Which is better for a small living room, a sofa bed or a futon?

For most small living rooms, a sofa bed, such as those from Koala, IKEA, or Brosa, generally offers greater comfort and versatility than a futon.

Sofa beds typically offer comfort and support for both sitting and sleeping, making them a practical choice for small living spaces.

For instance, modern furniture brands like Koala, IKEA and Brosa offer sofa beds with built-in mattresses and easy conversion mechanisms, offering convenience as well as space efficiency.

These sofa beds also tend to blend more seamlessly with a range of interior styles, helping to maximise the usability and aesthetics of a compact living room.
