If you have an extra room at home, you can make the most of this space by turning it into a guest bedroom. However, you may want to be a little more flexible if you don’t always have the guests over. In such cases, you may want to turn the extra room into a study, art room, or perhaps entertainment room, which can turn into a guest bedroom. Therefore, you’ll want to invest in sofa beds. Sofa beds are types of sofas that can turn into a bed, usually using some mechanism in the bed pulls it down to turn into a flat surface. If you want to buy the best sofa bed for your home, check out these tips:


•    Check for a durable frame. Since the frame is the moveable part of sofa beds, it should be made of a good material and good construction so it doesn’t break down after a few uses.


•    Check the mattress. This should be soft and comfortable enough for both sitting and sleeping. Also, check the quality. The material should be strong, and able to withstand the wear and tear you’ll put it through. Try to buy a spring mattress. When you go to the store, try lying down on the mattress for at least 5 minutes so you can tell if it’s comfortable or not.


•    Check the mounting plate. This is the steel part in the sofa where the wooden skeleton is often attached. These should be bolted on, not just screwed on.
