Do you need a special mattress for a sofa bed?

Sofa beds need mattresses that specifically fit their unique folding frames and provide comfort in both sitting and sleeping positions.

For instance, contemporary furniture retailers like Koala, Brosa, and Fantastic Furniture make their sofa beds with integrated or purpose-built mattresses to ensure easy conversion and durability.

Using a regular mattress generally doesn't work, as it may be too thick or inflexible for the folding mechanism and can compromise the functionality of the sofa bed.
