Space-saving sofa bed with 18 cm high mattress: true comfort even in small spaces

Having limited space doesn't necessarily mean giving up a comfortable bed for yourself or your guests. The space-saving sofa bed with an 18 cm high mattress is an intelligent solution for furnishing studio apartments, children's rooms, studies, holiday homes, and guest rooms, combining a cozy seat and a real single bed in one element.

Among Europa Mobili's most popular products, this convertible armchair is available in two versions: one with traditional 10 cm armrests and an even more compact one with slim 3 cm armrests. The comfort and functionality characteristics remain the same: what changes is mainly the lateral footprint and the aesthetic appearance.

An armchair by day, a comfortable bed by night

During the day, it presents itself as a modern, comfortable armchair that is easy to integrate into various rooms of the house. When an additional bed is needed, the flip-open mechanism allows it to be transformed into a complete single bed in just a few movements.

Once opened, it reaches an overall footprint of 210 cm and offers a mattress measuring 70 × 180 cm, with a thickness of no less than 18 cm. The height of the bed base, including the mattress, is 57 cm.

The thickness of the mattress is one of its main strengths: compared to common sofa beds with thinner mattresses, this solution is designed to offer more comfortable rest and adequate support even when used frequently.

18 cm high mattress and robust structure

Comfort does not only depend on the padding. The armchair is equipped with a CATAS certified electrowelded bed base and a robust structure, designed to easily handle the alternation between use as a seat and use as a bed.

The 18 cm high mattress makes this armchair suitable not only for the occasional guest but also for those looking for a solution for more regular use: for example, in a child's room, a small apartment, or a second home.

Even when closed, it maintains a wide and comfortable seat, 93 cm wide, 55 cm deep, and 50 cm high.

Water-repellent, stain-resistant, and easy-to-clean fabric

The upholstery is made of fabric with a water-repellent and stain-resistant treatment, designed to make daily maintenance simpler. The seat is removable and the fabric is available in different colors, so you can choose the most suitable variant for the style and tones of the environment.

The artisanal Made in Italy production, the attention to finishes, and the possibility of choosing from multiple colors make the sofa bed a practical, yet pleasant, piece of furniture to always leave on display.

Two decorative cushions are also included, useful for completing the armchair's appearance during the day.

Traditional or slim armrests: which version to choose?

The two versions share the structure, seat, bed base, mattress, and opening system. The choice primarily depends on the available space and the desired aesthetic result.

Version with 10 cm armrests

The version with traditional armrests measures, when closed:

• width: 115 cm;

• depth: 99 cm;

• height: 90 cm.

The 10 cm armrests give it a fuller and more enveloping appearance. It is the ideal choice when you have a few extra centimeters and prefer the aesthetics of a traditional armchair.

Version with slim 3 cm armrests

The version with slim armrests measures, when closed:

• width: 100 cm;

• depth: 99 cm;

• height: 90 cm.

Thanks to the slim 3 cm armrests, it only takes up one meter in width, maintaining the same 93 cm seat and the same mattress as the wider version. It is therefore particularly suitable for niches, children's rooms, small studies, and environments where every centimeter is important.

Where can it be used?

The space-saving sofa bed is particularly useful:

• in children's or teenagers' bedrooms;

• in a study to be occasionally converted into a bedroom;

• in studio apartments and small flats;

• in holiday homes and accommodation facilities;

• in the guest room;

• in the living room, to always have an additional bed available.

When closed, it occupies a small space and functions as a normal armchair. When opened, it quickly provides a single bed, without having to move or assemble separate structures.

Simple opening and practical storage compartment

The flip-open mechanism allows the armchair to be opened and closed with simple and quick movements. Inside, there is also a compartment where you can store a pillow or a blanket, keeping everything you need near the bed and further limiting the bulk.

The armchair arrives almost completely ready: no actual assembly is required, as it is sufficient to insert the armrests into the appropriate side guides.

Which sofa bed to choose?

If the available space is very limited, the 100 cm version with slim armrests minimizes bulk without sacrificing seat width or mattress size.

If, on the other hand, you want a visually more substantial and enveloping armchair, the 115 cm version with 10 cm armrests is the most suitable choice.

In both cases, you get a Made in Italy solution that combines design, robustness, and comfort, with a real 18 cm high mattress and practical upholstery for everyday use.
