Cheap Sofa Beds 2019: From Fold Out Futons to Stylish Convertible Settees

Whether you need to save space in your tiny city studio or simply want a bed for friends when they stay the night, sofa beds can be such a saviour.

Don't get put off by the thought of cheap sofa beds - gone are the days of complicated mechanisms and uncomfortable sleep on dodgy mattresses.

Back in the day, you could immediately tell a sofa bed from an ordinary sofa, because they were boxy and uncomfortable. But today, there's little between them. A sofabed can enhance your interior aesthetic like any other piece of furniture.

From futons to single bed settees, there's a range of affordable sofa beds that vary in sizes.

They are easy to assemble and will give you as good a night's sleep as your own bed.

Sofa beds can cost hundreds - fear not, though, we've got your back, and have searched far and wide for all the coolest, cheapest deals around now.

Originating in Japan, futons ooze coolness due to a unique blend of fussy free functionality and minimalism.

The Mito double futon from Dune Elm features a solid pine frame, complete with a quality fibre blend button design mattress.

It comes in nude, navy, chocolate brown or fuchsia - our fave is navy because it's the most versatile.

We said we'd find you easy-to-assemble sofa beds - you can put this Wayfair design up in one swift move.

The back of this sofa simply comes down to create a double bed. But it's not only straightforward, the faux leather finish and quilted padding is super stylish.

This one's gives us NYC loft vibes, made for cocktail sleepovers and late night pizzas.

If you don't have much space and often just have one guest to stay, opt for one of these single sofa beds from Made for under 200.

In a retro inspired design, the button detailing and smooth fabric make it a cool living room addition set on four metal legs.

There are various fabrics (like leather) and colours to choose from but if you're looking to save money, opt for the cotton version.

Ikea always comes through with some bargain basics, just like this double sofa bed.

It's lightweight, in a simple design to convert into a roomy bed. Instead of being padded or fitted with coils, it's set on a stretched base to create a comfortable base for sleeping or sitting. Folding out into a Japanese futon style bed, it works well in minimalist decor.

Grey is a versatile tone too, so whether your room's colour scheme is bright or muted, this will slot right in.

Another single-move sofa bed, this George at Asda baby folds down swiftly with no stress.

You can easily convert this sofa bed into a double bed and it works perfectly for your living room space.

It's ultra-padded, so you can go from a snug day of watching TV to a sleepy night of sweet dreams.

We can always trust Made to create cool contemporary interiors for decent prices.

This sofa bed has fixed cushions so it requires minimal fuss to set it up: simply fold it out in one swift move to create a bed.

Featuring a sprung foam seat and back it's a comfy, medium-firm sit...and sleep.

It comes in a range of primary colours but mustard yellow is our fave - offset it with some hipster cheese plants and the tone will really pop.

You won't be able to even tell this one's a sofa bed, as Ikea have remodelled a classic traditional settee. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Crafted from sustainable cotton, it's built with goodwill too.

This one is sure to last you through years of unexpected, and expected, guests, giving them a super night's sleep with lots of space and cushioning.

We know this might came across as a more pricey option, but this sofa is filled with high resilience foam to last you a life-time.

We'll end with a fancy velvet sofa bed from Made, just in case your budget is a little more boujee.

Designed by British designer Matt Arquette in a 1920s inspired style, it's crafted from teal velvet, quilted for texture and set on Art Deco wooden legs topped with gold caps.

It'll make a fab addition to your home, even if you hardly use it as a bed.

Made always offers a range of sofa beds with different colours to work for every home - choose from mustard, blush pink, pine green and sapphire blue.

It completely depends on you whether you want to sleep on your sofa bed every night.
