Measure up carefully

Firstly, you’ll need to work out where you are going to put your new sofa bed and measure up to see how much room you have. Make sure that you have enough space for the bed to be fully opened. If you have plenty of space, it’s worth buying a large sofa-bed, as your guests will have more room to stretch out, making for a more comfortable night’s sleep. However, make sure that when the bed is extended, it won’t block any doorways and that there will be enough space around it for your guests to be able to move around the room easily. It’s also important to make sure that you will be able to get your new sofa bed through your front door and any internal doors, so measure up these areas as well.
