The quick answer

Yes, a floor sofa is comfortable enough for guests to sleep on: laid flat, its two mattresses make a 79 x 79 in (200 x 200 cm), roughly king-size surface that two adults can share. The foam is 1.75 lb/ft³ (28 kg/m³) cold foam, and buyers have used it for guests staying several weeks. The teddy floor sofa and its L-shaped version suit a guest room.

Before the guests arrive

  • Lift off the loose backrests. The sofa doesn't fold like a sofa bed; the seat cushions simply lie flat.
  • Lay the two mattresses side by side. Each is 39 x 79 in (99 x 200 cm), about twin XL. Together they make roughly 79 x 79 in (200 x 200 cm).
  • Put a rug underneath. The pieces stay put by weight, a non-slip base and the metal bars, and a rug stops sliding.
  • Check the floor space. Leave a hand's width of floor around the bed, so it reads as a room, not a mattress store.

What it is not

  • A fold-out sofa bed with a mechanism. It becomes a bed by laying cushions flat.
  • One solid slab. The seat, backrest and armrests are separate cushions that sit together.
  • Tied together by default. Every piece separates, so you can rearrange the room tomorrow.

Why it sleeps well

The workshop calls it very comfortable as a bed. Buyers have kept guests on it for several weeks.

The foam is cold foam at 1.75 lb/ft³ (28 kg/m³). Two adults can share the flat surface, which is why it suits a guest room that is also a study, or a living room most of the year. The floor sofa bed size and firmness Pattern has the details, and the layouts Pattern shows the pieces arranged as 118 x 39 in (300 x 100 cm) or 79 x 79 in (200 x 200 cm). More are under modular floor sofas.

How many nights a year does your spare room actually host someone?

A sofa by day. A bed by night. Nothing to fold.

A real project

A few weeks of guests on a floor sofa

A buyer in the US asked whether guests could sleep on the floor sofa for a few weeks. The answer was yes: it opens into a king-size sleeping surface on 1.75 lb/ft³ (28 kg/m³) cold foam, and the workshop calls it very comfortable as a bed. Another buyer asked the same thing for two adults, and the 79 x 79 in layout settled it.

Two floor sofa mattresses laid side by side make about 79 x 79 in (200 x 200 cm), roughly king size, enough for two adult guests.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Is the floor sofa comfortable enough for guests staying a few weeks?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The workshop says it's very comfortable as a bed, and it opens into a king-size sleeping surface on 1.75 lb/ft³ (28 kg/m³) cold foam.

  2. A common question

    Can two adults sleep on the floor sofa bed?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. With both mattresses laid flat it makes a 79 x 79 in bed that two people can share, which suits a guest room.

  3. A common question

    Do you have anything that works as a spare bed?

    The workshop's answer

    The workshop recommended its teddy floor sofa, which lays out into a bed, and an L-shaped version of it, both offered in 9 colors.

  4. A common question

    How does the modular floor sofa turn into a bed?

    The workshop's answer

    Remove the loose backrests and lay the seat cushions flat side by side; it doesn't fold like a traditional sofa bed. The pieces arrange as 118 x 39 in (300 x 100 cm) or 79 x 79 in (200 x 200 cm), and the L-shape makes an even bigger bed.

Questions buyers ask next

Is a floor sofa bed closer to a queen or a king?

Closer to a king. Each seat mattress is 39 x 79 in, about twin XL, and side by side they make about 79 x 79 in. The corner version with an ottoman lays out larger still.

Will the floor sofa pieces drift apart overnight?

They're held by their own weight, a non-slip base and the metal bars rather than hook-and-loop or ties, and every piece separates for rearranging. A rug underneath stops the pieces from sliding.

What size does the teddy convertible open to?

About 63 x 79 in (160 x 200 cm), a little narrower than the 79 x 79 in two-mattress layout. On the convertible model the top section is one piece rather than separate cushions.
