hardly any different from a conventional bed in terms of comfort. This is because a sofa bed with slatted frame in combination with a high-quality mattress yields optimally to the body weight thanks to the spring core, but at the same time supports the spine in the right places. This means that you can sleep on a sofa bed for years without compromising your health.

For large and small rooms: the right sofa bed

Depending on your requirements, you can opt for more or less space. You need to determine the size of the lying surface on the one hand and the size of the seat on the other. For the reclining surface, there is usually a choice between a single sofa bed or a double sofa bed. The latter offers a sofa bed measuring 160 × 200 cm, which is equivalent to a double bed. With a double sofa bed, you are of course more flexible, as you can offer sleeping accommodation for two guests at the same time. However, a double sofa bed can also be so large that the seating area is big enough for three or even more people. Be inspired by the practical sofa bed for small rooms and other tips for suitable furniture.

Alternatively, our range includes corner sofas that offer seating for the whole family and can be used as a sleeping area for a couple of guests at night.

Converted in a few simple steps

Modern sofa beds are also very popular because they can be converted in just a few simple steps. Our models can be easily operated by one person. Some sofa beds have a seat section that can be pulled forwards using a telescopic pull-out mechanism. The backrest completes the reclining surface when folded forwards. Or it remains fixed and serves as a headboard. On other sofa beds with slatted frames, the entire seat shell can be pulled back thanks to a practical folding mechanism. The seat section can then be folded down to the other side to create a two-part slatted frame. We also offer models that conceal a slatted frame under the seat - similar to a drawer - which can be pulled forwards and upwards as required. Another option is a sofa bed whose seat already forms the lying surface. Here, the folded-down armrest serves as an extension of the comfort surface. We also have sofa bed models with a hollow bed base in our range. Bedding can be stored dust-free in this. If guests spontaneously decide to stay overnight, you have duvets, pillows and covers to hand.

The right material for sofa beds

Anyone thinking about buying a sofa bed should consider the following question: Which is the right material for me for a sofa bed: leather, fabric or textile leather? Each material has its advantages. The existing furnishings can also be the deciding factor. After all, like any piece of furniture, the sofa bed should fit harmoniously into the room in order to contribute to a pleasant, cosy atmosphere. However, to ensure that the furniture is a pleasure to use, you should trust your personal taste in particular. Your own preferences also set the tone when it comes to design. At Schubiger Möbel, you will find classics with floor-to-ceiling carcasses as well as light and airy models that surprise with delicate base frames or decorative cushion shapes. When it comes to seating comfort, you can choose between a firm seat and sumptuous, low-sinking upholstery.

Leather sofa bed

A leather sofa bed is a long-lasting companion. The natural skin is hard-wearing and does not chafe, even if you sit on it every day. Leather is also easy to care for. This means that stains can be removed relatively easily and regular use of special leather care products maintains the suppleness and lustre of the leather. Choosing leather for a sofa bed also means opting for elegance and purity. From classic black to bright red or yellow to a subtle earth tone, various leather colours are possible.

Sofa bed covered with fabric or leather

Many people associate a fabric sofa bed with comfort and cosiness. Fabric generally feels warmer than leather, and the variety of fabric patterns is almost limitless. In terms of breathability, however, the leather sofa bed performs better.

Sofa bed in faux leather

Anyone who appreciates the coolness of a leather sofa bed but wants to do without animal products will find a faux leather sofa bed a worthwhile alternative. Robust and resistant to soiling, imitation leather is ideal for upholstered furniture.
