Why our sleep experts loved it
Ensuring a comfortable, welcoming space for overnight guests that perfectly melds functionality with style can sometimes be a challenge. Finding a sofa bed that lives up to expectations on both fronts can feel like a goldilocks situation—too rigid, too dull, too flimsy, not quite right. Enter the Felicity Sofa Bed, the embodiment of 'just right'. This three-seater sofa bed seamlessly transforms from a striking center piece in your lounge, to a welcoming, comfortable bed for last-minute guests. With an easy click-clack opening function, a wealth of aesthetic detailing, and an undeniable air of luxury, it certainly caught our eye. We decided to roll up our sleeves and put it to a rigorous test at our local Bensons for Beds store, encompassing everything from its design and construction to the overall customer experience. So, let's plunge into our comprehensive critique of the Felicity Sofa Bed.
How we tested
Our testing process was deliberate and thorough, covering all the bases. We enlisted the assistance of the friendly dealership team for an in-depth product demonstration and took it upon ourselves to rigorously inspect every element of the Felicity Sofa Bed. We assessed the effort needed to install the bed, examined its comfort, and ran our hands over every part of the piece to get a sense of its texture and build quality. Not to stop there, we consulted the perspective of both seasoned customers and those who were taking their first steps into the world of sofa beds.
Design and features
The Felicity sofa bed stands out for its fusion of contemporary aesthetics with classic charm. The exterior gold legs offer a stunning contrast against the plush velvet fabric, presenting a street-chic look that screams sophistication. The retro fluted backrest and arm detail further enhance the sofa bed's charisma, making it a perfect fit in modern and Art Deco-inspired living spaces alike. Available in two colourways, Oyster and Rose Pink, the sofa bed smoothly blends into your existing interior, complementing and enhancing its overall appeal.
Construction
The construction of the Felicity Sofa Bed leaves little room for complaint. Its luxury velvet fabric feels soft to touch and boasts a high-end finish, which enhances both the visual and tactile experience for users. We have to give special kudos to the nifty click-clack opening function which makes the transformation from stylish sofa to comfortable bed a seamless, effortless affair. In essence, the Felicity Sofa bed is well-built, specifically designed to guarantee longevity and ensure immense comfort, regardless of its configuration.
Suitability
The versatility of the Felicity Sofa Bed makes it well-suited to a range of scenarios. Whether offering extra seating for a social gathering or morphing into an inviting bed for overnight guests, it keeps lifestyle and space requirements in check. Its generous size can easily accommodate two sleepers, making it ideal for family homes, apartments with frequent guests, or limited living spaces craving dual-purpose furniture. The sofa bed is light enough for most people to manage and assemble, leaving us impressed.
What customers thought
Many customers showered praises on the Felicity Sofa Bed for its elegance and comfort, apart from its easy assembly process. It’s worth noting that some called out the colour discrepancy, finding the oyster shade a bit more on the 'mink' side, but were pleasantly surprised nonetheless. There were some complaints regarding customer service hiccups and pieces missing on delivery, but the majority were greatly satisfied with their purchase. Notably, the 'chic and lush' design and 'high-quality product' comments caught our eye, affirming the product’s superior performance.
The verdict
After rigorous testing and analysing the customer feedback, we conclude that the Felicity Sofa Bed certainly lives up to its promise. It masterfully brings together practicality and elegance, ensuring a comfortable rest space without compromising on style. While some minor grievances exist around customer service, the overall impression is overwhelmingly positive. At the end of the day, the Felicity Sofa Bed ticks all the boxes for a functional, fashionable, and above all, comfortable sofa bed. We endorse it as a top-notch, valuable addition to any home decor scheme.
