How to measure for a sofa bed

Because a sofa bed has two components, you’ll want to measure how it’s going to fit in your space both when it’s set up for sitting and sleeping. Of course, the process of measuring it before it’s been converted into a bed is identical so how a regular sofa is measured, which we’ve already explained above. So, we’re going to outline how to work out how it’s going to fit in your space when it’s being used as a bed.

Mark out the width of your sofa (W) and then the extended depth (ED) when it’s converted into a bed. You might also want to measure the height if you’re planning to push it against a wall and are worried that there might be some obstructions. By outlining how much space your sofa is going to take up, you should be able to work out whether it’s going to be easy enough to transform from sofa to bed when necessary, as well as decide whether your space is big enough to accommodate whichever of our sofa beds you’re interested in.
