We were looking for a sofa bed that would fit into our small spare room. We looked at fold out ones but we're concerned about comfort. Google led me to find the Cork a frame sofa bed which was the widest size that would fit in our room. It arrived quickly and looked great in the room as a sofa. Granted, it isn't as comfortable as a regular sofa but still comfortable enough. This weekend, we were having guests who stayed for 2 nights which was our first real test for the Cork. It did not disappoint. The couple found it comfortable and did not want to get out of bed. One half of the couple went as far as to say it was more comfortable than their bed back home. Really pleased with the purchase and have no regrets.

The Cork sofa bed has a smart and understated look as a sofa and because it has no arms, the whole width becomes useable mattress area. Its the length of a standard double but only an inch or so off being a full king size width, which is great. In terms of bed linen, a kingsize fitted sheet and duvet fit nicely. The foam is a little on the firm side so a thick (preferably memory foam) mattress topper is a must for a comfortable nights sleep. Overall, were really pleased with this sofa bed - not too imposing as a sofa in a spare room and a good, useable size as a spare bed. Also easy to unfold and put away.

I bought this sofa bed for our spare room and weve already had guests sleep on it for 2 nights - it pulls out super easily and quickly and they said it was really comfortable, which Im so pleased about. I bought a cushioned topper from Amazon to go on top and its perfect. Folds away quickly too. Its a good sized double and is great for sitting on when my partner is working next to it for a chat!

I saw this Sofabed and it was the only one I liked in terms of design, style and colour. I ordered a double size online, the product didn't disappoint and the estimated delivery was bang on time. Customer Service was 5* in terms of purchasing, processing, communication via email to delivery. I will definitely recommned Dreams to friends and family in the future.

Perfect sofa bed for a spare room - compact, stylish and excellent quality. Easy to open and close and very comfortable in both sofa and bed mode. Sleeps two people without any issue despite being narrower than some other options. Overall a great choice if you're looking for a high quality sofa bed and are conscious about space!

We bought this sofa bed for our grand son which he loves it folds down very easy and goes back easy as well but the only problem is its not that comfortable for an adult to sleep on for a long period of time ok for over night. This is ok to sit on as my grandchildren use this for there gaming chair which is why we bought this.

Ideal product for what we needed to fit in a small room which is only sometimes required as a bedroom, but more often required as a sitting room. Bought two of the single seater sofas so that two people can sleep when required. Gave four stars instead of five because one sofa slightly harder to sit on than the other.

We have yet to use this sofa , so hard to give a review .We were very disappointed with the salesman Paul who we rang on the day and said we paid 40 for bed to be assembled, and was told thats for putting bed in room and taking away rubbish I then emailed H/O and followed up with a phone call. Refund sorted.

This new sofa bed is ideal for our non dining Dining Room and is awaiting it's first users. The colour of Heather looks lovely and the material is warm and strong. I have sampled it after easily making it into the bed position. It's very nice though my older frame would prefer something a wee bit softer.

We bought this as a Managers special a few weeks ago, we havent used it yet as bought it as a spare guest bed to go in the study. Its very neat and fitted easily into the space we had, a larger sofa bed would not fit because of arms etc. Great for the purpose we bought it for. Quick easy delivery.

I purchased this sofa bed to go in a guest bedroom that also doubles as a hobbies room. The single size fits the room perfectly and is ideal for the occasional overnight guest. Easy open out and close up again it is a good size for an adult. I cannot comment on its comfort as I haven't slept on it.

Im absolutely gutted because this sofa bed looked great and had fab reviews but the delivery guys could barely get it in the front door let alone up the stairs! I have a smallish house so need a sofa bed for guests but Im back to the drawing board to find something suitable!

This small double Sofa Bed fits perfectly in my box guest room. It is sturdy but extremely comfortable. I got the Grey which goes well with my deco and can be moved to any room in the house for any extra seating that may be required. Nice versatile piece of furniture.

Easy to order on line and delivered on date given at start. Guys who delivered the sofa where very good and took care moving it up stairs. British made seems good quality for the money. Easy to make into a bed and just the right size as a sofa for the room.

This sofa bed is comfortable to sleep on, easy to flatten out into a bed and easy to reassemble. Having no arms it takes up no more space than the width of the bed (comes in 3 sizes) and is prefect for small rooms. I am delighted with it.

If you are looking for a compact sofa bed this is perfect. Although small this sofa bed is deceivingly super comfortable. There is no wrestling to open or close, and it is easy enough to be done by yourself.

Very nice quality, with a lovely textured fabric. Unfortunately, when laid out flat it doesn't click into place, so the only way it stays in shape is if someone lies on it!
