What is a sofa for occasional sleeping?

A convertible sofa bed for occasional sleeping is a product designed for occasional sleeping. It's perfect for overnight guests. At La Maison Convertible, sofa beds for occasional or regular sleeping take up little space. They're perfect for small rooms. If you'd like to use the bed more regularly, refer to our "daily sleeping" section.

Which mattress for occasional sleeping?

When choosing a sofa bed, one of the most important considerations is the type of mattress that will be used and its thickness. For occasional sleeping, a foam mattress is a good option. These mattresses are relatively light . You need to look at the density of the mattress, ideally greater than 28kg/m3. Some products are not necessarily as comfortable as the mattress of a bed intended for daily sleeping, which must have a density greater than 40kg/m3. The same goes for the thickness, which must be greater than 6cm for occasional sleeping vs. 14cm for regular sleeping. Ultimately, the best mattress for a sofa bed depends on the need and use.

Is the system for opening an occasional bed simple?
