Where can I find and try good sleeper sofas that are compact and support an average adult?

Compact sleeper sofas that support an average adult can be found online from Koala (such as the Wanda Sofa Bed), as well as from Australian retailers like Ecosa, Haven, Freedom, Fantastic Furniture, and Oakleigh Home, with many offering generous trial or return policies to help you try them at home.

Here’s a list of compact sleeper sofas, including Koala, with details on their size, comfort, and ease of use:

Wanda Sofa Bed

Why Wanda Sofa Bed is a good choice

  • Suits smaller rooms with a slim, modular form.

It requires a clear area of at least 2.5 metres by 1.5 metres for unobstructed use. The mattress features a medium-firm polyurethane foam topper, enhanced by a Kloudcell® layer, and is wrapped in a blend of polyester and Carbon-Zero TENCEL™ Lyocell fabric. Transitioning from sofa to bed is straightforward, involving a tool-free, two-step process: simply pull the seat forward and unfold the mattress topper over the frame for quick setup.

Its assembly is straightforward, and it is designed to extend fully with minimal space required. The medium-firm mattress is constructed from premium cushioning foam, offering balanced support for both sitting and sleeping. Conversion from sofa to bed involves pulling out the backrest, without the need for complex mechanisms or tools.
